As part of a series of posts on suggestions, hacks of things We CAN Do to help ourselves when we are depressed. Things that may actually help us. Shared in honor of an old dear friend who passed away, I offer these for your toolbox.

DEPRESSION TIPS #2

Clean something. Doesn’t have to be anything big. 10-15 minutes. Organize 1 drawer of a desk. Wash 5 dirty dishes. Do 1 load of laundry. Scrub the bathroom sink. Vacuum.

Blast some music. Listen to something upbeat, dance-y and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. Sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both. Sing & dance like nobody’s watching.

Make some food. Don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. Take the time to make food. Even if it’s simple and quick, like ramen, add something special to it, like a soft-boiled egg, meat or some veggies. Prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.

* In case nobody has told you today – you are awesome, worthy and deserving. So, please start a new habit today of being compassionate, kind and patient with yourself. You are the only you we have, so be nice to you. We love you’re here on the planet with us

For so many of us, there have been many moments over the last years that have caused great anxiety, depression, panic attacks and more.

No matter what has caused any of us to feel like there is no way out or no way to transform our stressors… No matter where you are or who you are, we can all use some help from time-to-time.

There is no shame in reaching out for help. Yet somehow, it is one of the hardest things we humans can wrap our minds around to do… admit we need help… admit we aren’t perfect, when inside most of us are chock full of doubts, insecurities and fears.

Some of the hallmark traits of depression for a lot of people is the desire to isolate, to turn inward on ourselves, to stop doing things, like eating healthy, enjoying a show or book, often falling into old bad behaviors, forgetting the hacks known to help us feel better.

When we most need to be with, sit with, talk with someone, we back away from the love and support of those who care about us. That invisible wall separating us, gets to be a huge chasm too hard to cross over to the help we need.

I am starting this series of suggestions, tips of things We CAN Do to help ourselves when we are depressed. Things that may actually help.

In honor of a longtime friend who decided last week he couldn’t remain on earth with us anymore. I’d known this man since 1986. We’d seen each other thru lots of life’s ups and downs. We had fun and adventures enjoying the many opportunities in SoCal for fun and adventures.

None of us had a clue to the depth of his depression. In fact, the last couple months he seemed to be moving forward, adding up the baby steps to feel more in control of his future and income…

Please, if you feel you are a danger to yourself or others, please reach out to someone you know & trust, get online or call the hotline to speak to someone who cares.

*** What tricks, hacks and practices do you use to re-regulate yourself?
I’d love to learn more suggestions.
Every tool we can add to our personal toolbox of life hacks is wonderfully worthy.

DEPRESSION TIPS #1

a. Shower. Not a bath, a shower. Use water as hot or cold as you like. You don’t even need to wash. Just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. Sit on the floor, if you gotta. As the water drains away, think of problems draining away, too.

b. Moisturize everything. Use whatever lotion you like.
c. Put on clean, comfortable clothes you loved being in.

d. Drink cold water. Use ice. If you want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost. Or drink a nice soothing hot beverage, like coffee, tea or warm water with lemon, maybe.

> If you can’t bring yourself to call, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. Even if you don’t say much, listen to them. It helps. (You can always call/text/message me.)

These may seem small or silly to some, but this list keeps people alive. Often, it’s the littlest things in life that can make or break us.

We can learn to focus on more positivity with practice to build neural pathways away from being the automatic negative seeking machines we are hardwired to be for our own survival.

* At your absolute best you won’t be good enough for the wrong people. At your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right ones. Remember that.

* In case nobody has told you today – you are worthy, deserving and enough. You were born enough. You have always been enough. You will always be enough. You are a work in progress.

You are worth your weight in gold, so please start a new habit today of being compassionate, kind and patient with yourself. You are the only you we have, so be nice to you. We love you’re here on the planet with us.

You can choose to quit smoking ...

I have a Sweet Surprise - I can quite happily report I Quit Smoking ci******es 15 months ago now!!

As amazing a statement as that is for the "old me," the bigger news is I haven't cheated once! YAY4Me

- I was determined to get there after decades of stops & starts, like a freaking yo-yo.
- My son nagged me regularly.
- I hated the taste, smell & mess of it.
- I did so many things to break the habit: patches, pills, gums, candy, meditation, acupuncture, and probably more.
- I'd come to a place where I thought I was doomed to smoke till my potentially early grave.

Then along came Rapid Transformational Therapy, RTT, the hybrid hypnotherapy technique.

Since I was raised in the era of everybody smoked and everybody drank - at all times (!) - good times, bad times, celebrations, funerals, stresses, vacations, etc. Anytime was time to smoke or drink alcohol.

Smoking was hooked into so many sides of me, I confess it took 3 RTT sessions to fully release and let go of all the roots to the nasty old habit that didn't serve me anymore. (A great many personal issues can be helped in just 1 session, typically no more than 3 sessions. I fit right into that, didn't I? LOL)

15 months from the first session to the day I finally said "no more" to ci******es.

I celebrated every month's anniversary for the first 6+ mos! Then life took over, and I realized it had been over a year!

Now, I have no desire to, no pull, no thought to... I absolutely can stand near someone smoking and have no want for one at all.

All that money spent at a pack a day is now available for other things that support a healthier & happier me.

HALLELUJAH!!!
