Want to overcome feeling depressed and numb?

The times are such that its easier to fall into the traps of depression - depression has reached its peak in spite of all our technological and material advancement - because we have failed to advance our inner-selves.

Depression is a very elusive emotion, it can hide itself very well, but ultimately feels like a weight pulling you down. Life no longer has a zeal or freedom or joy which it once had. There are still moments of joy even in depression but soon depression, numbness, emptiness takes over. Even if you have all the love, comforts and riches in the world, depression can still exist, its a numbness and emptiness to life.

Depression seems impossible to get out of, if ever you even recognise you are in depression at all! The emptiness seems like it will last forever. The emptiness is filled with other moments of anger, as you remember the relationship or the event which got you into this mess in the first place, and are just angry at that individual, God or even at the world.

Through this anger and this numbness we get a lot of comfort because we get to avoid any more pain, we get to play it safe and avoid taking any more risks, we get to feel a variety of emotions inside of us which keep us entertained, we get to feel some love from others that give pity to our situation which makes us feel significant and wanted. Because of all this safety, we get used to the depression and soon it becomes our habit. We become numb and stay numb for our whole lives. OUCH!

Well, if you're reading this and relate to this, it's time to break this cycle of depression and anger, and to start living a life of fulfilment, joy and satisfaction. In this VERY moment, you have a choice to drop the past, stand up tall and strong, tell yourself that you've had enough dose of feeling pity for yourself, its time to smile and remember the excitement you had when you were a child, it's time to take a risk again and not worry about its success or failure, it's time to regulate yourself and build yourself up, expand yourself and your mind to new possibilities.

Drop the past, let it go. Relate to it as if its just a story which happened, you've had enough of dwelling and sobbing over the emotion of it all. It's time to now create a beautiful new future, full of excitement and joy. So you made a few mistakes? Oh well, that's life isn't it? Life still goes on, we can just choose how it goes on. It does not have to go on in a depressed mood, it can go on in a joyful mood.

It's just a choice for you to make deeply, to snap out of it! Remember that you chose to be depressed (as harsh as that may sound, please contemplate the truth of this deeply), so it's equally your choice to snap out of it. It's in your hands to choose joy over depression. Remember who you are: you are love, you are joy, you are perfect. You need no other person to fill you up, you just need to remember that you are joy, and nobody can take this joy away from you because it IS YOU. It's natural for joy to spring from you like a fountain of water, because you are joy, you are love. Feel it! Really feel it in your heart! You are the SOURCE OF JOY AND LOVE ITSELF! WOW!!!

Now if you are joy, there's now a new set of possibilities that have suddenly awakened in you:

• You can create now a future of your liking
• You can forgive the people in your past who hurt you
• You can make the best of your life
• You can now enjoy your life
• You can paint your life with joy and love everywhere
