Depression: What Are The Signs Of Depression? Your Purpose, Your Soul’s Purpose And How To Beat Depression

Depression: What Are The Signs Of Depression? Your Purpose, Your Soul’s Purpose And How To Beat Depression

For most of my life I was depressed. My mother was depressed. I had a hard time going to bed and I had a hard time getting up. It took me a lot of coffee to get going. I felt heavy, sluggish, and life was an effort.

Depression is widespread, and hard to treat.

In most cases, the treatment is a tradeoff: you may get more mojo in your head but lose it down there, for example.

Looking at it as an empath, where I know more about your depression than you do, because I am not effected (especially if I can figure out that it is not mine!) and I can watch objectively what’s going on.

Now, this is not a dissertation that can cover all types of depression. Instead it will cover the most common. I am exposed to it every day, and I am getting more and more pieces of the puzzle.

Now that You don’t have to be perfect, You can be good… and alive

The best present I can give you is this

“Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good,” says a character in John Steinbeck’s novel *East of Eden.* I suggest that you make this your rallying cry. In fact, why not begin right now, wherever you are? Say “Now that I don’t have to be perfect, I can be good.” Free yourself of the pressure to be the polished, ultimate embodiment of everything you’d ever hoped you would be. That will allow you to relax into being more content with the intriguing creation you have already become. You may be surprised by how much mojo this affords you.
Most procrastination is caused by the strong urge to ONLY do things that you can do perfectly, like watching TV, eating ice cream, sleeping…

My most influential teachers teach new expectations

My most influential teachers teach new expectations through invalidating the ones that create a life of misery.
Ben Settle is one of those teachers.

I subscribed to his newsletter and then quit it after a year or two. Why? because for a time he was more interested in world building and world domination than what concerned me more: a healthy business that served me. And he was more political than I could stomach… so I quit.

I had benefited from my subscription… How? I managed to double my monthly income and at the same time reduced the amount of work it took. I also doubled my self-respect… hm.

face the tiger

In an article, I write the whole idea of “facing the tiger” but here it is again:
Behavioral scientists were visiting this village in India. They wanted to find out how living next to the forest of the great white tigers effected the dreams of the children of the village.

The great white tiger, whenever it got hungry, visited the village and took a child.

This is what they found:

The little children, between three and 6, dreamed about hiding from the tiger.
Children between age 6-10 dreamed about outwitting the tiger
Children 10-14 dreamed about outrunning the tiger
Children over 14 dreamed about facing the tiger.

As you see, as they matured they took a more and more courageous position.

Your case, your issue, your problems are your tigers.
Your relationship to your tiger indicates your maturity, and your ability to be successful, happy, peaceful, and content in life. Find your tiger and face it.

Side Effects: Mr.T, Gopal, Source Energy by the Tangerine Method: if the energy is strong, there will be side effects

I was on a call with Gopal and Gopal blasted me… I don’t know how other people got it, but it whacked me. Thank you Gopal.

The areas it hit were ego and my stomach area…

Why was the little girl acting out?

Disappointment is when you get something you didn’t expect.

I expected the readers to be here to get something, and not to give. And they didn’t disappoint.
I expected people to not see beyond their noses and they didn’t… but still, kudos to the ten brave souls that forced themselves to think something.

It was hard, wasn’t it? Now I am talking to those ten.

What would happen if you did this every day? You’ll start to build some serious muscle in problem solving, and by the time you actually need those muscles, you would have them.

I promised, you delivered, so I must tell you what happened next in that story.

You know that I blasted the little girl… and I did. I was like you: stopped on the surface.

But then: I didn’t sleep well. I woke up with a question:

What gives away your worldview… to yourself?

You may think that procrastination is reserved for lesser people like you, but you would be mistaken.

I have been observing this famous dude procrastinating, waiting, and not doing much for the past year or so…

He is a well-known public speaker, highly effective coach who has made many people very very rich.

Consciousness Engineering or how to tweak your self and your mind to change your life

MindValley Academy has 100 teachers, and is owned by Vishen Lakhiani.

Their newest program is Consciousness Engineering, and this is a class I am signing up for, myself. Is it because I am sure it will help everyone? It could. Honestly, no matter where you are on the vibrational scale, this class can help you, if you are willing.

Vishen Lakhiani’s vibration is 200. He is intense, he is driven, he is live wire. But he knows a thing or two about consciousness tweaks, and I am not ashamed to learn from him, I am sure he can teach me a thing or two.

Helicopter Ride, Turning Crap To Gold, Following A Guru

 I have been wondering what makes someone pick a certain guru, what capacity, what characteristics… This is the transcript of an audio of a conversation I had with Nancy, my brainstorming buddy… Listening to it is like going on a scenic helicopter ride… Enjoy

I just had one of the most intriguing conversations with my friend, Nancy.
