We are all different and some see life through rose colored glasses and others spend most of their time misplacing them. But be that has it may, chasing new avenues to give yourself new outlooks is certainly better than watching nothing but miserable reruns of bad emotions.

The mind is strange – it can concentrate on only one thing at a time, so while you are focusing on something good, it is almost impossible to think on something bad.

There are things that help, so work on them. Picture Jesus, make a mental image of heaven – think creation and glory in a tinkling brook or the sound of a whippoorwill. Pick your own images and let the best in your life override the worst.

How to ease such an attack of depression... attack it with some silly thoughts such as:
1) popping some popcorn without a lid on or
2) making a list of things to do you’ve
already done or
3) reading the dictionary upside down
and then looking for hidden meanings or
4) making up a new language and then
using it to ask for directions.

This kind of thing isn’t a solution.

It’s really only a band-aide, but band-aides have their place too in the healing of wounds. Well, actually you probably won’t do any of them, but perhaps you got a laugh at just the suggestions, and laughter is a healer.

But sometimes, if you actually force yourself to do something ridiculous it may help a little.

C. K. Chesterton once wrote, “If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what might the heart of man become in its long journey toward the stars.”

“I have always been intrigued by a question God put to Adam, “Where are you?” Why did He ask that? What is the meaning behind this? It wasn’t a geographical question, for certainly God knew the answer to that one.

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM the SERIES on this Wyrick’s Writings site entitled ANGER IS A KILLER.

 

“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.
Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?

Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.

Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
