Good Day Brothers and Sisters, Its Wednesday, 28th April 2007 Hello My dear Brothers and Sisters, Good Morning and a Great New Day full of laughter, joy and peace to you all, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Feel free to forward this post in its entirety without changing the credits ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ Starting off rightaway with an inspiring article from a newsletter that I am d to ... Here's the URL - Bradley Thompson, Self-Dev Authorhttp://www.SelfHelpStreet.com/ How to Put an End to Depression Depression can have many, many faces. If you are not aware of your feelings and emotions on a daily basis, it can creep up on you and cause misery in your life when you least expect it. We get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by the person we love, or when someone very close to us passes away. Depression, however, could be more fatal than just plain sadness. It could cause life-long consequences that could ruin your self-esteem, your health, and your well-being. Here are some excellent tips for conquering depression

and to help you get the most enjoyment out of your daily activities. 1. Be Certain of Your Future Goals. If you have no goals then the future will seem uncertain. This will create anxiety and just add to the problem.

Having goals gives you something to look forward to in life. They drive us on and create a desire for life. Keep your focus on your goals. 2. Keep a Journal. Every day, write down your deepest feelings. Say what you want to say. Get it out of your head and onto paper. Don't hold back. This is a very therapeutic way to pull yourself back up. Keep writing down whatever comes into your mind and very soon you will feel your mood start to improve. Done properly, this method can create dramatic changes in emotion. 3. Get Enough Light and Sunshine. Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for the secre'tion of the hormone melatonin, which could trigger a dispirited mood and a lethargic condition. Melatonin is only produced in the dark. It lowers the body temperature and makes you feel sluggish. If you are always cooped up in your room (with the curtains closed), it would be difficult to restrain yourself from staying in bed.

This is the reason why many people are suffering from depression much more often in winter than in the other seasons. It's because the nights are longer. If you can't go outdoors to get some sunshine, you can always lighten up your

room with brighter lights. Have lunch outside the office. Take frequent walks instead of driving your car over short distances. 4. Keep Busy. Get Inspired About Something. It's a fact that people are happiest when they are producing something.

Do some activity that you have always wanted to do. Live a life full of inspired activities. What is it that you really love to do? What are you passionate about?. Taking a nice walk in the park, playing sports, reading books,

or listening to some soothing music. 5. Make Some Time For Yourself. I mean it. Listen to soothing music. Soak in a nice warm bath. Ask one of your close friends to massage you. Take a break from your stressful workload and spend the day just goofing around. In other words, have fun. 6. Eat Healthy and Exercise Regularly. Avoid foods with lots of sugar, caffeine, or alcohol. Sugar and caffeine may give you a brief moment of energy; but they would later bring about anxiety , tension, and internal problems. Alcohol is a depressant. Many people drink alcohol to "forget their problems." It never works. The ONLY way to handle problems is to confront them. Describe your problems in your journal fully. If you

really face them the right solution might appear. Exercising regularly is a vital depression buster.

Spending time and engaging in worthwhile activities with your friends could give you a very satisfying feeling. Nothing

feels better than having group support. Get intimate. Establish close ties with your family and friends. The love you get from others is very satisfying. In times of depression having stable influences around you is comforting. Really take control of your own life. Follow these tips. Come up with your own solutions.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3-10 NASB Fear Not! The waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." Proverbs 1:32,33 NIV __________________ All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for

it shall not come near you. Isaiah 54:13,14 NKJV __________________ For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:14-16 NASB Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.
