Food, Anxiety and Depression By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

In our current society, there are many factors that can cause or contribute to anxiety and depression. Certainly money and work problems, relationship and family issues, as well as illness and loss of loved ones are major contributors to anxiety and depression. Also, how we feel about ourselves and treat ourselves contribute greatly to how we feel. Even in worst of times, if we are treating ourselves with compassion instead of self-judgment, we may be able to manage big challenges without anxiety or depression. In addition, being able to turn to an inner source of spiritual guidance and comfort is vital to weathering hard times.

Food is another major factor that greatly affects how we feel. Most people don’t really notice that what they put into their bodies affects how they feel. They might know that if they “sugar out” they may crash emotionally, or if they drink too much they will feel hung over, but they are often unaware of how other foods may be creating anxiety and depression.

In over 35 years that I’ve been a counselor, I have frequently encountered individuals whose anxiety and depression completely cleared up by tuning into how food was affecting them.

For example, Marnie discovered that dairy, wheat and sugar kept her up at night. She would wake up at around 3:00 in morning with intense anxiety, and would be tired and depressed next day. By experimenting around and cutting out different foods, she discovered that she slept fine when she stopped eating dairy, wheat and sugar. All her nighttime anxiety vanished and she was no longer tired and depressed.

I have been talking about manifestation for a long time. My intention is to make people be aware of unlimited power they have been given since moment they were born and hopefully I can help to awaken their inner potential to get them connected back to source of creation.

What I believe is that how much success, happiness and fulfillment you experience in life is exactly proportional to your level of awareness. Our whole purpose in life is to be awakened to highest level of awareness sometimes called enlightenment. The only job for us in life is just to bring up our level of awareness through experience of learning, working and living.

The fastest way to bring anything from unseen world to physical world is through study of Universal Laws. We should study all time, not just one time. We must make sense from these laws, and make them a part of our daily thinking, make them a part of us. Once this happens, you are truly enlightened. There is no more struggle in your life, your life becomes an easy and stress free process of creation. You simply ask, and you are given, you simply give and you receive more.

These laws of universe which I talked about in my Free e-course, "Rapid Manifestation" (http://www.theultimatesecrets.com/exit.htm), and Dr. Robert Anthony (http://www.theultimatesecrets.com/cb/Robert_Anthony.htm) talked about in his course again and again are easy to understand. However, you may understand it , but not know it. Knowing and understanding are two different things. Understanding is from your conscious mind, but knowing is from your superconscious mind, which is connected to highest intelligence of universe. In order to truly know these laws, you must remind yourself again and again. You must study them, think about them, remind yourself all time, until they become your second nature. Then, enlightenment will happen.

I have noticed that many people read my articles about universal principles, but few people know how to use them, so I have designed a step by step guide to help you use these principles to manifest anything you desire.

Here it is...

Step One: Define your major goals clearly.

If you don't know what you want, universe can not help you. State clearly what you desire, state it specifically. Writing your goal in a form of intention seems always to help.

example

"I intend to earn $20,000 per month."

"I intend to attract my soul mate into my life."

Step Two: Design a good affirmation for each of your goals.

Your affirmation must believable, and must state truth. It always helps to use emotional triggering words.

example

"I choose to manifest $100,000 dollars Now. I accept this or something better"

Using words "I choose" will add extra believability to your affirmation. Always add, "I accept this or something better" to your affirmation. You will be amazed how much more you will get.

By using word Now, you trigger your power of creation, because Now is only time that exists, and only time your can execute your power of creation. Now is only time that manifestation occurs. By saying "NOW", you are stating truth. Don't fool yourself by saying, "but I don't see $100,000?". What you see you currently possess is an illusion, you already have $100,000 in energy level, you are stating truth.

Step three: Program affirmations into your subconscious mind.
