    When we are depressed, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, which makes the prospect of change too terrifying to pursue. I understand what it feels like when life seems to be fighting against you, as if everything is an uphill battle. But the solution is surprisingly simply. It’s compassion. Be compassionate toward yourself and toward others. It’s the most direct route I’ve found to happiness.

    The more compassionate I was with myself, the more action steps I was able to take. The more steps I took, the stronger and more mentally stable I became.

    As Virginia Woolf said, β€œYou cannot find peace by avoiding life.” I realized a large part of my depression was tied to the fact that I was avoiding my true calling, out of fear and a misguided allegiance to some cultural norm that said being a life coach and an author wasn’t “respectable.”

    I would never be able to break free if I didn’t allow myself to take more risks and be more courageous in following my heart. So I left my corporate job to live a life I was proud of, connected to, and in love with. And in the process, I left my depression behind.

    That is possible for anyone. But the process starts with knowing we aren’t alone. If you are feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious, know you are not alone in this world. I hope these reminders above (1-11) help you when you get discouraged.

    If there was such thing as an anxiety button, mine got stuck today. Been feeling somewhere between crying, passing out, and short of breath all day.

    Thank you for the lovely post <3

    Aingeal, Dina and Jane – I can relate and I was just talking to a colleague earlier and she said, it’s the moon that’s making everybody anxious/off/feeling down. I have to agree because I am also feeling the same. The full moon won’t always affect us in that way and usually does us good but sometimes the axis of the earth and it’s position and time of year, can do this to us.

    At least we can empower each other by being honest, open and comfortable about how we are feeling today.

    Watching this video just now, made me smile so much. It’s so beautiful! <3
