Dear Depressed,

First, let’s get to the ROOT CAUSE … because that is where everything starts … let’s address it, figure it out —like the most amazing puzzle of your life—— what makes you tick, tock, bleed, rock, smile?????? What caused the depression? Do you know? Were you able to pull the curtains back to reveal what it was?

It seems that you are out of this period where you said you were depressed. It sounds like you hit an all-time low in your life and that was surprising to you.

Why not reframe this special time of your life? Rather than beat yourself up for this time, why not make friends with this time? Can you call the GREAT DEPRESSION the GREAT DISCOVERY instead —- it’s true you were depressed, but out of the hole, cave, darkness, you have emerged with so much INSIGHT and MIRACLE BLESSINGS that you are over and beyond GRATEFUL.

Thank you God for that amazing time in my life where I was able to see the difference between pessimism and optimism, between darkness and light, between lack of appreciation and gratitude, between struggle & strife and ease & effortlessness.

I am now choosing the light, optimism, easy & effortless & joyous, and appreciating every single moment of my life. The challenging times are teaching me to be strong, empowered, confident. The hurdles are there for me to leap over and to find a way to not just leap, but soar. 

These could be your daily confessions – day by day, moment by moment, step by step, you can turn it around, and you will see that “dark period” as a revelatory time—one in which you were asked to choose: life or death.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Let go of knowing for now. But ask for the truth to be revealed.

Can you start journaling every single day these things:

-WHAT AM I GRATEFUL FOR TODAY?

-WHAT DID I LEARN TODAY?

-WHAT WAS CHALLENGING TODAY? HOW DID I APPROACH IT? HOW DID I THINK ABOUT IT?

-DID I FEEL DOWNWARD ENERGY? DID I FEEL NEGATIVE, PESSIMISTIC, DOWN? WHY?

-WHAT IN MY THOUGHTS IS CREATING THIS REALITY? POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?

-THANK YOU GOD for revealing to me the truth about everything that is going on that can better serve me. Thank you for helping me to let go of having to know everything. I trust that everything is working out for the highest good. I trust that all the doors are flinging wide open for me to walk into my joy and happiness, and the doors that are supposed to close are closing. I trust in the most positive outcome manifesting in my life.

As you continue to confess what you are creating, desiring, you will become a magnet for that which you desire.

This is how you self-actualize to become the best YOU that you were born to be.

Without nurturing and cultivating a relationship with the most important person in your life—-YOU YOU YOU —— there is no OTHER. Then, you are spending your life dedicated to others’ causes and journeys, and not creating your own journey.

So the greatest journey is getting to know YOU YOU YOU —- special YOU. Spending special time with YOU, then you will have the energy to give away to those you love and causes you believe in. But without first understanding, cultivating, nurturing YOU, then you are left depleted on all accounts-physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally.

You don’t have to face the mountain of lots of STUFF alone or all at once. Just one, just one, just one. Tackle just one at a time as it presents itself, like a puzzle. You don’t grab all the pieces of the puzzle and figure it out like that. You take one puzzle piece at a time to decide where it belongs. Use this puzzle metaphor for piecing together the TruthLoveMeaningPurpose of your life.

You are the treasure indeed that most needs to be cherished.
