You might feel as though you’re going through a UNIQUE experience that nobody else can possibly understand; however, depression is actually a very COMMON human experience.
Most people will experience feelings of depression at some time in their lives, usually following a LIFE CHANGE or LOSS.
In fact, there are 300 MILLION people who have been diagnosed with depression worldwide.
However, statistics can be MISLEADING – the above figure includes people who have PASSING depression (as a result of a life crisis), and this figure does not include the OUTCOME for people who have had depression.
Given that there are about 7.7 BILLION people on the planet, that leaves a lot of people who are simply going about their normal lives without any great, dark cloud hovering over them.
In fact, some people actually ENJOY life – now, there’s a CONCEPT! And there are even some people who have been where you are, who have thrown off their dark cloud and found that life can again be SATISFYING, INTERESTING and PLEASURABLE – despite being full of CHALLENGES and CONTRASTS, as it has ALWAYS been.
So, what might these people be doing that you’re not?
Let’s take a look.


They’re nice to themselves
They’ve found something to love
They have something to do
They take life as it is
They’ve moved on from the past
They’ve focused their mind on thoughts that support them
While all this might seem out of reach from where you currently are, it is POSSIBLE to feel better. It takes a COMMITMENT to do so, and that means making FEELING BETTER a PRIORITY.
The ONLY difference between those who aren’t in your emotional place and YOU is that you’re not doing the things that make you feel BETTER (including and ESPECIALLY helpful THINKING) and they ARE.
You are not being asked to FLY TO MARS or GROW AN EXTRA LEG or CURE CANCER; you are simply being asked to take a good, hard look at how YOU make life HARD for yourself and DO SOMETHING ELSE.
