If you have ever been fighting depression, how many times has a friend or colleague told you to snap
out of it and thought they were solving the problem. Well depression isn’t like that. It is a deeply rooted
problem that will not be cured overnight with some simple advice from someone that is not dealing with
your real feelings. But that is to say that a solution to depression can be improved with the way you
think and live your daily life.
Positive Thinking
Negative thinking can play such an overwhelming feeling in being depressed. One of the natural remedy
for depression is positive thought. I know from personal experiences that negative thoughts can be hard
to shake off. They are sometimes constantly there in your mind making me feel depressed. Gradually it
the feelings get worse until you are eventually consumed with negative thinking. This will happen from
the moment you wake, to when it is time to sleep at night. And you can’t sleep because you are
depressed. When you can’t sleep you get tired. Tired and depressed. Even worse, it is a vicious cycle to
be in. Everything that happens during your day becomes depressing and you always look for the
negatives of everything around you. It is almost impossible to see any of the positives.
Medication may be the answer for a person that is diagnosed with say, a chemical imbalance, but the
power of thought can be very strong if you practice positive thinking. But it’s a lot more than just telling
yourself to snap out of it. Rest assured there will still be plenty of bad days. You need to tell yourself to
have less bad days and more of the good ones. The more you reinforce this by telling yourself you will
be surprised at the results. Positive thought is a very powerful natural remedy for depression.
Gratatude
Gratitude is something that most people forget in their lives and it is all part of positive thinking. Try
this. The first thing that you think about when you wake in the morning and your last thoughts when
you go to bed at night should be about all the good things that have happened to you this day and every
other. Think about the compliments that you have received by others and all of your achievements past
and present. Think about what you have gained in life already.
If it helps maybey write down all of these things and keep a copy beside your bed to use as a reminder.
Keep adding to it when something positive happens to you.
We sometimes forget what we already have and become very ungrateful. Giving gratitude to what we
already have is a great way the think positively and it is a good natural remedy for depression.
Exercise
Start to exercise, even if it is a casual walk. Exercise can be a great natural remedy for depression. The
only downside is that when you are in a state of depression you don't feel like you have the energy to
exercise. You have to push yourself and although it will be hard to start, once you begin you will find the
energy. The more strenuous the exercise the better you will feel.
Diet
Lastly, eat the best food you can find. Get rid of the fast food and junk food. Have a good diet including
lots of fruit and vegetables. You might be very surprised at how much better you will feel in a short
space of time and how much more energy you will have. Good food in small portions is another natural
remedy for depression.
