Depression Be Gone! Only Happiness Come My Way!

All my childhood and teens and 20's, I suffered from depression. I would have mood swings, feel hopeless and tired, and yes, at times, very suicidal. I remember having bouts of these episodes that would plaque me and it always seemed to worsen during winter! When I started diving into my research about food and the connection between many emotional disorders, I came across a MIRACLE!

I was reading a book that truly forever changed my life! It is called 'The Sunfood Diet Success System' by David Wolfe. This book helped me so much along my journey and helped open my eyes to a new way of eating and caring for myself and understanding my body and mind! I highly encourage you to read it!

In his book, David Wolfe states, 'To break a bout of depression, eat one or more melons in the morning for breakfast daily for 5-6 weeks. Eat them on an empty stomach and avoid other foods until 12 noon. Melons are rich in the B complex vitamins and these bolster the nerves. Spells of depression are often associated with moments of low blood sugar. Eat fruits throughout the day to keep blood sugar up. Avoid complex carbohydrates (baked potatoes, French fries, breads, cakes, cookies, rice) and alcohol which can cause erratic blood sugar fluctuations."

I began juicing cantaloupes every morning when the cold, winter months set in. And to my surprise, my depression wasn't there. It was amazing!!! I didn't feel sad and I felt balanced. I was so delighted and truly amazed by this, that I started telling everyone I knew! I know depression can wreck havoc on peoples lives and it is CURABLE!

This was one of the main reasons I began to study and only eat foods from the Earth! I noticed I felt happier, more alive, more balanced and like I had a renewed lease on life! I truly believe the things we partake of to fuel our bodies have a direct effect on our minds and bodies and spirits! Since eating this way I feel happier, more connected to my body and more in tune with my spirit and the Earth and a Higher Power!

I love sharing what has changed my life for the better with everyone! It has truly become a passion for me! So to anyone out there suffering from depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, suicide, mood swings, I understand! I've had it ALL! I can truly say that eating foods rich in LIFE and vitamins and enzymes and nutrients has completely changed my life and has given me a new start!

So, I urge you to start TODAY! Right now! In this very moment! YOU have the power to choose what you put in your body! You deserve to give yourself foods that give you LIFE! Life is meant to be enjoyed and you are meant to thrive! Fueling your body with "foods" that come from a box or bag, and that are laden with chemicals, artificial dyes, and ingredients, will only make you feel worse.

I want to grow YOUNG! I want to feel RADIANT! ALIVE! Real food, food from the EARTH, will do just that! Give it a try! Start juicing! Eat more fruits and veggies! Do your own research! It will empower you! Once you realize you feel better, you will begin to make more and more changes! Its a chain reaction that leads you to a more balanced, peaceful, happy state of being!

So my recipe for helping heal emotional imbalances are as follows:

Eat Earth food!!!

Juice! Especially KALE and MELONS!!!!

Practice deep breathing!!!

DRINK WATER!!!!

MOVE YOUR BODY!!!! Yoga, Dance, whatever you feel that causes you to feel happier!

SING! Let yourself hear the song in your heart and let your voice be heard!

Pray and Meditate! I heard it said once that prayer is talking to God, while meditation is listening to 'God'. However you wish to see it, know that having those quiet moments with whatever you choose to call your 'Higher Power', will connect you and truly bring you peace from the inside! Having inner Peace and knowing your Joy comes from you and your connection with your 'Higher Power', will bring you everything you need!

I have a quote taped on my bathroom mirror that has truly helped me remember to honor and love myself! I hope it speaks to you as well!

"Your own body is a manifestation of God. And if you honor your body, everything will change for you. Practice giving love to every part of your body. This will plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor and respect your body immensely."

Sending you LOVE and Blessings! Remember you are DIVINE!
