Anxiety and Depression
Impatience is a sign of anxiety. Anxiety is the need to control. Control is a sign of fear. Fear is a sign of not having surrendered to love. Love is everything. God is love. ~ Anonymous
Anxiety and depression often feel like battles we cannot win—but they can be managed naturally.
While antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications may provide short-term relief, they can come with side effects such as jitteriness, insomnia, nausea, weight gain, or decreased sexual desire. Research even shows that people using antidepressants are more likely to relapse than those who do not. [i]
The key to true emotional well-being is energy flow. Energy is always in motion, but when it becomes stagnant, we may experience depression. Keeping your energy moving—physically, mentally, and spiritually—helps maintain balance and joy.
Anxiety and depression may also indicate low-vibration energies influencing your mind. Practices such as reciting positive decrees, or spending 3–5 minutes in gratitude can raise your vibration and protect your energy. (See Appendix.)
Service to others is another powerful way to release depression. Shifting your focus from “me” to “we” aligns you with the flow of life, leaving less room for negative emotions to take hold.
Finally, cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help dispel anxiety and depression. Spend a few minutes each day giving thanks to God, which can shift your perspective, lift your spirit, and help you see the blessings in life.
Make time for yourself, nurture your inner beauty, and find joy in everyday life. When you align with love, energy, and gratitude, you create a path to emotional and spiritual well-being.
Dealing with Anxiety and Depression
How to prevent an anxiety attack:
1. Breathe Deeply
Take 3–4 deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
2. Ground Yourself Using the Five Senses
Bring your focus to the present moment by identifying:
5 things you can see
4 things you can hear
3 things you can touch
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
This process, called grounding, helps when you feel lost in your thoughts or out of control. You can also thump your thymus to center yourself and restore balance.
