My Weekly Reminder

All of us have experienced times when we’re feeling down, depressed and unhappy.  During such episodes, there is a tendency for us to focus inward thinking only of our problems, our troubles and our misfortunes–a behavior pattern that actually prolongs our feeling depressed.  On the other hand, the quickest way out of such situations is to spend a small amout to time focusing on others.  As psychologist Theodore Reik once said, “In order to be happy oneself, it is necessary to make at least one other person happy.”  So the next time you find yourself feeling down, take a few minutes and send someone a note, card or email thanking them for something they’ve done, commending them for something they’ve accomplished or just to say, “Hi, I was thinking of you.  Hope things are going well.”  You can also do this by phone.  This will not only take your mind off your troubles, it will also put a smile on your face and make you feel better in no time.  You’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing you brightened that other person’s day.  As Cynthia Helms once said, “Nobody really cares if you’re depressed, so you might as well be happy.”
