I somehow brought 2015 in with a case of depression. Depression started for me in my adolescent years. As far back as I can remember I struggled with my own thoughts. Thoughts about my family, thoughts about my friends, thoughts about my future and most importantly the dreadful self doubting thoughts. Depression is an illness that attacks your thoughts and the only way to stop depression, is to cut off those thoughts at the roots. If you allow your mind to dwell on the negativity surrounding your thoughts youll not only find yourself mentally in a chaotic vortex thats spinning downward, but you will also find yourself slowly becoming physically ill. Depression is a very real illness and contrary to what anyone says, you do have the power to stop it and the self ability to change. Therefore I am implementing this new tactic into my life and itll go something like this. Every time I find myself feeling down... I must do a pull up. The pull up will resemble the will, power, strength and ability to pull myself back up. The mind cannot focus on two things at once. Therefore if I am thinking downward thoughts i will balance them and my body out by pulling myself up. I also will be applauding myself more and, counting my blessings. I shall also say thank you more often and be thankful for opportunities, even if they arent the ones I wanted or asked for. An opportunity is just that and to let it go to waste could certainly be a misfortune. But one would never know if they dont simply, try. I am thankful for my past and I need to teach myself not to fear it. My past is just that, my past. My past will not and shall not predict my future. My future shall be predicted my my present and by living now. I am not as weak as I think I am, mentally and surely not physically. Therefore, it is time that I rise up and truly take strides away from my fears and into my dreams. Itll be scary, itll take a lot of work, patience and most importantly A LOT OF PULL-UPS! But if I keep this mentality and focus i will reach some of my goals. So here is to change and here is to 2015, and here is to mental and physical strength! #FeelingDownDoAPullUp
