How to Stop Feeling Anxious, Depressed and Emotionally Overwhelmed

Anxiety, depression and mental health are constantly in the news. So what causes anxiety, and depression and the feeling of being overwhelmed? I have a completely different take on the cause of anxiety and depression, and how to stop feeling anxious and depressed naturally without drugs.

Many people incorrectly believe that depression is simply a medical condition which is out of their control.

I don't agree. Understanding how to apply the correct knowledge and techniques to successfully resolve your brain's stress response (as well as the problems triggering the feelings which lead to them) can give you complete autonomy over your mental and emotional wellbeing.

It's important to note here, that emotions are not feelings. Emotion is the expression of life force, energy moving through you. How you interpret the way that force is flowing (or not flowing) into your life is what gets you into trouble. When you disconnect from the force of emotion, you disconnect from the source of power that makes you feel alive!

I am feeling angry, or I feel frustrated, I feel so disappointed, or you are making me feel this way! Many people believe they have no control over the way they feel and this is not true.

When you negatively perceive how the emotional force is flowing into your current situation, your mind has a tendency to fixate on related problems. This can quickly overwhelm you as you contemplate all that’s going wrong in your life and what you think it means.

Threat-based programming can create an endless and depressing loop of negative thoughts and their related emotional reactions which continue to cause mental, emotional, and physical stress in all aspects of your life.

There are three vital aspects necessary for you to become in control of your emotions. First of all, you need to know what outcome you want to experience and secondly you need to direct your focus and actions toward that outcome. However, the key to really being in control of your emotions is to direct the power of the emotional force when it flows through you.

If you get caught up in the mental interpretation of emotions and feelings then you're going to start focusing on what you don't want. Remember that filter in your brain? It just runs the program which is determined by your focus. This is how you keep yourself in a depressed or anxious emotional state. 

In this state, you can’t think clearly, you can’t feel good and your modes of thought and action are contaminated at an operational level because you cannot process any new information. This is what makes you feel overwhelmed to the point of giving up. You’ve disconnected yourself from reality. 

The programs which regulate your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and relax your muscles are interrupted by stress hormones when your brain's stress response is triggered. During this time, your brain remains on high alert. This is why emotional reactions feel so intense and physically uncomfortable, and why it's so easy to become retriggered. 

When you consciously resolve your brain's stress response by not retriggering yourself, your body naturally comes back into sync which is why you immediately feel better. Your prefrontal cortex also comes back online so you can access your full creative potential.

Then it's a just matter of correctly reprogramming your brain filter with the right information so you can remain focused on creating your ideal outcomes.

Our brain is designed to connect with others, yet we must make sure we are using its full capabilities, so we don't go "offline" when we feel emotionally triggered. When we are triggered, our body language, facial expressions and tonality reflect tension which has a repelling effect on others. This is what causes us to feel depressed, isolated and alone.

Conversely, when you are feeling emotionally stable, your body language and tone of voice will convey your calm demeanor and state of wellbeing. This has an attracting effect on others, as it enhances their feelings of safety and wellbeing which increases their desire to be with you. 

Resolving emotional stress responses, naturally aligns your body and mind so you can be led into inspired action. However, to cure anxiety, depression and feelings of overwhelm it's important to deal with emotional and sexual connection issues which would otherwise continue to invade and contaminate your mind.
