Combat Post Holiday Depression – SMILE

Combat Depression – Smile!

Here you are again at the end of another year, and guess what? It always ends up the same way for you. Once the event is over, you are depressed. The air has been left out of your balloon; you are down in the dumps… Viva passé.

The lead-up to your event you have planned so much for, given so much energy towards, and looked forward to for so long has finally arrived… and is over. All the preparation, the anxiety that everything will turn out right, that everyone will “get along”. Ha! All the energy you have poured into creating the perfect event has left you flat in the aftermath.

Depressed

So, now you are depressed. Are you just going to stay depressed? Or are you going to do something about it?

Initiative

One of the easiest ways to pull yourself out of the doldrums is to give yourself a task that you can really sink your teeth into. When was the last time you did anything different, or new?

Paradigms

Look at your life; the routine of the things you do each day, the types of people you are around, the beliefs and opinions you support. All of those limit you in what is referred to your “paradigm”. Your paradigm is your version of reality; your “matrix”. Most people do not do anything different from day to day.

Carpe Diem!

Seize the day!

Time is of the essence. Time is too short to stay depressed. Do something different. Don’t hesitate. Experience something new. Learn something you never knew before. Meet some new people. Start right now. Make a list of 10 things you would like to do, that you would not normally do. Pick 1 or 2 of them and get started.

Results of your actions

It will make you feel great! Once you start accomplishing your new directions, you will get a good feeling; a feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. A feeling of “I am Alive!” You will feel better about yourself and the world you live in. Be prepared to leave your depression behind.

Are You Depressed?

Too many decisions …

If you are like most people, you must make too many decisions every day of your life. You feel overwhelmed from all of your carefully considered decisions.

Scientists have proven that if we have any more than 7 things to choose from, we go into overload, so by the time we go through the grocery store, we are in meltdown. They have even connected this to Clinical Depression.

For example; I will take you on a tour of what you can expect for simple decision making, starting at the beginning of your day. (Obviously, this really isn’t you because you would never do these things this way.)

The alarm goes off. Do you set your alarm for a “snooze”, and for how long? Do you just lie there a while? Do you get up ready to take on the day? Or do you turn over and go back to sleep? That was 5 decisions, and you haven’t even made it out of bed.

You decide to get up and get dressed. You go to the closet full of clothes and declare, “I have nothing to wear.” After deciding on a matching top and bottom with socks and shoes, you toss them back and decide to wear the same thing you had on yesterday. There goes another 5 or more decisions. For some people this one act could amount to hundreds of decisions.

You finally decide that is a good time to have a wholesome breakfast instead of the same old breakfast you have every day. You begin by deciding what ingredients you want for your breakfast. You pull them all out and get ready, … Then you decide it will take too long. So you put it all back and sit down to your usual bowl of gruel that you are accustomed to. Another 5 or more decisions.

DON’T LAUGH! You may be this person.

What happens when your routine breaks down and forces you to make new decisions? What if you are on your way to work (Well, at least you made it out of the house without being half naked.), you get into the car; you turn the key, and … nothing. Now you are faced with a whole new handful of decisions to make. You must decide what to do about getting to work, fixing the car, and many other decisions about things that contribute to your circumstances.

Confusion! You Bet!

With all the things swirling around in your head, you will think you are walking around in a fog. YOU ARE! This is the mental fog that is created by needing to make too many decisions; and it further obscures your ability to make “clear” decisions.

Sorry for giving you depressing news about someone’s depressing day. You can just go back to bed and forget it all until you wake back up. (Ooops, it’s still there.) Or today, you can decide to be proactive in an effort to clear those cobwebs from your mind.

Here are some ways of doing just that:

Meditation
Mental exercises that strengthen your mind and gives you focus
Giving your brain new information that it is not accustomed to. This creates a type of growth and change called neural-plasticity.

If you are serious about helping yourself crawl out of the miasma you have created then you owe it to yourself to consider what ZOX Pro Training offers. You know you need to do something different. You owe it to yourself and those you care about. They are affected by your decisions too.

Remember: Anything you want to change or improve requires information you currently do not have. You need essential information fast. We have your solution.
