If you feel that you shy away from what you love or what usually gives you energy then it’s time to examine deeper as to why you are feeling that way.
Remember this – everything in life is fixable if you have the will to turn things around, and depression is one of them.
To be honest it took me about a couple of years to win over the battle by forcing myself to dive into activities that are energetic and surrounding myself with the great supportive people who are understanding and sensitive to my needs.
If you are willing to follow the steps that I took to gradually banish depressing thoughts one day at a time. It will be a challenge but loving yourself means to find ways to pursuit an endless happiness in your life and those around you.
Here is a cheat sheet with 25 activities that will help you crush your depression thoughts once and for all.
