I was looking back at something I wrote a few years ago and I think it applies to today as well.

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. ~Confucius

Depression is often said to be caused by angry feelings that people hold and keep inside. One of the best ways to deal with this type of depression is to keep your focus on positive things. You can do this by daily freeing yourself from any bitterness and hatred that you feel.

If you are angry or annoyed with someone, forgive them–either in person or just in your mind–before you go to sleep at night. Don’t give those negative emotions a chance to get a foothold in your mind while you’re sleeping. Find a favorite book that has a positive message and read a few pages every night before you go to bed. After a while, you’ll notice that you start to wake up with a better attitude.

Make it a goal for this new year to deal with any depression. Life holds so much more when you release negative feelings.
