Depression And How To Beat It

Even though the effects of depression may be all too real in your life, depression is simply not real. If believe yourself to be suffering from depression, it’s just your imagination because depression is the direct result of your subconscious mind’s obsession with useless thoughts that you took on board during your childhood years. It is normal for your subconscious mind to dwell on the past – everyone’s does – it’s simply that the nonsense that yours is paying attention to is evidently a little (or a lot) out of the ordinary. Of course, that’s not your fault – your subconscious mind was conditioned with these thoughts by others, people and events that made you feel worthless, guilty, dejected during those childhood years.

Even though it’s normal for your subconscious to dwell on past deeply-rooted memories, this obsession doing you damage – you can see it and feel it in your daily life. Again, mustn’t feel bad about this – everyone’s subconscious mind is doing them damage – at least you have the advantage over other normal people in realizing that you have a problem.

But that problem is completely down to what your subconscious mind is thinking about. You must tear your mind away from those self-destructive thoughts and redirect your attention to the one place and time that’s real, the only place and time that you can actually live – the present moment. If you manage to turn your attention to the here and now you will experience something that you probably have never experienced before – depression is an illusion, there’s no such thing as fear or worry, there’s only a world full of possibilities and opportunities – and quantum physics proves that that wonderful world will respond to your hopes and dreams.

Pills or medicine will not enable you experience the difference between reality and the fiction of stress – they might make the pain go away for a while but your subconscious mind will always wander back to those thoughts that are not real but just an imprint of your own ancient history. The only way in which you will experience reality – one cleansed of depression – is to learn how to clear your mind. No sweat! Because, as a child, you had a totally clear mind – that’s how those bad feelings were impressed upon you way back then. All you’ve got to do now is re-train yourself to pay attention to what your five senses are telling you, just right now – without putting your subconscious mind’s warped interpretation onto the facts.

I am convinced that the best way to relearn how to pay attention to the reality of your five senses is meditation – preferably, for starters, guided meditation. It will take you a while to get into it, it can be difficult, but a small amount of commitment will yield the wonderful benefit of your being able to live your life to the full.
