Stay Out Of The Electric Chair Of Depression

FIGHT DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY


Too many times I have been traveling in my Land Rovers eating the dust from the truck in front of me. For interminable hours of expeditionary travel, I have been living in a mobile dust storm from which there is no escape. People talk about the fog of war, and I understand what they are saying. When you are driving through massive clouds of dust on expeditions in the desert, you can't see where you are going, and the dust isn't going away any time soon.

The fog of depression and anxiety is like the fog of war. It's hard to see where you are going, and even if you could see, you might not know which way to head to escape. In those hard times, it's all to easy to get disoriented and to strap yourself into the electric chair of depression.


DON'T STRAP YOURSELF INTO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR OF DEPRESSION

Depression is your own personal torture chamber. You strap yourself into the electric chair of depression, and you turn on the current.

Your negative thoughts create jolt after jolt of negative emotion. Twisted and distorted thoughts burn themselves like hot pokers into your mind. You take a licking, and for a while, it seems like the watch of life stops ticking. It seems like time has stopped and your depression will last forever.

Days seem interminably long and nights seem like eternity. Depressed people lay on their beds at night, and time stands still. Each second seems like hours, and negative thoughts and emotions fill those hours with despair.

It's no wonder depressed people sometimes commit suicide. They are trapped in a world they hate, they torture themselves with twisted thoughts and depressing emotions, their misery seems to go on forever, and they see no way to escape.

ESCAPING FROM THE LAND OF DEPRESSION

In order to escape from the Land of Depression, you must break the laws that rule the land. This is one of the few times you have the privilege of flouting the law. In fact, breaking these laws is encouraged. There is no other way to escape.

You must no longer believe that you are what you feel. Instead, you turn the law around and say that the facts of life determine the feelings of life. You become an expert at ferreting out the facts and making sure that your feelings are consistent with them. If the feelings aren't right, you ignore your feelings and go with the facts until your feelings change.

You must no longer believe that your emotions are correct just because they feel so real. The intensity of the emotion has nothing to do with whether the emotion reflects the way things are in the world. Emotions are transient, and therefore, they change. They no more reflect the facts of life than shadows from the clouds in the sky control the sun that creates them. The shadow of emotion must not control your life.

You must no longer believe that your twisted and distorted thoughts accurately reflect who you are or the world in which you live. Twisted thinking is an anomaly of a dysfunctional mind, and it has nothing to do with reality; it's a distortion of reality. You must learn to distrust the twisted thoughts echoing in your mind. You must put a name on those thoughts and reject them for the imposters they are.

That's the job you have ahead of you. You must break the laws that rule the Land of Depression. If you become good at breaking those laws, you can say good-by to the negative and depressing thoughts that have made your life into a nightmare.

BREAKING THE BACK OF DEPRESSION

Cognitive therapy gives you the power to break the back of depression by eliminating the twisted thinking that creates your distorted emotions. But getting rid of your cognitive distortions isn't enough. You need to go to the next level, a much higher level where there is no limit to how good your life can become. That next level can only happen if you install a positive operating system into your mind. Simply getting rid of your negative thoughts does not automatically make you positive. Getting rid of the negative only gets you half way to where you want to go. You must install a positive operating system if you want to reach the next level and become a positive person. It's not enough to stop being negative. You need to become a positive person.

You don't need a PhD in psychology or thousands of hours of therapy to win the battle against depression and to move up to the next level. But you do need to learn some basic facts. You also need an uncomplicated strategy that is easy to use. Finally, you need power. When you know the facts, have an effective strategy, and real power, the odds shift in your favor, and there is a high probability you will win this battle. It's going to be a dogfight, but it's a fight you can win.

You have a choice. You can allow negative thinking and depression to rule your life, or you can reestablish command and control over your thoughts and push your mind in a positive direction.

If you are serious about winning the battle for a positive mind, visit the University of Depression and Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking.

It's up to you. If you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.

Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book

Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with personal behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but human behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab for treatment. They simply arrived at a point in their life where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They had experienced enough misery to last ten lifetimes, and they said no more. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do with their life, and they became a different person who was chemical free. I am grateful to those patients, because they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that people in the worst circumstances can and do change. Because of them, I am committed to helping people change their lives one belief at a time using positve self-talk. Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Gold Book

Mark Twain wrote, “Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing though one’s head.” Mark Twain was right. Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It’s the storm of thoughts about those events that controls our lives. Surviving the storm of thoughts is how we spend most of our time. No matter what we do, the storm still blows, and to a significant degree shapes our lives. Surviving the storm is something we do every day all day long. An entourage of thoughts accompanies each event in our lives. Those thoughts can be positive, negative, or most likely, something in between. Those thoughts are the battleground where we come to our agreement with life. Those thoughts define who we are and what we can do. You need to learn how to control the storm of thoughts blowing through your mind. Positive Self-Talk Gold Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Silver Book

You can change who you are by changing what you say when you talk to your mind. Just be sure you are speaking a language your mind understands. Your brain speaks to you in its own language, and if you speak to it in the same way, it immediately responds in a powerful fashion. That’s why change proceeds most rapidly when you talk to yourself using the language of the mind. If you don’t speak the language of the mind, you may as well stop talking until you learn it. The three most powerful components of the language of the mind are images, sounds, and emotions. When my brain wants to get my attention, it does not send a text or an email. It blows me away with sights, sounds, and emotions. If you want to get your brain’s attention, you need to do the same thing. Send a message full of sights, sounds, and emotions. Start speaking the language that your mind understands. Positive Self-Talk Silver Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Purple Book

Living small serves no great purpose. Living as if you are a great person is a powerful idea that changes lives, and those who take it seriously change their world. Living as if you are great means you live as if your dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. You act as if you cannot fail. In order to live as if you are great, you have to think the way great people think, talk the way great people talk, and act the way great people act. Great people think, talk, and act their dreams into existence. If you ever become great, it will be because you think great thoughts, repeat great self-talk, have great expectations, and act as if you cannot fail. Some people wrongly believe that change is impossible. Leopards don't change their spots, and zebra stripes are forever. But people are different. People change their stars. They change their stripes, and their spots disappear in an instant of time. That instant happens the moment they develop positive expectations and believe they have the power to change. Positive self-talk and positive expectations can take you anywhere you want to go. Positive Self-Talk Purple Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
