If untreated this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? <br />Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is <br />something each of us can change. <br />Everyone&#039;s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are <br />common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude. <br />So how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude? <br />First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish <br />to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven&#039;t or can&#039;t do anything, then one <br />step is needed - to set goals. <br />Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain <br />may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small <br />goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals. <br />It takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain <br />this? <br />There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet. <br />In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. <br />Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is <br />happy, it&#039;s much easier for your mental body or &quot;thinking ability&quot; to be happy. <br />Next, exercise. A half-hour a day is recommended for positive well being. Then think about <br />good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything <br />you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an <br />average day and a great day. <br />If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable. <br />1.
