How Mindset Heals Depression

some days like today, i wake up with a sense of awe—

amazed at how different my life is now than what it used to be even just a year ago. don’t get me wrong, it’s not every day i leap out of bed and embrace the dawn of a new day. but the enthusiasm for life has surely been a new spark i’ve struggled to get accustomed to. i can’t help but give some credit to the changing of my inner dialogue and the way i see myself.⁣
⁣
i used to see myself as an outsider. as someone who didn’t belong. someone who’s “inherent brokenness could never be fixed.” but that narrative has changed.

instead, i have grown to see myself and my human experience as a journey of true divination and conscious evolution.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
i haven’t dipped into a wave of “depression” in quite some time. that doesn’t mean that challenges don’t come. that doesn’t mean i’m exempt from pain or deep seated grief. but the aching doesn’t last as long as it used too. oh, how those days of apathy would turn into weeks. and those weeks into months. the sadness was kind of like a familiar addiction—afraid of what would happen if i let go of the comfortable chaos similar to my childhood experience.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
i used to be afraid of the pain—

out of fear that it would take me out of the joy of life. but as i’ve grown to realize the lesson beyond its uncertain depth, i’m no longer so terrified of it. on the contrary,

i try my best to welcome pain in when it is here.

because i know as long as i allow myself to feel it deeply and honestly—liberation is the silver lining waiting on the other side. ⁣⁣
