TDGS #022 - Saving Yourself From Depression : My Journey to a Positive Baseline

In this captivating solo episode, join me as I delve into the powerful strategies I discovered to stabilize my mind and uplift myself from the depths of depression. With raw honesty and personal insights, I share the transformative steps I took to cultivate a positive baseline and regain control over my mental well-being.

During this enlightening discussion, I explore a range of topics designed to empower and guide you on your own journey of self-redemption. I begin by advocating for an emotional audit, a deep dive into our inner selves to understand the root causes of our emotional struggles. Discover how journaling, when used thoughtfully, can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and growth, while also cautioning against its potential negative effects when used solely for manifesting the future.

Unlock the secrets of effective journaling as I reveal what to write about when you yearn to transform your world. I highlight the importance of increasing faith, shifting focus from mindless social media scrolling to the enriching experience of reading books, and becoming hyper-sensitive about the content we consume.

Embrace the power of adopting new habits and keeping promises to yourself as I share personal anecdotes and practical advice on building a foundation of self-trust. Learn how taking radical responsibility for your mental state can unlock newfound confidence and a deeper connection with your intuition.

Join me on this journey of hope and self-discovery, where you will find the tools and inspiration to save yourself from the clutches of depression. Together, let's embrace the unknown, step into the light, and nurture our minds towards a brighter and more fulfilling future.
