Thinking too deep, however, is one of the worst things you can do to yourself. Instead, stop for a while and try to appreciate where you are now is essential. This helps you to not only feel happier and fight the depressive episode. It can also increase the quality of your life. Accept where you are now and how much it took you to get there. Understand what you have and learn to value it, but most importantly, remember that every end is a new beginning.

Fighting depression is an everyday battle. Finding the joy in your life is your main weapon against the disease. Try to banish the destructive thoughts that stop you from pursuing your goals. The more active and social you are, the easier it would be to move on and learn to enjoy the simple things in life and eventually peace of mind.

Try not to isolate yourself instead, search actively for the company of your friends and family. Watch a Television show, read a book. Engage in a hobby you once enjoyed even if you don’t feel like it initially. This will help you feel more in control of your life and re-ignite your spark.

Never punish yourself for feeling bad. Highs and lows are a normal part of every person’s life and, sometimes, feeling blue is inevitable. However, don’t succumb to the depression but instead fight it with laughter, smiles, friends and your belief in yourself. Inner peace is achievable.
It is hard to make ourselves stop and take a moment to acknowledge the things that are good right now but it is so essentially and beneficial to finding Joy.
Depression is real! You’re right, it may take many methods to prevent and cure this disease. Great methods! Thx for sharing.
I think it is important to enjoy what is around you. Happiness is available when and where you take it.
Debbie Denny, So true Pursuit of happiness is available.
Depression is no joke and the worse part about it is that people don’t even realize that they are depressed. Because of that fave it makes it very hard to focus on the the good things and such because mm most times you don’t even know that there is an issue.
Thanks for posting this. I will get down now and again and have to think about all the wonderful things I have in my life and how joyous I should be. My bible is my biggest boost during that time
Tammy, The word is powerful isn’t and a great boost as you said thanks for your support.
It’s not going to happen overnight and sometimes you have to remember that life can bring you down even in the midst of happiness. You have to say each morning you get up that I will be happy and find the good no matter what
Kita,
I am going to passed your motivational idea with my friends thanks for your support.
I actually just met a lady yesterday who said her friend’s son just killed himself and they were on there way to him. He was in another state. So very sad.
Holly,
Thank you for sharing your story.
Depression is the worst – whether it is the winter blues or a deep depression 🙁 Thanks for the tips!
Encouraging post for those who suffer from depression on the regular, and even those of us so have moments of feeling depressed from time to time.
Depression is a heck of a disease that makes the small things hard to enjoy. I battled with it after losing my mother and having my daughter. Both events happened within two months of each other and it made it hard to enjoy after I first had her.
Tiki,
Thanks for your honesty about depression continue to share your story.
Depression was part of our life. I am in the process of depression right now and it is really hard. This make me sick for a couple of days
Victoria, I understand, if you can find someone you trust to talk with or as a support to help you get through this difficult times. If it becomes so unbearable seek help but its important for you to know you are not alone.
Looking at the little blessings that you receive definitely helps. Even eating your favorite bowl of cereal can be something to look forward to. It’s really about how you see things that would help you cope with depression or sadness.
Elizabeth O, Thanks for your response I see it everyday things we take for granted a bowel of cereal makes the kids happy so true.
Depression is very serious problem and try to discuss with family, close friends or seek medical attention.
Rika, Glad you liked and thanks for your support.
I’ve been trying to appreciate where I am in life right now. Good or bad I need to trust the process and that is a tough lesson but I’m trying.
Mini“MimiCuteLips” Green, You will be all right!
These are great suggestions. Punishing yourself for feeling bad will not help at all. This will only make you feel worse about yourself. Think happy thoughts to fight the bad feelings.
Ourfamilyworld, Glad you like thanks for your support.
I am definitely at a point where I need to stop and appreciate where i am now and show gratitude. It is so easy to feel like you are falling behind so I am going to work on this seriously.
Thank you for sharing us this another great article, I agree happiness take time.
I love the advice not to isolate yourself. That’s very important to remember, it does help / do you good, to be out and about.
This is so true. Forcing yourself out of the funk and doing something you used to love to do is a great way to help pull yourself out of it.
Glad you like Stephanie.
It is so important to take the time and appreciate what you have and to enjoy it! Thank you for sharing such a great message.
I suffer from seasonal blues whenever the fall comes in… The best thing for me is to go into deep
meditation , exercise, and eat plenty of raw foods… This keeps me from laying down and wallowing in it. This seems to help me a lot. My dad and my aunt suffer from it too. My aunt needs medication for it. I am not really sure how my
Dad copes with it. I am sure his religion is a big part of it.
AishaAdams, I understand if it gets worse ask for help….Seasonal blues.
I agree, in order to be happy you have to look for the joy. I always try to be appreciative and look for the good.
It keeps you going. And in the end it all adds up to the bigger picture.

I agree with this. It does take time and patience and this apply in all aspect in life.
I feel down from time to time mainly because of goals I’ve failed to achieve. I just have to remember everything takes time. I think of the positive rather than the not so positive.
These are such important tips! Depression is so real, and I hate that there is still a stigma attached to it. I thank you for shedding so much light on this topic because it’s so important. I have a friend who suffers from it and she always tells me the importance of not allowing herself to stay in that emotion of feeling down.
