Self-Expression Through Study


When you think of self-expression, do you think of it as a passive or an active activity? When you think of studying, do you think of it as a passive or active activity? Just asking.....

 I am sure some people might not think of study as a form of self-expression but I do. When I choose to study something, and I enjoy the process, I find things that interest ME or help ME or enlighten ME in a way that is so productive, so building. Studying something that interests me is a great depression getaway too.

Study really gives me an opportunity to express myself. Even if I am studying what other people think or know, not what I think or know, it is an effective form of self-expression.Unknown Object I am expressing my interest.

 We are talking about 'self-expression' as an essential ingredient for coping with depression, diverting depression, and healing depression. We have so far talked about arts and crafts, dance, music and singing, worship and now study.

 Google has made study even more fun than ever. You don't have to get in a car and go to the library anymore. Study is always there at your fingertips just waiting for you.

 WHAT ABOUT YOU? How are you feeling today? Have you tried any of these forms of self-expression? Does one thing work better than another? Have you possibly discovered a form of self-expression that you had previously overlooked?

 Don't give up! There is hope for depression.

Anyways, that reminded me of how much you can find on the internet just with a few words to google. It's amazing, isn't it? And that got me thinking about how much information I have found over the years about depression that has helped me.

Joy and Sorrow - Together?

  Joy and Sorrow - At the Same Time? Have you ever experienced joy in the middle of sorrow? I have. My father died suddenly at the age of 59. I remember the moment. I was at his funeral, sitting in the front pew holding my mother's right hand with my sister on the other side holding her left hand. The three of us were drenched with tears. The big church was packed. But despite my sorrow I was filled with joy at the life my dad had lived, at the lives he had impacted in a good way, and at the thankfulness I felt for having him all those years.
