Are you finding that happiness seems further and further away these days, as world events continue to shock us? Are you at a loss to find the motivation and sense of purpose you need to keep pressing forward with the things that matter most to you? If so, you’re not alone, and in in my work as a [self-mastery coach]( I love helping people see through this to reconnect with their power. [Click here to book a FREE 15-minute insight call with me](. It’s a rare chance to get an outside, objective, focused perspective on your challenges to help you catch what you might be missing. A friend of mine shared a quote recently, and although I don’t know who said it, it resonates. “I was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever had to overcome.” Ain’t that the truth. In my darkest times, many years ago, one of the most terrifying things I went through was depression. Serious depression. And while this was stacked with serious drug addiction, alcoholism, and other nasty stuff like that, looking back I think the depression came first and stoked the fires of all the self-destructive things I was doing. It was the primary symptom of my dis-ease. Depression was terrifying because it seemed so total, so all-consuming, so complete. It colored everything about life, and ate away at my soul. It felt like I was drowning every minute of everyday, and the experience of happiness seemed so far away. I tried psychiatric pills for a bit, but I was too emotionally intelligent (even in my hopelessness), and recognized that the pills were numbing me rather then healing me. I wanted to FEEL my life, but the antidepressants took me even further away from feeling anything. It was me and my despair, alone together, locked in a pitched battle for my life. To live in despair is terrifying. What if you can’t handle it anymore and give up? What happens then? It’s unthinkable. I’m incredibly blessed to have survived this part of my life, and I wanted to comment on this today, because the acute and chronic stress we’re under is taking its toll. Just when it seemed like we were going to make through such historic and challenging times, another MAJOR change has just occurred in our world, and many are reeling from the shock of it. And even if war is avoided, the events of the last couple of weeks have already irrevocably altered our world in many profound and impactful ways. The OLD NORMAL is clearly gone forever, and processing what this means for ourselves, our families and our children is heavy. Ii opens up a roadway to despair. This road can lead to depression… if we allow it. [Access your FREE 15-minute coaching call]( But what is depression? This is something I’ve looked at for many years, and I wanted to share a few quotes from one of my favorite books, Healing and Recovery by David Hawkins. “There is a loss of the sense of aliveness, excitement, and commitment to life.” “What we really see is the lack of desire to live.” “One might say that depression is nature’s way, God’s way, and our own psychology’s way of saying to us that the way we look at our life is not okay.” “A depressive episode, even a brief one, has the potential for joy within it because it is something coming up in life, saying, “Look at me! Look at me! Here is a mistake that has been causing you pain and suffering for endless amounts of time and will continue to cause you pain and suffering for endless amounts of time!”” “Something within our consciousness set us up to be vulnerable.” With depression, “we will find that the person has placed their survival on something outside themselves… on placing the source of our happiness externally.” “To feel separated from that which we want is to unconsciously feel separated from God." “The common frailty of human consciousness is to make happiness dependent upon externals, such as saying, ‘Well, when I get that degree, when I’ll be successful and happy,’ etc.” In short, depression is a clue that your approach to thinking about life is off and requires adjustment. That you’re looking outside of yourself for happiness, and in a world that is changing so rapidly, this perspective on happiness can be terrifying, even disastrous. More than ever before you are being called upon to stand firm in all of your strength and power. Helping people to update their philosophy about life is my greatest joy. Coming up in a couple of week I’m presenting my latest live zoom event called [Crack the Code of Self-Sabotage](. It is a comprehensive two-part master class on updating your mindset and skillset to help you master the parts of life that will have the greatest impact on your peace and prosperity as we move further into challenging times. It’s hard to be depressed when you’re in the flow, in love with your life, and making steady progress toward your goals and dreams. Please join me!
