Take the Self-Expression Challenge


We have been discussing self-expression and the benefits it has for depression.

 For the last few posts, I have even chosen prayer as a form of self-expression. Would you ever have thought that prayer was a way of expressing ourselves?

 I chose prayer because it is something that is important to me and I have found it a wonderful way to express myself. Besides, I really do believe there is a God, that he loves me and he died for me and he answers prayer!

I hope you enjoyed the posts about prayer....
But there are so many other ways to express ourselves. I shared a list of ideas in 10 Great Opportunities for Self-Expression.

 And now I would like to challenge you!

 Would you like to take  'The Self-Expression Challenge'?

 I am going to challenge you all to one, and only one activity on the list of 10 Great Opportunities for Self-Expression.

 It's a simple one.

 Are you ready?

 Colouring? COLOURING! That's right, colouring!

 Go out to your local dollar store, splurge on a set of new crayons, there is nothing like new crayons, and buy a coloring book!

 Coloring, yes really, colouring! Need proof that it is a therapeutic activity, a good way to express yourself? Colouring is just one of many 'holistic therapies' recommended on The Addiction Recovery Guide. They even have a coloring link for you to go to and find some really neat stuff to color. Try it, you'll like it!
I am going to challenge you to colour one picture every day.

 WHAT ABOUT YOU? How are you feeling today? Would you like to take the challenge? Try colouring. Millions of children can't be wrong.

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

In the meantime, just for fun, I googled 'yorkie writing a book' and this is the picture that came up. It's a beautiful picture, isn't it? Actually looks like a painting to me, what do you think? 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.
