You're in for a treat! This was not supposed to be a podcast episode - it was supposed to be a voice memo from me to me, to remind myself of this blissful moment that I've experienced. After recording it and listening to it again and again, I've decided to share this with the world. After being diagnosed with chronic PTSD, depression, and anxiety, I've been on this emotional rollercoaster with a lot more lows than highs. This is one of the very few times that I feel genuine happiness, joy and bliss, without relying on any external stimulant. I did not even know I was capable of feeling this emotion.

Upon reflecting on it, I realized that nothing in the external world changed. My income was pretty consistent. My net worth has been growing steadily. I have been living in the same house for the past couple years. I've had my 2 cats for many years. I've been with the same man for a couple years. The only thing that really changed was my internal state. I was finally allowing myself to celebrate me for just existing. I stopped requiring an external reason like income or productivity for me to celebrate ME! I allowed myself to be my biggest cheerleader. I remind myself that I got my own back, regardless of the "result" I create, or the "productivity level" that used to measure my self worth.

We all have times when we feel down, but depression is about more than feeling sad or fed up for a few days. Depression causes a low mood that lasts a long time and affects your daily life. Remember that help and support are available, and recovery is possible even if you've felt depressed for a long time. 

In this podcast, we will talk about mind drama. I sometimes like to create a lot of drama in my head because I realize that when I feel depressed, and I'm when I feel like I'm such a failure. My solution for you is to start to think about "what kind of version of me?" or "what kind of version of life do I want to live?", "the life with no calm mindset?", "What are my values is my value to live a joyous life? And when you have these values, when you live life, by your own set of values instead of external goals, it is effortless for you to feel those things to feel those positive emotions. 

You don't have to be a millionaire to help people; there are many ways to help people. Like there are so many ways that you can help people, and as long as you follow these values, you're going to start to feel happiness and fulfillment.

People who suffer from depression may be oblivious to the fact that they are depressed. They may be unaware of the signs and symptoms of depression, leading them to believe their emotions are normal.

Part of getting over depression was finding a less troubled and authentic way of living and working. This involved changing their work, reducing work, giving up a job, or taking early retirement. There were personal and financial consequences, but many felt that depression had allowed them to rethink their lives and identify what was most important to them. 

If you're struggling with depression, you're not alone; many people have had a difficult year. You don't have to deal with or live with your symptoms alone. Anyone who wants to overcome their depression can get help.

Sometimes, the number one thing holding people back from manifesting wealth is that they don't believe that they deserve a financially-free life deep in their subconscious minds. There are many reasons people may feel that they aren't worthy of being wealthy. When you believe money is limited, you may begin to compare yourself to others and look for reasons why you 'fall short' or why you don't deserve to have as much as others. You feel anxious and helpless about your finances, and as a result, you never move forward.

On the other hand, is the empowering mindset of abundance. When you train your brain to develop an abundant mindset, you will discover that there are always new opportunities to make money and that you deserve to have wealth just as much as everyone else.

Many of us assume that we are not making the amount of money we want, or experiencing the freedom we desire, because we need to learn more. What if that's not the case? What if it's not what you need to learn more, but instead, what you need to UNLEARN? How many times have you talked to yourself negatively? How many times have you doubted yourself? How many times have you broken promises to yourself? How many times have you felt unworthy? Or convinced yourself that you are unworthy of MORE in life. ...more abundance, freedom, wealth and income? What if this is one of the main reasons why you income has been relatively stagnant?

We are all individuals with different paths, but on this journey, life. Some do not know where they are going or how to fit in. While others look for ways to make a difference and go through twisting and turning, trying to fit in. Everybody tries to fit in because they desperately want to feel at home wherever they are. But fitting in will never get you home. Fitting in is about trying to adapt to a world that's not your own. You don't belong there. 

Your payment will be limited mainly to your paycheck at first. You will need to trade time for money as your first participation in the economy, just like everyone else in their first years of financial independence. This isn't just about your job, though. It could also be your side jobs, where you use the skills you've learned at work to supplement your income. Money doesn't grow on trees, but it does tend to multiply when you work hard. And with multiple streams of income, you'll have your money working hard for you. Fitting in those income streams that does not make you happy makes you lose yourself.

Forgiving yourself is about more than just putting the past behind you and moving on. It is about accepting what has happened and showing compassion to yourself. Self-forgiveness is not about letting yourself off the hook, nor is it a sign of weakness. Whether you are forgiving yourself or someone who has wronged you, the act of forgiveness does not suggest that you are condoning the behavior.

If we try to forgive ourselves for something without releasing the underlying emotion or belief we’ve attached to it, forgiveness doesn’t take. No matter how hard you try to ignore it, you continue to beat yourself up for whatever happened—because your nervous system tells you to.

No one seems willing to take personal responsibility for whatever they feel is wrong with them, with everything. One sees people blaming problems outside of themselves in all directions, justifying their behavior.

Depression strips away your energy, hope, and motivation, making it difficult to take the efforts necessary to improve your mood. It can be difficult or impossible to put into action just thinking about what you should do to feel better, such as exercising or spending time with friends.

People with depression may not recognize or acknowledge that they're depressed. They may not be aware of the signs and symptoms of depression, so they may think their feelings are normal.

All too often, people feel ashamed about their depression and mistakenly believe they should overcome it with willpower alone. But depression seldom gets better without treatment and may get worse. The person you care about can get better with the proper treatment approach.

Depression symptoms do improve with treatment, but it can take time. Finding the best cure may require trying more than one type of medication or treatment approach. For some people, symptoms quickly improve after starting treatment. For others, it will take longer.

People-pleasers are well-known for going out of their way to make others happy. While being helpful and pleasant to others is a good thing in general, going too far to please others can leave you emotionally tired, agitated, and anxious.

Pleasing others isn't always a negative thing. Maintaining strong relationships with loved ones necessitates being a thoughtful and caring individual. However, it becomes a problem if you're trying to gain approval to boost your self-esteem or if you're putting others' happiness ahead of your emotional well-being.

It's essential to know your limits, establish clear boundaries, and communicate those limits. Make sure you're clear about what you're willing to take on. If someone looks to be asking for too much, tell them that it's above your capabilities and that you won't be able to assist them.
