Don't forget to eat a nourishing breakfast. Your body needs energizing food to maintain a good posture and a positive attitude. Oh no, don't switch on TV in morning. Let "dear devil" sleep. The TV people like to show "breaking news" and you know any "bad news" is a "breaking news" for them. Don't allow TV to take away your smile and push you in negative territory. It will be a disaster for you. Instead, play your favorite music and sing "it's a wonderful day".

Reaching your job place a few minutes before start of work gives you positive feeling of being ahead of others. Shake hands with your co-workers, smile and say good morning, I wish you a wonderful day.

Monday is day when people have to push themselves to go to work. What a pity! Monday should be most wonderful day for you. What can be more satisfying than feeling that after a gap of two days, you are back to work. Enjoy your work. Be proud of your work.

During day whenever your feel depressed just say magical words "it's a wonderful day" and see how depression melts away.

Make every effort to make today a wonderful day. Those who lived yesterday are sleeping in their graves. Those who will live tomorrow, we don't know. The only living day is today and it's a wonderful day for person who knows dignity and honor of today.

She's not terribly happy about working, but she's been working full-time now for about six months. She is hoping to begin dating. She's insecure about it. "It's been so long since I've dated!" She quips. But, she is on her way to a new life and her level of acceptance is growing each day.

Other times depression may set in from a traumatic event, or a series of negative life events that overlap and overwhelm your usual ability to cope. If this is you, you are often bewildered as to why you can't simply shake out of it as you normally would. Or if it was a trauma event, you will often find that simple security issues (e.g., walking out into a dark parking lot at night after shopping) will trigger panic and later deep depression. Sudden trauma threatens your sense of general safety in world at large.

If you are wondering if you have Major Depression here are some guidelines to help you to correct answer. For best possible solution please seek professional evaluation. I offer professional consultation for individuals through email, making this step easy and convenient.

MAJOR DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS:

1) Depressed mood nearly every day. 2) Diminished interest in regular activities. 3) Significant weight loss or weight gain. 4) Sleeping difficulties. 5) A feeling of being "slowed down." 6) Fatigue and energy loss nearly every day. 7) Feeling worthless or excessive and inappropriate guilt. 8) Difficulty in staying on task or making decisions. 9) Frequent thoughts of death, including but not limited to suicidal thoughts.

Having a few of these symptoms does not necessarily qualify your for diagnosis of Major Depression. You need to have at least five symptoms consistently over a two-week period of time or longer.

If you decide you have Major Depression please confirm this with a depression screen which you may find on my website at http://www.overcoming-depression.com/depression-symptom. html Additionally, please consult your family doctor and a trained professional who specializes in depressive disorders. A family doctor can assist in ruling out a possible medical condition and a therapist knows how to assist you in digging yourself out of that deep depression rut.
