4 Tips To Cope With Depression

In this video I am going to share with you 4 of the best strategies for coping with Depression. By 2020 it is estimated that Depression will be the second most disabling condition in the world after heart disease. The strategies in this video have been shown in research trials to help. Here is a brief outline, I will go into more detail in the video. 1. Activity Scheduling Research has shown that filling our day with routines and tasks that give us a sense of pleasure and achievement boosts positive mood. 2. Identify Thinking Filters When we are Depressed we use thinking filters, these are patterns of thinking that filter out details that make us feel positive and highlight details that make us feel negative. Identifying these filters and reintroducing the information that has been filtered out will improve our mood. 3. Identify Your Self-Critical Voice One of the main triggers for Depression is a self-critical internal voice, identifying this and replacing it with healthier alternative thoughts helps to diminish depression. 4. Keep a Positive Log Keeping a daily log of achievements can act as an antidote to Depression If you have any questions then please post your comments below and I will do my best to help.
