Lifeline: Entertainment
So one of those nights. One of the struggles of overcoming depression is accepting the moments when emotions seem all over the place. Over the past couple of years as I have come in and out of depression I have learned how to accept this tag along friend. Fighting it by ignorance or ignoring it is not a viable option. Why? Well ignoring it seems to only make it grow stronger.
So an array of emotions in the span of an hour as I drove back from a meeting engulfed me and seemed to want to drag me down a road I did not want to follow. I started to sing and I started to talk to God and I laid it all down whether it made sense or not. Then I just told my unwanted companion that I would not ignore it but I would not give into the lies it presented. You see we all have our own way of dealing with this miscreant that can plague our lives nonstop. One of the most important and vital components of overcoming depression is having a plan whatever strategies that work for you.
But the night was not over when I drove into town, going to my studio was not an option when I felt so low. Outside of a local coffee shop I parked and a song titles "Overcome" began to play and I knew it was for me; a gift to battle off all those lies. Soon I made my way into the coffee shop and sat down to grade but found myself wanting something to entertain me and fun.
So here are two links of the video I watched. Sometimes I can not believe how much we limit ourselves in regards to our creativity ability. In life we need moments of pure entertainment especially when our emotions want to run us. So hope the links work. Life is all to short and we must live to the fullest being the best of ourselves we are wonderfully made always...
