"The seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart." - Andy Andrews
Is this a grateful time of year for you or a depressed time of year?
As a therapist and coach, I hear the following statement often at this time of year:
"I bet you see a lot of depressed people this time of year."
Well, yes and no.
The depressed time of year?
Somehow it has seeped into our culture as common wisdom that there are a whole lot of depressed people during the holidays. To some extent, this is true. It can be a tough time of year for those that have suffered recent losses or changes, or people that are apart from their loved ones.
The interesting thing is that I tend to see more people struggling with sadness and depression after the holidays than I do
during the holidays.
It makes sense when you think about it - all the hoopla and excitement of the holidays is now over and it's back to real life. It's cold and now you have to pay holiday bills.
Gratitude beats depression
I believe that gratitude beats depression every time. It's like the childhood game Rock-Paper-Scissors - Rock always bests Scissors, Scissors always beats Paper, and Paper always beats Rock.
And so it is - Gratitude always beats Sadness and Depression.
