Using Your Will Power in Managing and Conquering Depression

Your will gives you the ability to maintain your determination to survive. Your will is your resolve in strengthening your character. The will provides us choices, desires, wishes, preferences, bids and commands as well as wants. When you have will power, you have motivation and a spirit that can force you to take the correct action when times are hard. Will promotes our self-control along with hope which, for many, comes from prayer.

When you feel down and out, prayer can work wonders to help you find your will to survive. Prayer pleads for help and support to find a way out of a situation or condition.

Prayer enables us to call upon a Heavenly Body who can help us to fill urges and requests, which stems from our human needs. Thus, meditation is another helpful source in finding recovery, since to meditate you pray.

If you're suffering depression, you need will power, since it can help you pull out of your negative state of mind.

Sit in a comfortable position in the floor or on your bed. Sit with the legs folded, crossed over, thus Indian style. Place your palms upward on your knees and close your eyes. For a moment, remove all thoughts from your mind. Once you've cleared your mind, experience the feelings and sensations in your body. You may notice tension starting to develop, or else you may notice tension leaving. Focus on your stomach and feel the expansions of your breathing. Allow room for relaxation.

Now, think depression. Consider depression. Consider how depression affects your body and mind. Deliberate through the process while seeking ideas that can help you to relate to your symptoms. Why are you sad? Is there a solution that will make you feel joy?

Now, contemplate on the questions to seek new answers. Next, use reflections to conjure mirrored images in your mind. Picture yourself standing in a beautiful garden.

Acknowledge the surroundings, while smelling, listening for sounds, hearing and tasting the fresh air. Now, tell yourself that in the garden there are no dangers. You're safe.

You have permission to explore the cavities of the grounds to seek out indicators, signs or manifestations that cause your depressive symptoms to arouse. Express what you find. Yell, scream, shout, cuss and cry, etc. while exploring for suggestions and expressions that will give you evidence to define your depression.

Move to ruminate your mind. In other words, continue using reflections, while prompting your thoughts to explore by musing over your discoveries. Don't feel afraid of your discoveries; rather, view them as indicators to help you find reasons behind your depressive symptoms.

Next, we're going to set a goal for you to follow, succeeding a plan.

Goal: Depends on the severity of your depression: Each week I want you to meditate or pray at least 5 times per week.

Plan: The plan is to help you manage and conquer your depression.

The more you practice meditation, the more you'll start to feel relaxed. Thus, the action is great for sparking your will power to continue your journey in life. Remember, when life gets you down, there is someone on the other side of the world who is suffering worse than you are. Therefore, you're not alone. In addition, somewhere in the world someone can relate to you, understand you, and accept you in life. So never think no one cares.
