The world could use a little Prozac. Especially the people that are hooked on always watching the mainstream news. It’s unhealthy mental digestion to constantly eat up the negative headlines. A better diet consists of more interaction with family and friends in a fun way. If your family reminds you of mainstream news, then perhaps start a new family. Or seek help. Yes, I know that’s usually easier said than done. But life’s too short to constantly deal with anxiety, stress and depression.
Depression
We aren’t required to live with depression. But we are required to love ourselves and others. But it’s easier to love when not depressed. It’s possible, but near impossible, to love ourselves and others when depressed. Depending on severity and coping skills.
It’s possible to beat depression. Both spiritually and physically. Spiritually, God, family, professionals and friends help the most. Physically, getting outdoors on a bright sunny day or clear sky night is great augmentation to proper medication.
Anxiety and Manic Behavior
And then there’s stress. Stress is a fact of life. Stress is everywhere. So is evil. The mainstream news is stress… it’s mostly about evil. Stress creates anxiety. Stress can also trigger manic behavior. Spiritually managing and avoiding manic triggers is just as important as taking medications.
Love
God’s good Grace is healthy healing medicine that helps us deal with the negative. God reaches out to us when we reach out to Him. God helps us to deal with evil and stress. It’s a feeling we get from grateful Love.
I don’t feel that I should be giving God a pronoun. In my mind, God’s not identifiable as human. Think about it. When’s the last time any of us “hims” or “hers” physically created anything out of nothing. Of course we do it all the time in our brain. We call it imagination. Magicians do it with tricks. But we’re not capable of the physical creation of anything beyond mixing existing natural elements.
God created the elements… from nothing… or perhaps from within His own infinite matrix. God is ultra mysterious and fascinating.
We’re not expected to understand God. Just His Message. Which is to overcome fear with love.
