What can you do if you suffer depression? Well first do see your doctor or councellor and then look at all the options; 

Search inside of yourself for your creative spark, and then for the love of it, begin to develop and allow your soul to once again express its uniqueness in ways that do not self destruct.  Depression is anger aimed inward, when this happens the energy system of the body shuts down, it disconnects with its God self, with its creative potential, its source of life.  The key with creative expression is not to get caught up in the judgment of your expression, so underlying the dThese issues also need to be worked with, and the key here is to simply learn to accept that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what is one mans trash is another mans treasure.  It's what you are feeling that's important, it's the fact your creative energy is flowing that will lead other areas of your life to open up and blossom. 

When we allow our creative energy to flow, it opens us to life it provides an avenue for a rush of energy to flow through the physical body sending the message to every cell and fibre in our being that we are alive.  Creativity can be simple things, it can be making bookmarks, it can be photography, it can be sewing, dancing, planting a beautiful garden. 

And just like planting a garden remember, that creativity just like a garden takes time to grow.  You're not going to develop all the skills you want overnight its going to take time for you to begin to reach your potential. So be patient, it takes 2 years for an idea to manifest to it fullest into a physical experience.  I have seen many people become down hearted when they take on a new job and it doesn't immediately bring results.  We have become a society which seeks immediate gratification and when we don't get it we get angry and walk away.  I recently watched one young man at work who had taken on a position as a sales man, he came into the job with power and passion and then 5 weeks later he still hadn't made a sale, you could see his energy begin to drop away, then 6 weeks into the job he stopped coming to work, calling in sick.  What had happened here was that firstly he did not understand that it takes a while to get the energy moving and to achieve success, and second his self judgement was giving him a very hard time.  His expectations of himself were totally unrealistic, but they were expectations which he had adopted from society! 

When I began with Truity, I had all manner of challenges to overcome, and the only person who could do this was me.  People shook their heads told me I was crazy told me it would kill me, and instead of giving me encouragement, all but one of my friends walked away from me.  People could not see the vision I had burning in my soul, they could not understand that I was willing to literally walk through hell to manifest my vision of an online global community which supports people to excel. 

Your creative energy is yours and yours alone.  Don't expect other people to understand why you have taken up painting, or dancing, or photography!  Do it because it fulfils a passion that fires your heart - that brings your soul to life and generates joy and goodness. 

Remember just take one step at a time, don't try to run before you can walk and in time with constant focus and nurturing from yourself, your creative ability will lead you to get your life back in balance. 

One last thought for those of you I can hear saying, "but I am not creative, I don't have a creative bone in my body."  Well folks look deeper, even an accountant can be creative, the key is just finding a way to bring that expression to life.   Good luck and Godbless  TRUITY
