Be here now!(sound familiar?)help for depression

It is raining today after many days of an almost early summer!
It rains, its sunny, its warm out, its cold... It is our Life! what are you doing this moment(or should I say, after you finish reading this?)Are you stuck in a negative mindset? Are you angry that your life has not turned out the way you imagined? Are you anxious or depressed about your life?
Every moment that you are stuck in the cycle of negative thinking is a moment that is taken out of your Life. When we think negatively we are not present. We are lost in our thoughts. In fact, our thoughts have taken control of us!
So now, in this moment, take a deep breath, breathing slowly in and slowly out. Feel your life breath and feel the power of your aliveness. Now close your eyes and imagine you are in a forest surrounded by trees, birds are singing, the sun is shining and you are safe. Open your eyes and you can be there any time. When you find yourself lost in negative thoughts imagine the forest, breath and refocus on your aliveness.
