minds have been left to fester on very negative thought patterns for
a very long time. If we haven’t learned how to consciously influence
ourselves then we are always at the mercy of an untrained mind and
in most cases, the information that our minds dwell on is negative,
and so obviously we feel the negative results of this.
What we have to do then, is learn how to retrain our minds, how to
redirect our attention and our thoughts so that we inspire
ourselves, encourage ourselves and motivate ourselves with conscious
intent. Regarding the specific problem of depression, this is
actually a very simple process, but it is something that must be
repeatedly applied in order to bring about any long-lasting change,
especially if the depression is very strong or has been with us for
a long time.
So how do we do this?
The answer, quite simply is Mental & Physical Exercise.
