DEPRESSION

Discourage? Sadness? Disappointed? Hopeless? Empty?

Those are feelings that we encounter in our daily lives which will be the origin of every depression that we may not nor might face.

It is like at the end of the day you are still completely feel nothing but loneliness.

You bond  with many people but after that you feel incomplete.

It is not easy to feel empty after doing so many thing to distract yourself from being depressed but at the end of the day when you are by yourself you will know it is still so sad.

You are in you room again but instead of peacefully sleeping you are sitting at the edge of the bed thinking about being incomplete despite of the laughters  you shower during daytime.

Losing interest on something you like because you know at the end of the day you will embrace the loneliness of being alone even though you are surrounded with good people.

Just completely staring at the blank wall and thinking about how come I am sad?

In the dark room where light was entirely became gloomy just like a sunny day into stormy day.

All day you only have your phone beside you, surfing in the Internet finding something that will satisfy yourself on the things that you wanted to see to feel okay.

You cannot tell eventually that you are having a depression because it is a silent killer. It will target you to be hopeless that you cannot do anything but only watch how things goes round and round.

Tears surprisingly falls without reasons but surely it is not a meaningless teardrops. Every drops shouts for a word help!

It will make you feel numb in every emotional situation but the only thing you know is that the sadness eats you which will leads you into being hopeless.

We  are the one who can avoid the feeling that we might feel during depression stage because being strong enough means you can fight against the depression.

Depression is known as mood disorder. It simply described as feeling of sadness, loss, hopeless, or discourage that interfere someone’s activity in day to day cases.

Understanding the fact that being discourage, sad, disappointed, or loneliness is normal and it is part of our lives. We experience those things because we are trying to do things that will keep us in moving forward and be productive in some instances.

This is also a mental health problem that is very relevant with the youth and it is not given enough attention to focus in thins problem because many people think this is just nothing. The mindset that they’ve create will affect the judgment that they will be going to act. Depression is considered a serious medical condition that can get worse without proper treatment and this mental health problem must be given an attention and enough time to access everyone. Symptoms may also be ongoing, or come and go. The feeling that someone might encountered is like temporary but it will bring back the same feeling that you want to avoid because those emotions you feel is out of nowhere and the cause is not very present why you feel the numbness.

If this depression will stay long it will surely affect your daily life and give negative impact in everything that you will do. It is like ghosting that will be there for you for a mean time and then suddenly it’s gone and after time passed by it is back again with the same feelings.

WEEK 2 ENTRY

CONTENTMENT

MAKE YOUR SOUL CONTENTED

“Being contented ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought to not mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position” – Gilbert K. Chesterton

Through that quote some people assumed contentment as negative. Human as we are always put in our mind that striving to better or best is the acceptable choice in life that never feel content but strive to grow.

Never settle for the less.

Contentment is simply being satisfies with what you have, where you are or who you are. Being contented means you’re happy with you current state.
A feeling of fulfillment with your situation and don’t need or want anything in order to maintain the level of happiness.

However, being contented is not about being stuck forever on things that you are holding all this time. It can be a feeling of okay I achieved it, I fulfilled my goals or having enough of everything that you have.

In short appreciating the things that you’ve reach is also a contentment.

There is nothing wrong of striving for the best or in short being ambitious, high standard or wanting more than you have in life but you cannot get all you want. You only get those things that you’ve worked hard and if it is meant for you.

Sometimes contentment is not just about being happy but also is it about acceptance.

If it seems to be difficult to identify if you are contented or not here are 5 steps that will guide your way from stepping into the unknown

Here are some tips to be contented

APPRECIATING SMALL THINGS

Try to look into the small things that you have and remember the impact of those things to your life. Surely you will realize that no matter how little you have, it is more than the less as long as it gives you happiness and satisfaction.

If you saw a painting of a garden in a canvas most of the people will noticed the beautiful and colorful flowers than the common green grasses and brown pots. And remember without those small details those huge things that you’ve appreciate more will not stand out or exist.

Focus on the small things until you recognized the value of the simple things, and you’ll realize most of them does not cost expensive or just for free.

People struggle because they are looking into things that they don’t have.

Be Grateful.
Try practicing gratefulness by learning to enjoy and appreciate small things on what you already have.

DO THINGS THAT YOU LOVE

You can easily find the happiness and contentment on the things if you love what you are doing. Try to avoid of being stuck in activities because you will find it boring.

Try to get out from your comfort zone and look into the things that will make you happy. Might as well do things that you enjoy the most because it is surely the things that you love and through that you will feel the contentment.

It will boost your self-esteem and become motivated by doing the things that you love because it will give you a satisfying result.

Anyway, why spending too much time in things that does not satisfy or gives you fulfillment?
Remember, choose to do things that you love.

ACCEPT YOURSELF

It is the one of the things that you need to put first. You can do all things if you know yourself.

If you know what you really want and what are those things that will give fulfillment n your heart.

BE POSITIVE

It is normal to struggle in life but make sure to look into the positive side than looking into the negative side.

Sometimes it is our mind who creates a negative, because being negative is created by our thoughts so why not create a positive thoughts.

Look into something that will give you light which will guide your journey in life.

“You are walking in the dimmed light street at night and stop at the edge of the bridge and look into the majestic creation of God that lights and shine in the night.

It is already February but the cold breezes under your spine with the soft sound of the flowing river touching your ears.

and then you smile looking at the night view”

It is a quality of living by appreciating every small things that you might encounter in you day to day basis

Happiness is a choice.

Choose to be happy.

Seek for your happiness.

HERE ARE ATLEAST TOP THREE DAILY ACTION TO FIND HAPPINESS

First, Choose to be happy

You are the one who will make a choice it is not other people who will tell you what to do.
It is your own choice to be happy.
The most important thing in life is about you choosing happiness in every circumstance because a time passes you will realized that not all days is a brand new day that will put a smile in your lovely face.

There are days which will give you headaches or heartaches that somehow make you search for happiness to be able to atleast smile for short period of time.

Second, Develop healthy habits

You want to see him to complete your day.

But.

What is love?

Is it really just a strong feeling of affection towards someone?
How do you know if the “ I Love You” speaks from the heart?

Love is also a strong feeling of protectiveness, warmth and respect for another person. Love can also apple to non-human. You can easily say you love something but it is hard to say it to the person that make your heart beats so fast.

Love is dramatic.

There will be two outcomes of loving a person romantically; permanent and fleeting.

It is permanent in terms of finding the right person simply the love that you are looking for will stay with you as long as both of you want to keep it.
