Since I was much younger, I had struggled with anxiety and bouts of depression. I didn’t realize what it was. I just knew how I felt. When a depressive episode came along, I felt a deep emotional pain, a terrible emptiness that seemed like it would never go away. For those who haven’t experienced it, it’s difficult to truly understand. There is no snapping out of it. It’s not a feeling of self-pity. Typically when a person feels down, they can do something to make themselves feel better. Take a walk, listen to music, play a game, take a hot bath, take a nap, and soon that negative feeling goes away. The difference with depression is, that negative feeling is something much darker. No matter what you do, that feeling does not go away. You can’t just take a nap and feel better. It is always there like a heavy shadow sucking the energy from you, a darkness that prevents any joy from entering your body. You feel this way because that is exactly what is happening in the brain. Your brain has an imbalance of chemicals where you cannot experience those feel good chemicals anymore. So, when you no longer have any type of good feelings running through the body, all there is, is pain. It’s scary because no matter what you do, it doesn’t go away. This feeling can last for months, so it’s easy to fall into the belief that it will never go away, which makes it even more terrifying and devastating. Just imagine not feeling joy from anything you do. You would not only have no motivation to do anything, it’s actually painful to do anything. It’s all the pain with no reward.
When these feelings of depression return, it can be pretty terrifying, because I know the terrible journey I am about to experience ahead of me, uncertain if it will last weeks or months or if it will ever go away. Luckily, I’m a mental health therapist and have been able to learn the triggers of my own depression and have been able to prevent its onsite for many years. But recently, I had been under a lot of stress. It was like everything was happening all at once, as if all my life experiences were being held back in an inflating balloon, until all of sudden it bursts and explodes life everywhere. A concoction of incredible feelings and terrible feelings all coming at once. I could feel the stress building and building, but I kept going and going, trying to endure and overcome, trying to be strong. Until something happened. I woke up one morning, and that deep, dark, terrifying feeling had returned. I’m not sure if it was because I hadn’t felt it in a while, but it felt deeper and darker than I had ever experienced before. To say it scared me is an understatement. It terrified me, because I was afraid of what was to come and how it would devastate my life. As that fear built up inside me and as the tears began to flow, all I could do was ask for help. Right there in my bed, I asked for help, and soon after, a thought came to mind. Where did this thought come from, you might ask? My higher self, the universe, God, I’ll let you decide that on your own. But I asked for help, and an answer came to me. The one thought that came to mind, the one word that came to mind was gratitude. Now, even in the doubtful, pessimistic, hateful thoughts that come from the darkness of depression, that small light was able to shine through. Gratitude. Thoughts of gratitude had to be spoken through gritted teeth, because it felt like there was nothing I wanted to be grateful for, but I did it anyway. I dreadfully drudged through my mind to find anything I could be grateful for. Then I began to be grateful for future events like overcoming my current feelings of depression. I did this for a while, then just let it go. That is when something incredible happened. Knowing how deep of a depression I was in, and how long depression typically lasts, what happened next felt to me like a miracle. About 30 minutes after my words of gratitude, it felt as if the depression completely melted away and was replaced by a rush of joy, of happiness. This was followed by a wonderful sense of relief that the depression had gone.
Gratitude has played such an important and wonderful role in my life. I believe it has filled my life with absolute joy, and wonder, and happiness and has helped me manifest incredible things into my life. That is why I want to share this gratitude meditation with you. In this meditation, you will not only focus on being grateful for what you already have, but also feel gratitude for what is about to come. You will soon see how the gift of gratitude allows us to manifest anything we want into our lives.
Listen nightly, and watch how gratitude has the power to create miracles and allow you to manifest incredible things into your life.
