I have been getting victory over depression by focusing on two things. I have had so much success in balancing my state of mind by focusing on these two things, I do tend to be overbearing in my insistence that what has been successful for me will help others. I'm realistic enough to know that what works for one person, won't necessarily work for another - but a part of me is insistent. So bear this in mind and forgive as I state my opinions as to what would be good for you, when what I'm really saying is what has worked for me!

I Can Be Completely Happy

First of all I start everyday knowing I can be completely happy, fulfilled, in love with myself, and all around me. I remind myself that what keeps me from being happy are those thoughts that give me reasons not to be. And it is these thoughts, not our circumstances, not our PAST, not our loved ones -- nothing around us or outside of us, but our thoughts that are taking away our natural born right and intent to be deliriously happy with ourselves and all around us.

And so my first focus is - how am I feeling right now? Are the thoughts I'm entertaining uplifting and loving? I remind myself that I am perfectly happy - it's only my thoughts that are telling me otherwise (why do they do that?) And I attempt to choose thoughts that are optimistic, loving and compassionate about myself and others.

Focus on Diet

The other part of the picture of a happy fulfilled life is diet. The body of a human being was designed to be fueled by plant food -- plant food in its most natural state. Our cells, our organs, our brain and nervous system function best when nourished with the earthly elements of which human bodies are composed. We will find a direct correlation between our state of mind and state of health. There are foods that aid mental clarity and emotional stability. These foods are plant food.

We have been taught to think about food in terms of vitamins, minerals, calcium and protein. I think of food in terms of earthly elements. My cells are made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, magnesium, zinc, potassium and a host of others. Our body creates millions of new cells everyday and it needs earthly elements to sustain itself. These earthly elements are not found in refined and processed foods. Chemicals made by man, not by Earth or God, do not adequately nourish the human body because of the lack of primary elements in their natural state.

I focus on ingesting as much plant food as I have an appetite for. I continue to have an appetite for refined and processed foods and don't deny myself any food that I have a taste for, but I am diligent to eat raw fruit and I consume raw vegetables in the form of vegetable juice. I have brightened my day considerably by preparing and drinking freshly extracted vegetable juice. I have cured headaches, nausea, fatigue and confusion by drinking this nutritious, live substance. All that try this miraculous beverage, freshly extracted will find an improvement in body, mind and soul.

I have risen above most states of negative thinking by embracing positive thinking and by focusing on eating large amounts of raw plant food. Between a focus on my thoughts and a focus on my diet (and if I fail to focus on one, I find the other focus, whether positive thinking or diet, doesn't work as well without the other). I am convinced and convicted that all who embrace positive thinking and the importance of raw plant food to the diet will enter upon an experience of optimal health and true beauty.

My life purpose is to spread the word that mental, physical and spiritual states of ecstasy are possible and probable in this lifetime when the body and mind are healthy.

Forgive the annoying ads and popups on this web site, I am working on another that is less annoying but for now maxpages is offering me a free site and I'm very very appreciative of that.
