Our Depressed Society

Ever since we were young, the imposed ideal on us is to "follow", follow this trend, follow this celebrity, follow in your parents footsteps. STOP. You are not a machine, you are an individual, so why are you making yourself as part of the crowd? You only have one shot at this beautiful creation we call life, we can interpret life whichever way we want, but I like to believe that if the universe has given you the chance to express your being in whichever way you choose, why not be the person who you really want to be? Illnesses such as depression are so common in the modern day, as the repressed feelings and thoughts of many individuals are rearing their ugly heads, this is causing split personalities for many of these people and is causing severe distress for many. 

I am not here to say that I have a cure for depression, but before you dig your own grave just consider a few topics - are you treating your body like the temple it is? Are you nourishing it the way it deserves? If the answer is no then there is one job to begin focusing on. Giving your body all of its natural nutrients is what allows our body to operate in optimum health, however if we fill our bodies full of junk and continue to consume toxic goods, then we are not making our chances better. Second of all - are you associating with the people you truly want to? This is an extremely common case and can not help matters, if you continue to associate yourself with energy vampires, expect to stay exactly where you were. These people surround you purely to suck the life out of you - these people should be avoided. Surround yourself with dreamers, with happy people, people who make you feel joyous to be alive, these are the real people.

Last of all, and one of the biggest pointers, are you living in the present moment? This is easier said than done at times and I can vouch that this can be hard sometimes, however living in the present moment will help relinquish a lot of the tense pain which you inflict on yourselves by living in the past and future. As soon as your attention gets brought back to the present moment, you realise that all the time you spent not in the present moment was wasted, and you will never get it back. However don't fear, you can return to the present moment whenever you choose to, and trust me people, the present moment is one beautiful thing.
