I agree with what continuis has offered up. Nutrition does play

a big role in how you feel mentally and physically. Excercise not

only does your physical body good but also gets those fantastic

endorhpins (happy chemicals ) flowing for Mental health..which

combats depression!!!

Living in the past will keep you in the past. You can retrain

your brain to get rid of what I call "ANTS" or automatic negative

thought system. Using a Mental meditation with a Huge " X " in

your mind when these negative thoughts come into play can help to

eliminate them. Repeating to yourself "CANCEL CANCEL" and

envisioning the " X " over negative thoughts, fears and phobias.

I have read about this and many Cognitive therapists use this

technique. Then don't forget to reward yourself positively after

getting through whatever your trying to overcome...?
