When we have repeated thoughts our brains create grooves for those thoughts. When learning lines for a presentation, recalling passwords and usernames it is the repetition of these same thoughts that helps to lock them into our memory. Unfortunately the our thoughts cannot distinguish between real and imagined. So if we have had an experience that depresses us, our brain will just create that negative groove. If we spend our thoughts anxious about the future the same thing occurs. Keep in the present moment living life consciously. Be engaged with others, go into nature, monitor news or scary films that might trigger depression and anxiety. Work out, get a good nights’ sleep. If any of these ways to a healthy body are eluding you and trapping you get help. Life is in the now and mental wellness is your birthright.
