I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
-D. H. Lawrence
In love, as in life, we were meant to be ‘wild’ - to be free and untamed. But too often, we find ourselves in the throes of some [...]
For some people, depression is something that they encounter briefly every once in a while. There are others who experience longer visitations. Of course, it is much harder when you have to deal with long-term depression.
What happens when you can’t seem to get your mood up and everything is simply bleak and gray? I am [...]

One of the most poignant memories you may have in life is that of being able to watch the sunset. There’s a feeling of calm and beauty as you watch the sun go down. It can also give you a few moments of reflection.

This is a simple exercise that I hope will be of big help to you in your healing. Whenever you feel something, just acknowledge that you feel (sad, angry, happy, etc.) right at that moment.
