When you have been thinking negative and limiting thoughts for twenty years, you should expect to experience some anxiety and depression.  On the other hand, when you start thinking positive thoughts, the chemistry of your brain shifts in a positive direction, and you start feeling better.

You are responsible for the chemistry of your brain.  You create it by the type of thoughts you think during the first twenty years and subsequent years of your life.  You can create the chemistry of depression and dysfunction, or you can create a brain chemistry that predisposes you to joy, a positive attitude, and achievement.  If you don't like your present chemistry, you can change it by changing what you put into your mind.

You need to get back to the basics of healthy thinking.  You must stop polluting your mind with toxic waste and start filling it with good things.

Altering your brain chemistry with pills isn't enough.  You need to change what you are putting into your mind.  You need to change what you say when you talk to your mind.

Now is the time to accept responsibility for your mood and state of mind.  Your life will not miraculously improve on its own.  Talk to your physician to find out if you need medication.  But don't rely only on medication.  Go the whole distance and take control of what you put into your mind.

A positive mind isn't an accident.  It's something you do on purpose.  Start living with intention and make your life better by putting good things into your mind.  Spend time each day reviewing power graphics and repeating positive self-talk.

You can make your life as positive as you want.  All you need to do is fill your mind with positive things.

Remember, if you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.
