Flow With It<br />

Professionally I operated a stress management center for nearly<br />

twenty years and what I preached in <strong>the</strong> seminars and workshops I<br />

did was to “flow with life” ra<strong>the</strong>r than try to control it. When you try<br />

to control something, you give power to it. So ra<strong>the</strong>r than try to<br />

control depression or those thoughts of doom I allowed <strong>the</strong>m in my<br />

space. Sure it’s nice when you can blame someone else, but “an<br />

article of clothing,” or “enzyme <strong>the</strong>rapy”? It was easy for me to get<br />

upset and angry with myself for having missed disinfecting that<br />

article or trying <strong>the</strong> new enzyme <strong>the</strong>rapy and I did so. Again, I<br />

allowed that anger into my space without resisting it remembering<br />

<strong>the</strong> example I use all <strong>the</strong> time—crying over spilt milk (no benefit).<br />

End result—what’s done is done and I can wallow in it or look for<br />

creative options for <strong>the</strong>re’s no future in being pessimistic.<br />

So this is what I said to myself as I was driving home from my<br />

office, “I’m depressed, I hate this feeling and I’d like to flow with it,<br />

see this from ano<strong>the</strong>r point of view, learn from it somehow” (sounds<br />

stupid since I was itching from head to toe and desperate for a hot<br />

shower).<br />

I always like to look for options (I said that before—can’t say it<br />

enough):<br />

1. end my life.<br />

2. Wallow in depression.<br />

3. Discover more about <strong>the</strong> diet.<br />

I choose <strong>the</strong> latter, took a hot shower, decontaminated everything<br />

with ammonia spray, and made an appointment with my doctor to<br />

obtain a prescription for ORAP.<br />

What You Resist—Persists!<br />

Never fight depression. Instead, flow with it and look for options.<br />

Aim your brain for creative options to learn, benefit o<strong>the</strong>rs, to get<br />

beyond it and your creative self will come through for you. It’s like<br />
