Anxiety & Depression by Donna Lakes

Anxiety is often caused by fear and worry. I have touched on how metaphysical energetic problems in previous bogs can cause it, but it is often caused by past trauma or current stressors.

Anxiety and Depression are also often caused from one not living in alignment with oneself. Maybe your job or career is not in alignment or a relationship is not with you. It could also be a belief that you are holding on to that could be creating Anxiety and Depression.

There are physiological reasons for Anxiety and Depression as well. The most common are problems with the functioning of your thyroid and adrenal glands. Other common physiological causes are hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), anemia (low iron), yeast overgrowth (also called Candida), and many more.

Since our beliefs and thoughts create our physical experiences, and it all comes down to vibration, it is necessary to check not only your physical health but also your emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

Are you feeding your soul? Are you in alignment with your values and experiences in all areas of your life? What are your core beliefs about yourself and how you react to life and the people around you? What is your attitude towards yourself, career, partner, family, friends, etc.?
Take a deep look and make changes where changes need to take place to create happiness and peace in your heart, mind, and soul. Question your lifestyle and work towards pacing yourself, relaxing, and trusting life to support you. Work to create the perfect balance for you. It is different for everyone. But for the most part, we must let go and learn to live without so much stress and hustle and bustle. We also need to look at our nutrition and educate ourselves about food and its effects on our health. In my opinion, we must get back to whole food, good-fashioned simple food, and stop messing with the food and processing it. This will help our overall health tremendously!

If you have Anxiety and Depression, you may want to follow this checklist or ask these questions.
1. Am I emphatic?
2. Am I stressed or a worrier? Do I live with a lot of fear?
3. Am I in alignment with myself in my career? My relationships? My way of life?
4. Get a check-up with a Doctor who does Integrative Medicine
5. How is my diet? Caffeine, sugar, drugs, alcohol? Try to eat more protein, fewer cards, and more whole foods
6. Do I need grounding?
7. Do I need more exercise?
8. Do I need relaxation techniques? Breathwork, mantras, stretching, massage, meditation, yoga
9. Do I need a life coach, counseling, or healing?
