The 2 Types Of Depression

There are two types of depression. One tells you to just be patient; the other one tells you that it's time to change!

Sometimes, when we want something, and while the universe is happily aligning all the consequences leading up to our desired outcome, we get impatient. We started doubting ourselves by wondering why haven't things come? Where are they now? Is it going to happen? All these questions are actually casting your thoughts of lack into the universe, interrupting its grand design in bringing everything to you.

Thoughts of lack, will of course by law of attraction, attracts the lack of abundance. So fulfillment of your desires, an act of abundance cannot happen as long as you hold the thoughts of lack. Your negative emotions when thinking the thoughts of lack speak very clearly to you, about why you shouldn't think thoughts of lack. It's your soul telling you that "YOU ARE MESSING THINGS UP! STOP DOING IT OMG!"

On a smaller scale, you may feel a little unease. On a bigger scale, there you go... As long as you continue to delve at the thoughts of why haven't what you want come, your depression will haunt you. And it will grow larger and larger until it consumes you, and forces you to give up on what you wanted; effectively creating the situation of lack in your life.

Now on the other hand, depression also tells you that it's time to make a change. What are you unhappy about now? Your life? Your work? Your relationships? Your health? Then make a change! Make a change today!

Too many people resort to all sort of excuses just to avoid dealing with their issues heads-on. It is bad really. Most common issues are definitely work and relationships. Often, one brushes off their emotions and just move on, hoping that it will go away soon enough. Actually, it doesn't. Just that when depression becomes such a natural state for you, you stop noticing that it exists!

Change doesn't always have to be physical. Unhappy about your work? There is no need to quit it now now. If you have a house loan and a family to feed, heck the lack of money would make you even more depressed isn't it? But surely there is a some small improvement where you can implement straight away into your life right now.

Maybe it's just a change of attitude on how you approach your work, change of perception on how you perceive your work environment, colleagues, and your duties etc. Anthony Robbins suggests that, by changing the words and metaphors you use to describe something, you can effectively change how you feel about the certain subject. Give it a try. Instead of describing work as a "grilling hell", how about describing it as a "fantastic place to challenge your limit everyday"? Do you feel better now thinking every morning that, you are going to see how far you are going today! I bet you would feel all fired up instead of dreading work.

If work, or life is too mundane, too routine, sets a goal. Set a destination to look forward to. Reward yourself once you hit that goal. Let the reward itself be the destination to look forward to!

A simple goal could be, "I'm going to get through the 8-hour work today, and watch a movie tonight!" Or "I will get through this week and I shall invite some friends for a deep sea fishing weekend!" "By getting through another 3 months, I shall reward myself a new car!" Or perhaps a larger goal works better for you? "I will be the best of the best in my job and in the company. And I will be respectable through my knowledge and achievements." "I am going to score an extra sales every week, and eventually hit my weekly target of 2,000 sales. So that I can be comfortable with where I am financially." "I am going to save up $ 20,000 in 10 months, and start a new business, re-gaining my personal freedom!" etc.

It is very easy to differentiate between the two types of depression actually. Are you waiting for something that is coming in a foreseeable future? By foreseeable future I don't mean it as in 10 years or 20 years. In fact if it is anymore than 1 year I would seriously classify your depression as "the one that tells you to change now!"

Change something. Change anything! If it doesn't work, keep changing! Change the way you describe your situations, change your thoughts, change your closet, change your daily routine... It doesn't matter. Just change.

I hate to say this, but 90% of the time when you are depressed, it is probably telling you to change instead of being patient. :)
