Here are some thoughts on how to sidestep feelings of depression: ‘I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed because there’s joy in my life.’ (M.J.Fox) So the first idea is to find joy in our life regardless of circumstances. How to do this? ‘Regardless of what is happening, strive to find the joy in your life. Happiness is temporary, joy is something that comes from within and is always available to you.’ (M.Blaszczyk) Perhaps spending some time reflecting, and asking others how to find joy will be useful today. With joy you will have a much easier time growing and developing yourself.
