Depression And The Law Of Attraction

Help with Depression

Firstly, the study of NLP tells us that when our eyes are down to the left we are in the internal dialogue part of our minds and when our eyes are down to the right we are in the feelings part of how we represent our experiences. The way this works has been well-documented and is the basis of much therapy work (see eye accessing cues). When we are depressed we are usually looking down – into our feelings and our internal dialogue. Feelings – meaning – more feelings – more meaning – and so on.

The other side to this in NLP terms is our physiology. Our physiology dictates our state. It is no coincidence that people who do sport regularly generally feel more positive and optimistic. If I told you there was a person standing outside your door who was really down (nice metaphor) and asked you how they were standing, you would have no problem describing it. We all know this stuff but don’t realize that if we change our physiology we can change our state.

In terms of the Law of Attraction, think about what the dominant thoughts of a person who is depressed may be. I’ve spoken before of the destructive activity of self-criticism and how the internal voice is not to be taken too seriously – but its not always easy. When you say you are no good at whatever (business, relationships, sport etc) and reinforce that with a feeling (that will no doubt come up when a bad memory or dis-empowering thought occurs), you have just created a reality for yourself that will totally support that dominant thought. You then use that as evidence to say it must be true!

Let me give you an example. I’ll use myself here. For a long time after I separated from my son’s mother I use to unconsciously equate relationships with emotional pain. Breaking up with my family was the most painful thing that had ever happened to me and I believed that I really tried to make it work, so two thoughts became dominant in my reality. The first was that relationships cause pain, in that people you love can be cruel and can be taken from you, and the second was that I wasn’t able to fix it, wasn’t able to save our relationship – so I thought (and because I kept thinking it, it turned to a belief) I wasn’t good at being in relationships.

At times this was a bit depressing until I understood more about it

Can you see how I used the result of what had happened as evidence to confirm the two points? Its not worth going into why it didn’t work out in that relationship, but it is worth going into what happened next. For years afterwards, every time I met somebody I liked, I would say or do something really dumb – a guaranteed deal breaker, and NOT the me that I knew – but it appeared to be a me I had become. I was unconsciously sabotaging myself and then using that as evidence confirming that I was now rubbish with the opposite sex. Finally I chose to not put myself through this disappointment and emotional pain and gave up trying. This may sound familiar to some of you.

We do it with weight, other health issues, work – in fact a version of what I have just described is how many of us get through life. BUT, I was creating all of that because my dominant thought was resonating with who I thought I had become NOT with who I really was.

It’s easy to forget that we are source energy, leading-edge creators. What does that mean? It’s a fancy way of saying we are powerful creatures that can affect our reality with our thoughts. So, once you believe that (a belief is just a thought you keep thinking) and take more responsibility for what you’re thinking, you can start being an active creator rather than a passive one.

You can start saying that you’re a lovely person. You can start saying you’re good at things. You can start saying how great it will be when it all comes together – as it will. You must tell the story of how you want it to be – not how it was!

Practically speaking, lift your head up. Look out in anticipation of great things ahead. Do some activities. Find a passion. Do things that make you feel good. Tell a better story about the world you live in where nothing is broken – some things are just best left to themselves. Tell a better story about yourself – not always perfect but a heart of gold and capable of great things. Fill your heart with hope and see a picture of a reality for yourself that is exactly what you want and work to feel how that will feel. Do all these things and your reality will certainly change.
