Depression is a sign that you need to change your lifestyle

How to get over Depression

1.   Do Yoga and more Yoga. It is the Best Antidepressant with no side effects. I am speaking through experience. Whenever I feel lethargic and down, a little yoga quickly brings me to high spirits.

2.  Laugh and laugh until laugh comes out naturally. Look at yourself in the mirror and laugh. Initially you will have to force yourself to laugh. Keep laughing and one day laugh will come out easily from the core of your being. For me, it happened on the fifth day when I was about to give up. Since then I have been able to laugh like a kid and laugh for no reason.

3.  Let go of attachment because nothing is permanent. It is difficult and painful but it is the only way we can grow and find happiness again. A deep understanding of impermanence is the key.

4. Take a shower and cry your heart out. Tears are a gift given to us to release negative emotions and free ourselves of sadness. A good cry under the shower will wash away most of the pains you have been carrying in your heart and make you feel much much lighter.

5.  Feel good and smile often even if you don’t feel like smiling. Research says that smiling can trick your brain into believing you’re happy which can then spur actual feelings of happiness. So fake it till you make it.

6.  Promise to love yourself and DO IT. Self- love is the Road to Recovery. Leave aside all the conditioning and start loving yourself. You need you more than you need anyone else.

Repeat this for 10 days and you will come out a new being with new life.

Have you taken the Mirror Test?

Can you look deep into your eyes and say “I love you”

Can you keep gazing at yourself without feeling uncomfortable?

Can you accept your imperfections and say “I still love you”

Can you look at your body and promise yourself “I love you and I will do my best to look after you”

Can you forgive yourself for all the mistakes you have made in your life?

If you can, great! You are either healed or on the path to healing. If not, this is how you are going to heal yourself and become whole and complete. SELF-LOVE.

When we don’t love ourselves, we feel empty as if there is no purpose in life. We beg others for love , seek approval of others to feel valued, we look for company or other distractions to keep ourselves occupied. We suffer from loneliness and keep searching for the “perfect one” to complete us. In fact, we are bored of our own company. Caught in this illusion, we repeat cycle after cycle in search of happiness and end up feeling frustrated and disillusioned.

If you can identify this “pattern” it’s time to step out of the cycle and start loving yourself, accept yourself with all your imperfections, weirdness and craziness. Self-love is the “Road to Recovery”, to heal all the emotional wounds, to know our worthiness, realize the divine beings that we are and reclaim the power back.

Self-love is not selfish. It is sharing the same love and compassion that we have for others with our own selves too. If we cannot love ourselves, how on earth can we love others?   

Note to Self : Clinging is NOT love.

Self Love

Self- love is compassionate. It is never selfish.

Self-love is a prerequisite for unconditional love  and  expand in consciousness.

Unconditional love begins with Self-love.

It is the Road to Recovery.

When we don’t love ourselves, we become “beggars of love” and live our entire life in misery. Self- love makes us feel so complete that we are able to share love with other beings without “clinging” to them. Clinging suffocates one or both persons.

The more we love and accept ourselves unconditionally, more we are able to do the same for others too.

Love is no longer a need but a Joy to share.

Note to Self:  Self-love is not to be confused with egoistic love which lacks compassion.

Stillness happens with Oneness

Stillness happens with Oneness

be it Nature, Art, Music, God or the Beloved

whatever that stills the mind,

and leads us to experience oneness

is pure Bliss.

Spiritual Love

Attachment and Dependency are mistakenly perceived as Love.

The truth is that Love has NOTHING to do with the other.

Love is a state of being.

Love flows freely and unconditionally,

helping the other to GROW SPIRITUALLY

to become the best version of themselves.

Attitude of Gratitude

Gratitude is such a beautiful feeling. When we entertain gratitude in our hearts, we raise our vibrations.

When we take a step further and “express gratitude in words”  ( words are energy ) our vibes rise even higher.

When we are overwhelmed with gratitude to the point of tears, we attract “Miracles”.
