Life is so Depressing
Life can be very depressing at times. I know I have been there. But there is a massive
difference between feeling unhappy and suffering from depression. Western medicine loves to use "labels" for
every type of illness. I know I have been there too and so do people. We use labels all the time. Even down to
which clothes we wear. Depression can become a habit same as being bored and unhappy. I remember my mother once
saying when I used to say "I am bored" and she would say being bored is only for boring people.
People are able to figure out themselves whether they are actually depressed or not without having someone put a
label on it. Our whole body is made up of energy and our moods change from day to day so we are never in one state
at all times. For those people who can recognise symptoms of depression within themselves, spiritual life coaching
can help them resist the urge to go down in that dark black hole.
Often people who have depression have very low self esteem and negative thought patterns. Most of the time people
base their negative feelings on false conclusions, false logic and over generalisation. A compassionate coach can
help you change your thought patterns and help you move towards a more positive way of thinking.
By changing your thought patterns it brings about a whole different approach to depressive
cycles that may have been plaguing you for years, thus in turn improving the quality of your life and allowing you
to make better life choices. It gives you a clearer picture so that you can see what is missing in your life in
terms of happiness. It is a bit like unlearning bad habits. It is not a quick fix but then it took most people
years to learn bad habits so its going to take a while to break that cycle.
