I agree that using some mindfulness techniques is very useful. If we live in a lack mindset we get lack. If we live in abundant mindset we get abundance. It is like a combination of law of attraction and mindfulness. It becomes a very spiritual journey in that you stood thinking so much of things or lack but you think about letting go. Letting go of what? Letting go of ideas and beliefs that do not serve you. Learning that you are the center of the universe (your universe) you must learn to care about you bc you are with you from conception until death. That's a long damn time to be around someone so you might as well love yourself and know your worth and get your needs and your wants met!!!! 100% truth. As you go through the spiritual journey you will be more connected to your higher self and higher power. Love to you!

God, @A MyDepressionTeam Member, I don't want you to feel that way!!!! It's the exact way I am feeling right now! You deserve nothing but good, I was wondering where you were, and now I know why I haven't seen you. You are my soul sister, never forget that. Think about what Samantha said, about you being with you from conception until death, and that's a long damn time to be around someone...Read the whole post, it is so good! I've been sleeping a lot, because my doctor won't let me go out among people, because if I catch this virus, I will probably die, the odds are very stacked against me. I have Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure. But, my body wants to get it together, it feels like it wants to get up, get going and live!!!! Why stay in bed? So, I make myself get up every morning and do the things I need to do. Feed my cat, get her water done, scoop her litter, hug her if she wants me to, like she did today. Eat breakfast. She is an awesome bundle of fur!!!! Do you have a pet? I suggest getting one, because they are wonderful supports to their humans. I know it sounds lame, but get some sun, walk in the park and enjoy this planet we are on. It's beautiful. There is so much more than the crime that is going on right now, keep the news watching short, there are so many people out there, doing so much good! You are a wonderful person, Linda. Believe it.

Much love sent to you!
Hugs,

Mary

Remember when we'd always, the whole team would, sign off with "Hugs" then your name? Maybe we should do this again, it makes the posts more personal, more caring. Wow, how long have we been on here, 4-5 years, maybe more? OMG.

I am good at sabotaging myself without knowing I am doing it.

Mary, I feel so damaged, and I agree, I think I self sabotage, so I can continue saying that "see, I'm not worthy of good things"..... I fail at things I need to do for myself to feel better- diet, exercise, etc.. I think no one wants to hear me silently be depressed.... I'm withdrawn and not much fun to be around.... So i continue to stay in my hidey hole......

Hey Mary!! Honestly I think I do it subconsciously!! My life has significantly improved since connecting more with the earth and being in nature, focusing on mindfulness and meditation programs.. BCalm is a good program if you can get into that!
I totally hear you. Being aware, like you are, is SO important and totally half the battle! Just acknowledging when that comes up for you, is a big deal! Baby steps will create miles in hindsight. Much love ❤️
