Happy You Are Here PodcastClimbing Out of the Pit of DepressionDepression can dig someone deeper and deeper into a pit of despair and deprive you of your energy, hope, and drive. The tricky part of depression is that it attacks the very things that would help you get better.

Happy You Are Here PodcastIncrease Sense of Love and Wellbeing Through This Meditation & Journalling PracticeAre you familiar with the term MettÄ (Loving kindness)?
The last few mornings I have incorporated this into my morning meditation and it always triggers such an expansive, open, joyful feeling of love. I cry too. Every time đ. Itâs somewhat tears of joy, but thereâs a bittersweet feeling to it. They are also compassionate tears for those suffering all over the world and those suffer that I know personally.

If you're stuck in this rut of complaining all the time-- and we'll talk about reprogramming your brain in more detail later on-- then you're pushing people away.
