Dealing with Depressions - Transforming your Thoughts

 

                                             “As a Man thinks in his heart so is he”.

       The great quote above means what you think about a situation quite inevitably what becomes of it. Therefore, its important in each and every situation our thinking should be Positive.

       

Mind is indeed the most powerful force in the world. Yoga specialists have stated that whoever can control the mind is indeed a powerful human being. That said, it is obvious that in coping with stress and dealing with depressive situations, one should make every step to think positively as perhaps the first weapon to combat negative challenges.

        

Thoughts have the innate ability of phenomenally materializing into what it is that is projected in your mind. To overcome Depression, we should all make attempts to change our mental habits to belief instead of disbelief as much as possible.

       

The feelings of worthlessness, doubt, pessimism, if we allow depressive thoughts to constantly permeate our minds, they could actually gain the ability to diffuse into our speech and actions. This could aggravate the very situations and challenges one is facing that may be causing depressive thoughts in the first place.

       The famous psychologist-William James quotes as below -

             “Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking or challenging situation is the one thing that insures a successful outcome at the end”

       It means we must change our thought processes about our situations first, perform the actions that will lead us to and keep us on the path to success. Combining all three factors will greatly help in making sure each component (most importantly our thoughts) remains positively tuned towards overcoming our depression.

            

“Life’s problems are like knives, which either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle: Grasp a difficulty or problem by the blade and it cuts; grasp it by the handle and you can use it constructively”

The above quote explains entire situation in just two sentences.
