DEPRESSION, SADNESS, OVERWHELMED, PART 4

Like yesterday's post, don't be scared by the sketch. I hope that you can "translate it" for your situation.
This next tool--SUBMERGE INTO THE SPIRITUAL--is a tool that paradoxically keeps me afloat.

There have been, and are, many times that my unhappy emotions have come from turmoil around me. If I don't seem to be coming out of the negative emotions, I have to steady myself again on a firm foundation and look at the bigger picture, the eternal view. In the previous post, the tool was finding a sacred place. This tool helps me to find the sacred inside myself. But it doesn't come just by snapping my fingers or saying, "Oh, I want to be more spiritual." Just like any true learning, it takes work. When I'm depressed, I have to put in more effort and be more consistent with that effort. I have to go deeper.
If the things mentioned in the sketch are not something you do, I hope that you can find your type of spiritual and connection, and that you find the sacred in you.
Tool #4: SUBMERGE INTO THE SPIRITUAL.
