Let's Fight Depression, Let's Be Positive (2)

-
The point is that anybody identified with passing through depression should have someone around, someone that can really revivify them, bring to them about life's reality, how the passing challenges that present as trauma could be handled. They need a psychologist or a spirit lifter. 

It is not true that you must be a trained psychologist to offer this solution. What is needed is the spirit, the will and the motivation to inspire. You could prove your mettle in this by thoroughly keeping an eye on your neighbor, to know when such need arises. That's your first duty and prove to weather the storm.

However, to assert this role effectively, you must be in the best frame of mind; you must be able to have what you endeavor to give, else you have no business trying to. It is to say that you must be free from depression and its impact yourself to identify and offer the needed help in conditions of depression.

You can do that by thinking less of your challenges and considering rather on positive things; the fact is that challenges would always be, they are part of our humanity. Think on the things that offer how best to resolve your worries.. Be happy over your little successes; even if there is none you can lay hands on, create one, imagine something to keep you happy.

You can read motivational books, especially the scriptures, attending inspiring gatherings, mix up with good, jovial friends and listen or watch inspiring programs on your radio or TV...

Attend soul-lifting shows and relax with comic, funny materials. Most importantly, believe in yourself and how your tomorrow is better off for you to be alive and live it than waste it killing yourself.

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

-

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-
Image
Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci
