You’re not as Depressed as You Think You Are

You’re not as Depressed as You Think You Are

Plenty of people out there are depressed with where their life is heading. The economy is coming down around our heads, bills are piling up around you, and food prices are skyrocketing. This is enough to drive anyone crazy and there is little that you can do about any of it on a worldwide level. But what can you do to make your life better on a more personal level? Well, let's take a look at the things that can give you a happier life than what you are currently living.

The most common cure for depression these days requires a prescription and the use of a pill from a pharmaceutical company. By the way, they don’t care about your health; they just want your money. Doctors assume that if you are depressed, then there has to be a chemical imbalance going on in your body. The thing they won't tell you is that the chemical imbalance is usually a result of the crap that you are eating on a daily basis. It’s actually been proven that mice that now eat the same foods you are eating become lethargic and depressed with low energy levels.

It has also been proven that those same mice can turn that around by eating healthy whole foods that aren't loaded down with pesticide and herbicide chemicals. After a week or two, all those depressed and lethargic mice will be running around their cages without a worry in the world, full of energy. So, the first thing you are going to need to do is find a way of planting a small garden to supplement your diet with some fresh fruit and vegetables. In this way, you can chuck that bag of Cheetos and eat something that your body will actually digest rather than just feel full on.

The next thing you are going to need to do is leave out the soda and start drinking water. Granted, that stuff that comes out of your tap is probably not very healthy for you, either. After all, they load it down with chlorine and fluoride to the point that it’s just as chemically laden as any pharmaceutical pill on the market. That’s why you need a good filtration system for your water, even in bathing because your skin is soaking up that chemical cocktail in your local water system. By the way, bottled water is the same as tap water in most cases.

If you can clean up your diet and drink fresh healthy water, then you will see your energy levels rise. This will, in turn, allow you to get a moderate amount of exercise every week and that will put the chemicals in your body back into balance. Now, you aren't depressed and, when you are feeling better about yourself and your life, you are able to do the things you need in order to change things for the better. No self-help books are needed for this and you can stop going to your shrink every week, too, which will save you money and make you even happier.

Your Worst Enemies in Self Growth

 Your Worst Enemies in Self Growth

Many people are unhappy with their lives. They do not exactly get what they want in their lives and they have no choice but to go through the struggle. If you are refusing to be complacent about all of this, you can fight back and do something about it. Unfortunately, self-growth is not easily achieved. Not only is it hard to fight through the struggle, it is almost impossible due to the presence of barriers.

The Presence of Barriers

Barriers come in different forms and they can be physical, emotional and mental barriers. They will be powerful enough to destroy you and keep you from getting to your destination. It is up to you if you will fight or succumb to it. It is up to you if you want to make a difference. The barriers will not go away because they are natural components of every journey, and you either have to overcome them or allow them to overcome you.

The Enemies

There are different kinds of barriers that you will have to deal with. Here are some of them:

·        Fear: This is an obvious barrier from self growth and success. Fear keeps people from doing something because it gives people a reason to rationalize laziness, incapacity and poor performance. Fear can easily drain you of your power and can enslave you.

·        Pride: Pride keeps people from growing because when give way to pride, you shut down certain parts of your life and keep yourself from spreading your wings and achieving greatness. Pride is quite poisonous and if you allow pride to rule over your life, you are allowing yourself to be consumed by it.

·        Isolation: No man is an island, but many people will insist on being alone and this will be their downfall. Isolation can be a growth enemy because it will make you incapable to do and achieve certain things. There are certain tasks that you should not do alone, and will be done better with the help of other people. If you isolate yourself from people, you are limiting yourself.

·        Guilt: Guilt is something you have to struggle with, after doing something wrong and it becomes a barrier for growth because there are times when your guilt will behave like an inner voice that will control you and keep you from doing the things that you have to do.

·        Perfectionism: A lot of people are true perfectionists and while this is not supposed to be something bad, when it gets out of control, it could become a hindrance. If nothing is good enough for you, then you give yourself such a small room to grow. Nothing is good enough because your standards are too high, and you end up constantly frustrated.

Dealing with Barriers

Barriers to self-growth can be damaging so you have to deal with them. You have to find a way to break free from whatever is hindering you so that you can move on and achieve something great for yourself.

Your Quest to Being a Complete Person

Your Quest to Being a Complete Person

It is not easy to appreciate life, most especially if things are not exactly going well for you. It is not easy to appreciate the good things, when you are constantly reminded of what you lack, what you do not have, and what you will never ever have. When you look at other people’s lives, do you often get envious of how they live, what they have accomplished and then look at yourself and think so lowly about yourself? One thing is for sure, you are not the only failure in this world and you should not be too hard on yourself. What you have to focus on is not the fact that you are not getting what you want in life, but how and what would you do, to be able to finally make things happen for you.

Looking at Things from a Different Perspective

If you are unhappy about your life, then you have to find a way to make things better for yourself. You will need to pinpoint certain things about yourself that needs improvement, and then you need to identify specific goals that you want to attain. You do this because you are tired of how your life is going. You do this because you want to be able to improve yourself, you want to gain freedom from failure, poverty and emotional catastrophe and you do this because you want to be happy. A lot of people try all kinds of silly things in an effort to bring happiness into their lives. They think that if they change their environment, they will be more satisfied. They fail to realize that the answer lies within them. If you want to be happy, you have to fix yourself from within, because everything else will just fall in place.

The Person You Ought to Be

If you are complete and stable inside, no amount of trouble and worry can get you down. That is why being mature and complete is important. A complete person is:

·        Strong and courageous. You have to be courageous enough to fight battles, even if you are emotionally, physically and mentally incapable of facing your opponents. At the same time, you have to be courageous enough to take risks, because you understand that there is promise when you allow your wings to spread.

·        Wise and objective. Always make decisions based on careful thought. When you are faced with a situation always attempt to make a sound decision by exploring all your options and looking at things in objectively.

·        Grateful and appreciative of things. You have to learn to embrace what you have and be grateful for both the good and the bad. You have to know how to appreciate people around you, for who they are and what they can do for you. You have to know how to appreciate opportunities that come, whatever they may be because by doing so you can take great advantage of them for your very gain. There is so much to be grateful for in this life. Wasting your time lamenting about your misfortunes will do you no good.

A complete person does not feel complete because he has money, power and fame. Rather, he feels complete because everything else is just an added bonus, life itself is a blessing to him.

Writing Your Self Development Plan

Writing Your Self Development Plan

If you are looking to improve your life, it is important that you formulate a formidable plan of attack. A plan makes things more certain, and when you write out a plan, you provide yourself with some guide, so you have something to refer to and follow. A plan is like a map or a blueprint; it directs the course of your journey. If you want to make a stronger claim over success and triumph, you will make sure to write a well-thought of plan.

Tips on Achieving Development

This is the truth: achieving some kind of transformation is not going to be easy. Many people try to change their lives but are not always triumphant. It is not easy to turn around and make definite changes but it needs to be done, if you are tired of your lowly existence.

Guaranteeing successful self-development cannot be done, but you can make things more certain when you do the following:

·        Learn to love yourself. Loving yourself is not easy but you need to learn how to do it. If you love yourself you will allow yourself to be on such a lowly state. You will fight for something that you know you deserve and you will do it because you do not want to accept what has become of your life.

·        Overcome your fears. Fears limit people. When people are overcome by their fears they become limited in action and thought. They are confined to such a low state and they cannot achieve anything good for themselves. Fear is crippling and ominous. It has made a lot of people stagnant and it has hindered them greatly, from achieving improvement.

·        Take small steps. Small steps may make the journey longer but when you take some steps you take sure steps forward to development and you avoid as many mistakes as you can. Bold steps are good but not a lot of people are able to do this, but taking small, sure steps is fine.

Your Plan

Follow these steps when you are writing your plan:

Step 1: Re-assess your life. Before you can make changes with your life, you need to find out more about your life first. You need to assess what is good and what is bad so you can enhance the great things and you can improve on the ones that need some altering. You cannot make changes if you are not fully aware of what is happening. Therefore, you need to be more in tune with your life.

Step 2: Dream about your perfect life. Now, after looking at your life you will need to dream about how you would like things to be, instead. You need to visualize success, as if you already have it within your reach. You have to think about it, like it is possible because if you cannot believe it, then how can others believe what you are trying to sell them?

Step 4: Get help where it is needed. Do not be afraid to ask help. You can find good life coaching and this can help you get better results. Asking help is not weakness nor cowardice. Asking for help is, in fact, an admirable trait because it shows that you are courageous and humble enough to admit deafeat.

Change Does Not Happen Overnight

It does not really matter what course you take, change does not happen overnight. So you need to accept the process. What you need is to have some kind of commitment. You need to be committed to see changes in your life, so that you will work hard to bring yourself to a higher place.

Struggles will come and obstacles will block your way to the finish line. Still, you have to believe that you can get there. You have to believe that you are not yet at the end of the line. You have to believe that you have a chance to make things happen, but you just need to be patient.

Writing Your Own Self-Help Book

Writing Your Own Self-Help Book

Have you ever read a self help book? A self-help book, is an instructional or motivational type of literature that is authored by a psychologist, a survivor or a type of expert. Many of the people who wrote these books, wrote them as a means to break free from their own situations. They write the book in retrospect of what has happened, and they take you through the journey that they took, in an effort to help you go through the same struggle.

You can write your own self help book, as well. Many say that writing one can be quite therapeutic. Like a journal, you narrate what you go through in terms of your mental, spiritual and emotional state, and you write it down so that when you come out triumphant, in the end, victory will taste so much sweeter, and it will be more meaningful because you can also touch other people with your story.

Steps to Follow

·        Set the mood and tone. What kind of book are you thinking of writing? Before you begin anything, you have to make sure to envision your finished product, before anything else, because this will be your goal. Think of how you are going to do this and plan well for it. Your book should have a theme and you should be consistent all throughout. Are you going to write in the first person point of view or are you going to do it in another way?

·        Write your outline. Now that you have planned about what to include in your book, you have to think of what you want to write. Your outline is going to be your template. So that you will not lose your flow, you have to plan ahead and think of how you are going to write the book, even before you start it. Make outline questions that you will answer as you write and make bullet points that you will tackle per chapter or section of your book.

·        Choose your title. After writing your outline, you have basically written your book already, so you can already pick a title. Make sure the title is apt for the book and make sure that it is catchy and relevant. You have to remember that you title is the first thing that people will encounter. You have to make sure that your title is good enough to capture your audience and keep them wanting more.

·        Write it by section. Writing a book does not always have to be written by chapter, although it is advised that you do it that way. You can write your book by sections, according to your outline. If you are not going to write them in order, it is okay, just jump to another section where you feel inspired to indulge.

You do not have to be a great writer to be able to write a self help book. This is not a compelling novel that needs to be gripping. A self-help book can be a thoughtful account of a person’s struggle and you can write solely by experience. You do not have to have the best writing skills, but you need to be able to inspire people to change their lives.

Writing Your Own Personal Development Plan

Writing Your Own Personal Development Plan

When a person decides to carry out a project, he or she takes on a very big responsibility. It does not matter if this is a personal, school or work project, people are going to be looking on to you, for the results, and you have to be able to deliver according to their expectations. When you carry out a task, it is normal for people to desire to do things right. To be able to ensure this, you will need to be able to write out a definite plan.

How to Write a Plan

When you write out a personal development plan, it is more than just sitting down to write your agenda for the day or making a simple to-do list. You have to understand that what you decide to do has the potential to change your life. When you are writing your plan, keep the following things in mind:

·        Know what you want to achieve. What is your desired end result? Ask yourself what it is that will make you happy and truly satisfied. You need to be able to identify your goals, in the first place, because it will determine the direction of the course that you have to take.

·        Write things down. Writing things down is not an excessive effort, like most people would say. You do not write things down because you want to be redundant. You are doing this for a simple reason: people have the tendency to forget things they say, and have to do. By writing things down you are setting things on “stone” and you can refer to your written plan, if you lose your way and go off track.

·        Find a mentor. A mentor is someone whom you admire and look up to, for the quality of life that he or she has kept, the kind of decisions he or she has made and the accomplishments he or she has achieved. A mentor is someone who has been where you are, now, with experiences powerful enough to inspire you and touch your lives.

·        Assign a time for your goals. You might think that you have a lot of time to waste but this is the first mistake that you will make. Time is of the essence and if you want to be more productive with your time, you have to try to assign certain time frame for everything you do, so that you do not waste precious minutes.

·        Always maintain a positive attitude. The road towards your destination will not be straight and smooth. You will encounter all kinds of things along the way, and you will have to learn to be strong enough to shrug all the negative energy out of your way. Try to picture yourself as a winner. Do not focus on failing because it will only bring you down. Instead, try to think that you have already won. Assume victory even if it is not yours yet, not because you are trying to be blind about what is real, but just because you want to show everyone that you refuse to be on the losing end of things.

Working with a Coach: Does It Work?

Working with a Coach: Does It Work?

When people find something wrong in their lives, they seek ways to make things better. While it is not easy for one to stand up and go against what is happening, it is even harder to just watch yourself waste away. Therefore, when you find something wrong about your life, if you think you cannot do anything significant on your own, then you should be noble enough to admit that you need help.

The Importance of a Coach

If you want a better life but you do not know how to make it happen, you can find someone who has experience on this, and use their expertise to be able to make a difference in your life. This is what a life coach does; he or she uses his professional training to be able to mould and turn a person’s life into something better.

There are different kinds of life coaching methods that you can choose to undertake, depending on your specific need:

·        You can hire a business coach who is someone who can guide you into turning your business into something that is highly profitable. This kind of mentoring will be very helpful, especially to those who are only starting out and are looking to gain a stronger stance, on their own.

·        You can have career coaching if you have noticed that your career life is not going in the direction that you’ve wanted. Maybe you are jumping from one job to another and not really finding the satisfaction you are looking for. Maybe you have been in a job too long, and you know you are not happy. If you are having problems finding happiness in your career, you can ask a coach to make things better for you.

·        You can think of hiring a life coach if you are having troubles with your personal life. Are you having problems with the relationships you keep? Do you often find yourself in all kinds of conflict with the people you deal with? Have you been told that you have some attitude problems? If you are having personal problems and you think that getting professional help will make a big difference, you can hire a life coach.

·        You can also think of getting executive coaching if you are an individual who is seeking to achieve great heights in your corporate career. If you are seeking a leadership position or you are already in one and you want to become a truly effective leader, you can hire a coach who can effectively show you the ropes. Leadership is an important role and good leadership can do so much for the world. If you want to make a difference in the workplace and to the people you work with, you will not think twice about seeking help.

When you hire a coach, just like sports coaching, you will see improvement in yourself. When you recognize the need for professional help you will realize that you can still achieve more, if only you are given the right instruction and direction.

What It Takes to Increase Your Self Worth

What It Takes to Increase Your Self Worth

Self worth encompasses a lot of things. It dictates how well or how badly you value your life. People who have a high level of self worth will relatively live better lives because they know they deserve it and they understand what they have to do, to be able to get it. They know they deserve it so they give themselves a chance to dream; they feel they need it so they do all they can to meet success in their lives. And since they understand what they have to do, they will stop at nothing until it is within their reach.

Do You Value Yourself?

Some people, sadly, think too low of themselves. Despite the great things in their lives, they convince themselves otherwise and they wallow in the bad and the frustrating. Those who crave on such a frustrating practice are the example of people who have very low self worth. They have such low regard for themselves that they do not think they deserve anything. They are not dreamers, because they think that dreams are only for children and they understand that they should accept their life as it is, and not complain. They are prone to quitting and they reject opportunities because they are so overcome by fear and insecurity. They quit because they would rather leave now that they are ahead, than to face rejection; and they say no to everything because they are quick to imagine themselves at their downfall. Are you this type of person?

Embracing Life and Accepting the Challenge

It may be a long process but it is possible to increase your self-worth. First of all, you just have to be willing and determined to achieve it. If the desire is real, you can make it happen. Here are some techniques you can use if you want to improve your self-worth:

·        Live a simple life. This may not make sense to you right now, but if you are really hungry for success, you should learn how to live simply. You do not have to be over complicated to be able to reach the top. Sometimes, you just have to do the right things.

·        Believe that you deserve it. They always say, if you can think it, then it is almost yours. If you do not allow yourself to think of success, therefore, then you will never ever get there. Think of success, like it is already yours. Do not limit yourself to the little things.

·        Recognize that you need help. If you are having trouble with anything, and you think that you have done all you can to try to remedy it, to no avail, stop for a while and get some help.

What You Need to Enhance Your Self Worth

Self worth is not understood by a lot of people, but if you want to have it, here are some things to help you.

·        You might not realize this first hand, but you should learn how to recognize between good and disabling beliefs. Some people are too overpowered by their beliefs that they are ruled by it. They do not realize that they are being limited by the said beliefs, so it is important for you to have a way to look at things, from a distance.

·        Embrace the positive. You have to know and understand how powerful negativism and positivism is. Negative thoughts have the ability to destroy dreams; but positive thoughts can invigorate even the weakest of people. Learn how to embrace the positive because this will do you good; and learn how to get rid of the other things.

What a Life Coach Can Do for You

What a Life Coach Can Do for You

There are different kinds of coaches. In sports, athletes have coaches and these people become their “teachers.” The job of a coach is to supervise an athlete’s training program, to make sure that he or she undergoes the necessary training and practice that will equip him or her for the battle ahead. As a coach, athletes entrust to a coach their whole career. They will look up to them for guidance; they will ask them for advice; and they will listen to them for suggestions. Sport coaches may not be similar to what they call life coaches, but their job is similar. As a coach, they are expected to guide, instruct and advice. Throughout the course of the relationship that is formed between an individual and his life coach, a friendship can arise. It is not uncommon for life coaches to become true friends with their clients because once trust is established, all else will fall into place.

Should You Get a Life Coach?

Perhaps you know someone who has a life coach. Maybe you have heard other people talking about their own experiences with life coaches and it has intrigued you. Life coaches can be truly beneficial, but you should, first, understand what a life coach could really do before you decide to subject yourself into it.

·        Forgiveness is not easily achieved. Some people harbor anger and hatred for years, and some people are even buried along with their hatreds in their hearts, when they die. If one day you realize you are ready to forgive but you do not know how to do it, a life coach can help you.

·        Do you have a dream that you want to accomplish? Some people remain constant dreamers, but since they are too weak to make their dreams come true, nothing happens to it. A life coach can help you make your dreams into realities.

·        If you are having trouble seeing things and doing something more significant with your life, you should realize that a life coach can provide a different perspective on things and he or she will help you assess your options to make sound decisions.

·        Life coaches are more than just guides. Like teachers, life coaches have the power to bring transformational change in your life. If you think that your life has no meaning, a life coach can help you turn things around.

Not for All

Sadly, despite the above-mentioned points, there are some people who are not good candidates for life coaching. If you are a person who is quick to reject instruction and you are easily annoyed by people trying to tell you what to do, you can spend years paying for expensive life coaches, but there is no way that you will ever succumb. When you decide to hire a life coach, you should be ready for everything. Like real coaches they can be quite bossy and they will tell you what to do. If you are not prepared for this, then perhaps a life coach is not what you need.
