Editor’s Note by Helene Malmsio

Even though you may already 'know' what to do... take action... to snap out of it before you get to rock bottom, it often is the very last thing you want to do!

One way to get out of the trap is to use the strategies of the Law of Attraction, as you may find them more 'doable' when you are depressed and not motivated to get out of your own way.

I hope you get some extra strategies that you can put to good use to help you snap out of depression the next time it hits you.

O.K. Lets begin with this edition's Power Tips report for you... ENJOY!

"Law of Attraction for Depression"

Not everyone wants to go on prescription medication to alter their mind in an effort to deal with depression.

Some people prefer to handle it naturally. The law of attraction is one of many methods you can use to handle the symptoms of depression once you recognize that's what's happening to you.

The law of attraction is a way of life. It's not a magical formula where you wake up one morning and wish that the universe would make you feel whole again.

And it's not someone asking you to put on a happy face and lie about how you're feeling.

The law of attraction is a practical mindset shift to bring you the ultimate happiness and quality of life that you deserve.

You Are Manifesting Your Depressed State

If you already know that you suffer from depression, it's guaranteed that you're manifesting it yourself.

That doesn't mean bad things haven't happened or that you have to sweep it under the rug and pretend everything's rosy.

What it means is, for too long, you've been living your life chained to what's negative in your life and not enough time bringing good things to yourself.

Going to bed and waking up every morning depressed is a sign that your thought patterns are mired in sadness just as if you stepped foot in a lake of quicksand.

You almost can't get out of it and sometimes you feel like the more you struggle, the deeper into a depressed state that you get. This is true.

So you have to stop the struggle today - learn how to slowly recover and avoid falling into this trap in the future.

Manifesting a state of mind means you're actively focused on something specific. When this happens, you get more of the same.

If you're cheerful and upbeat, the world reacts in a more cheerful and upbeat state to you. The opposite is true as well.

So the first thing we have to do is look at what you don't want in life. You're a pro at this. You're doing it every day (probably all day long).

You're focused on everything bad - your relationship, your career, and your failures.

So let's have one last hurrah with it so you can validate your feelings, and then release them from captivity inside your soul to make room for the better mindset that's going to soothe and comfort you on a day-to-day basis.

Don't be generic when you do this. Find a spot to sit alone and concentrate. Take a notebook with you or do this exercise in your mind, but be very aware of the details.

Make a list of everything wrong for you right now. Don't just say, "I have a bad relationship." Instead, get specific.

Say, "I need more affection from my spouse or partner. I need hand holding and kisses and more intimacy on a daily basis."

You have to get real and pinpoint the problem because one way to heal is through taking action steps, and that's one thing you'll be learning shortly.

You should also write down why all this is happening to you. Is it someone else's fault? Are you plagued with bad luck? You need to see what you believe has caused this for so long.

Also look at how depression is making you feel physically. Depression isn't just a state of mind - it manifests itself in your body in an unhealthy manner.

Does your body ache all over when you feel down? Does your stomach hurt or does it feel like an elephant is sitting on your chest?

Get in touch with that physical emotion so that you'll be able to do things that keep you free of pain and discomfort as you work on letting some light into your life.

What Is It You Want Out of Life?

You need to look at that list and use it as a tool to develop the kind of life that you want. The law of attraction is about attracting the right things into your life. So if you want affection, you have to give affection.

You might be thinking, "I tried. It didn't work. I made him/her dinner and they weren't appreciative." So you gave up.

Part of what makes the LOA work so well is when you come from a pure and whole place in your heart.

If you go into each change with expectations and entitlement (I did this so he has to do this), you won't get the same results as you would if you did it selflessly.

This is hard to get used to. We sometimes live in a "tit for tat" state of mind. If we don't get what we feel we deserve, our reactions are anger, hurt, and disappointment.

This can tip you over into a state of depression because you are always feeling wronged and let down.

So if you can love for the right reasons, or work without praise because it's the right thing to do, you release yourself from those chains of negativity and open the door for some new, positive feelings to step in.

Instead of feeling bad after an incident where you felt disrespected, you're focused on what you did right - and that is a good feeling.

It's like when you take a name off of the annual Angel tree in the mall and buy toys for a child.

You go into that knowing you're not going to see a reaction or get a verbal thank you. You simply do it because it's right and it feels good, correct? Your daily life should operate in the same manner.

Just as you made a negative list of what's wrong with your life, or what you don't want, you should now make a positive, ideal life list.

What is going right - what do you want to keep the same? What other lifestyle issues do you want to ask the universe for and make happen for yourself?

Do you want better health?

More wealth?

Enhanced beauty?

It's all at your fingertips if you are ready to embrace a radical change in your thought processes. It's done using a two-step process - changing your mindset, and taking action steps.

Start by recognizing that those causes you blamed in the last section are not real or true.

The cause of your state of life is you. If you're in a bad relationship or bad career, it's because you've allowed it.

This is a harsh realization to make, but it's a reality. If you had changed your mindset and action steps earlier, you wouldn't be in this position.

Don't beat yourself up about it, though - because you're making change now - and that's something to be highly proud of!

They work. They make you happy. Use them.

"Law of Attraction for Depression" Report continued...

Now you have to adopt a new routine - and in order to do that you must first recognize that it takes awhile. You have to learn new habits and rewrite over old ones.

Don't feel down if you forget in the moment how to do it. Pick it up as soon as you realize it and move on.

Over time, it will become second nature for you to live this way and you won't have to try so hard or think about it as much - it will come naturally.

For the next 2 weeks, stay very aware of your present mindset. That doesn't mean look back at the end of the day about how you felt.

It means check in with yourself every half hour before too much time passes and see how you're feeling.

You don't have to waste time writing some big journal entry about it - just do a self check. "How am I feeling right now in this second?"

If the answer is anything less than content, then pinpoint it. "What's making me feel anxious or sad or angry?"

When you know what it is, you want to do two things - first, implement a new mindset about it.

If you're feeling depressed because you're in a job that you can't stand, then repeat an affirmation that the law of attraction uses to write over your old mindset.

You don't want to go through your day chained to negative feelings about your job - you want to focus on making a better life.

So you'll say something like, "I am happy that I'm working on achieving my goal of becoming a ... (and fill in the blank with whatever position it is you do want)."

Words alone aren't enough. We'll talk about action steps in a moment. Many LOA followers also use daily affirmations to uplift themselves.

They would add on to that previous message and say something such as, "I am pleased that I love and honor myself enough to work toward a career of my choosing."

You might feel like this is unnatural in the beginning. You might even feel like it's awkward.

But your subconscious mind ingrains this message - whether you are actively thinking in a positive manner or a negative one, so continue doing the exercise regardless of how well you believe it will work at first.

You're teaching yourself to quit feeling bad and start looking at the good part of what's happening at that very moment.

Using daily affirmations in the moment, or before bed and right when you wake up, is a great way to choke out depression for good.

Consider them akin to St Augustine grass. That is a hearty grass that, when thriving, will choke out weeds in a lawn, refusing to allow them to grow and infiltrate the plot of land.

You're doing the same. When your mind is focused on positive thoughts as often as possible, there's simply no room for anything else.

There's no possibility for depression to take root because happiness is too strong and too plentiful in your life at that time.

If you want to be more logical than simply ignoring the negative and replacing it with positive, then you can do that, too.

You can say, "It's understandable that I'm unhappy with this career, but I'm so proud of myself for working on a big change." And then make that change!

When you use affirmations, always speak or think in the present, never the future. Don't say, "I will try to get another job." That's defeatist at best.

You want to say, "I am getting a new career." You are! You're actively and currently working on steps to allow you to give your boss a pink slip.

Action Steps That Refuse to Let Depression Resurface

The most important part of the law of attraction is when you start living life as if you already have what you want.

That means every action you take is that of a happy person, not someone mired in depression.

Would a happy person crawl up into a ball on their couch and cry for hours because they hate their job? No.

A happy person would actively take steps to change their life. And that's what you have to do. You'll feel good when you're making changes.

If things are simply staying the same, you'll see no light at the end of the tunnel and you'll feel hopeless about your future.

If you start picturing yourself at the same work desk with the same coworkers 10, 15 or 20 years later, stop yourself and picture yourself in a new job surrounded by the exact kind of people you enjoy.

Then go to work on making that come true. What would someone who is happy in his or her career be doing? They would be growing their expertise.

You could sign up for classes, take on tasks for free that give you experience - research - there are tons of options for you.

You are going to be looking into who you want to work for (and why). You are going to be researching the company and what they're looking for so that you can possess many of those qualities they're looking for.

Make a plan of action and then use your mind and action steps to go from a state of depression to a state of utmost happiness because your life is morphing into exactly what you want it to be.

Healthy Power Tip:

Many chronic pain symptoms can be relieved if you are at your ideal weight. Get healthy and get rid of pain.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is effective for relieving general pain and fever, while ibuprofen (Advil) is good for relieving pain from inflammation.

If you suffer from migraines, keep a diary that helps you identify triggers for your headaches.

Common migraine triggers: stress, sleep issues, change in weather, improper eating, caffeine, dehydration and hormonal changes.

If you suffer from back pain, rest may not be what you need. Sometimes lying down can exacerbate pain.

If you sleep on your back, place a pillow under your knees to limit back pain.

If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your legs to limit back pain.

Avoid sleeping on your stomach if you have back pain. It puts a lot of strain on your neck.

Pain accompanied by fever generally requires medical attention. Get to your doctor as soon as possible.

Heat is a great natural pain reliever. Use a hot water bottle or heating pad. Ginger tea can help with joint pain and some say it’s as effective as over-the-counter medications.

Medications and natural treatments like lavender oil can help, but sometimes all you need is to increase your water intake to ease a mild headache.

Period pain? Try a hot water bottle, ibuprofen or some tea with fresh thyme.

Stretching and exercising regularly is often the best treatment for every day aches and pains.

"6 Stretches Seniors Should Do Before Bed"

"6 Stretches Seniors Should Do Before Bed "

One of the best ways to calm your body down and get it in a relaxed state that’s conducive for a good night’s sleep, is to engage in a few pre-bedtime stretches. Not only will these stretches relax you, but you’ll also wake up refreshed and less stiff.

It’s important to note that you don’t need to warm up when doing stretches before bed. The goal is to wind you down and not perk you up.

The first step is deep breathing. You need to watch your breathing when doing the stretches mentioned below. The stretches below are relaxing and do not require much effort or exertion. So, inhale and exhale deeply and in a rhythmic fashion.

1. Seated side bends

Cross your legs and raise your left arm above your head. Now lean sideways to the right so that the side of your torso gets a good stretch. Next, repeat on the other side with your right arm raised.

2. Cat- camel

Get on all fours. Inhale slowly and drop your belly down and arch your back as you look upwards. Next, exhale as you bring your hips up and round your back like a camel’s hump. Do this move a couple of times.

3. Child’s pose

Sit on your heels with your back upright. Now slowly lean forward till your forehead touches the floor. Your arms should be relaxed and by your side. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds. This should stretch your lower back.

4. Back stretch

From the child’s pose, straighten both your arms out in front of you and reach as far as you can go. Hold the stretch for 30 to 60 seconds.

5. Lying twist

Lie on your back with both your arms stretched out on the floor at shoulder level. Keep your feet close together. Bring both knees upwards and towards your chest.

Now lower both knees to the left side. This should twist your trunk sideways. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat on the other side.

6. Happy Baby

This yoga stretch with the cute name is a pose that’s similar to what babies do. Lie on your back, bring both your legs up with the soles facing the ceiling.

Your knees should be bent and your feet low enough for your palms to grip your soles.

This is like baby playing with his feet and toes. You need to grab the big toe of each foot and bring your knees closer to your chest.

If possible, you may wish to rock side to side to further massage your back. This stretch will relieve pressure on your hips and back. It’s a relaxing stretch that is ideal before bedtime.

Seniors who have problems sleeping should use these stretches to wind down. Taking a magnesium supplement (considered as nature’s tranquilizer) will further help to promote better quality sleep.

Ideally, seniors should have a fixed bedtime and wake-up routine.

When your sleeping routines are fixed, your body will adapt and automatically long for sleep when bed time approaches. When you wake up, you’ll feel refreshed instead of drained.

So, have a routine, do the stretches mentioned above and take a magnesium supplement if possible. May you sleep like a baby.

What's New?

It has been an extraordinary year for me so far, with all of the past five months spent in the fresh air every day, building pagodas and creating lovely new garden areas in my home and in my Community Garden I'm setting up for everyone to enjoy as well.

At the moment I'm planting out the winter vegetable seedlings that I've sprouted, and harvesting the last of the Summer cherry tomatoes, and lettuces ... and the weather is definitely getting a cold edge to it, so I'll be craving less salads soon.

Next I'll be gearing up my book publishing again, as I have so many ideas for new gratitude journals and personal notebooks

I thank each and every one of you that have bought by books, you are making it possible for me to live the dream of being published as an author and creative designer!
