Question:
5 TIPS to REDUCE DEPRESSION
by Wayne Perkins
While war and poor economic conditions begin to affect people all over the world, more and more people suffer with depression. The more we focus on news events and the business climate, the more we are depressed. Whatever the reason you feel is the cause of your depression, the following five simple tips guarantee you reduce it significantly.
1. Do not read newspapers.
Newspapers publish negative stories most of the time. Even in peaceful periods, newspapers will find the worst in humanity and place negative stories on display in order to promote sales and subscribers. Stories focused on War, rebellion, death, destruction, doom and despair abound in the newspapers. Stop reading the newspaper and reduce the negative input to your brain.
2. Turn off your television.
Watching and listening about the horrible economy and the losses associated with War will add to depression. In fact, you guarantee the feeling of helplessness. Helplessness allows depression to nurture. If you really need to watch or listen to these kinds of news stories, promise yourself you will bury yourself in the documentaries that are sure to follow in the next 5 or 10 years. A way you can eliminate most of the negative input to your brain is by setting it aside for a date somewhere in the future. I guarantee in the future, you will not find it very interesting.
When visitors come to your home, make sure you turn off your television and keep it off. News television broadcasters are fighting for your guests' attention as they promote despair, war, death, and destruction with many headline news interruptions. Those little banners that run across the bottom of the screen grab your attention and they take hold of your consciousness. Television will diminish your positive spirit.
3. Say good things about others
My mother always says, "if you can't say anything nice about others, don't say anything at all." However, when you find yourself in a conversation and a relative says, "Remember Uncle Phil?" " He was an alcoholic"; respond with " Yes, Uncle Phil was an alcoholic and he was the most charitable person, I have ever met." Connect your relative's negative statement about Phil with a positive one. Set yourself up to find the positive in anyone's statement and you will keep negative thoughts and depression from overtaking your life.
4. Get physical exercise
Adults forget about exercise when suffering from depression. Make sure you are exercising daily and sending more oxygen to your brain cells. The result of exercise will improve your health as well as your attitude.
5. Breathe deep and relax.
Breathe deeply and relax. For 3 minutes each hour take a short mental vacation. Practice the following breathing exercise to relax your body and mind. You can engage in this exercise while you are standing in the checkout line at the supermarket or when listening to others talking on a telephone. You can complete the exercise at home or at work. Take three deep breathes and relax. As you inhale, concentrate on calm and peaceful thoughts. You may think about relaxing by a mountain, by the ocean or comfortably in your favourite room at home. As you exhale, concentrate on pushing any tension out of your lungs. Focus on positive images in your life. Focus on laughter, love, excitement, and hope. Keep breathing in and out in this pattern until you feel better. If you practice the exercise often, you will notice wonderful changes in your outlook and in other aspects of your life.
Let yourself feel great now! Enjoy your family, your friends, and your life.
Hi Alex;)
I enjoyed reading those - THANKS for sharing them:D
However, I'd like to share some of that which Dr Hulda Clark writes in her "The Cure for All Diseases" book. "All persons I have seen with clinical depression had small roundworms in the brain. Is it any wonder the brain can't make enough neurotransmitters or gets them out of balance? The usual worms are hookworms (Ancylostoma), Ascaris of cats & dogs, Trichinellas and Strongyloides." [:@]
She also writes under Manic Depression: "This variety of depression is associated with Strongyloides, as the main parasite in the brain. Plus chlorine as an allergen! Strongyloides is the same worm that causes migraines and other severe types of recurrent headache. It probably depends on where these tiny worms have set up their "housekeeping" which symptoms you get: manic depression or migraines. Maybe chlorine is the deciding factor." See www.drclark.com for more!
I'm sure that your 5 steps will work much more effectively once these little 'nasties' have been removed with one of her zappers or other proven deparasitizing inconjunction with thorough kidney & liver detox methods.
Bye now,

PS: Anyone with any health problem or health concern should of course consult their Medical prof. healthcare provider for correct diagnosis and treatment.

as I said before I deal with people suffering with different levels of depression all the time. I know very well what you mean. In fact you are right that one of the major problems is that people do not really understand what depression is and feels like to someone who is depressed. So thank you for sharing that Tia. And if you ever what to share with me... feel free. Take care.
Believer
well that is an interesting explantion of depression. I never heard anything like that before. But... but... any scientific prrofs for what you say? And surely if we had those... worms inside of us why should they cause depression rather than a more likely physical illness? Just curious to find out. Very puzzling and certainly an unusual approach to this problem. Take care.
Your post struck a cord with me.
I have had many tough, unsettling and stressful years, the most damaging was last year.
Since then, I am suffering with anxiety and now depression.
I treat myself with aroma baths etc..but have succumed to anti depressants from the doctor and anti anxiety pills too as it was getting very bad.
I worry too much and think too much.
Can anyone recommend anything to lift my spirits and to get better?
Ive been considering Hypnotherapy to change the way I think. to stop the anxiety and nervousness.
Thankyou
lotti
well great to see that my small efforts have helped some what.
Sure you can try hipnotherapy, that would certainly help. You can also very simply try to focus on what gives you joy, what makes you happy and let that affect your feelings.
The other thing to do is to make a list of all the good things in you, the great achievements in your life and see that after all, you are... a great person. That , by reaction, will counteract the negative depressive feelings.
Another way is to start saying everyu day positive affirmations that will build your confidence and esteem in who and what you are. It is important to do it regularly though and to believe iin what you say.
Just a few quick tips. Take care.
Physical exercise gets the endorphins flowing. A natural high. Also try meditating.
