4 POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENTS IN TIMES OF DEPRESSION

In working one-on-one with personal leaders, I’ve observed a common theme in the last few years: DEPRESSION.

I’m not a psychologist but I do know that depression can take place from several angles. Here are some of the symptoms I’ve heard leaders share in the last few years:

You can manage depression or even keep it away if you believe in these 4 things consistently.

COACHING TIP:
  1. Take out one sheet of paper. Map out 5 goals in life for the next 2 years: 3 must-have professional goals and 2 must-have personal goals.
  2. When you keep your mind focused and occupied on efforts to achieve these goals, you really won’t have much time or energy to be depressed.
  3. At the end of every day, write down 2-3 micro-accomplishments that get you closer to reaching your goals.

Finally, consider coaching and mentoring– they can be a significant way to elevate your life.

Here’s to overcoming depression and living your best life!
