HumanEarl Reloaded
The reloading process was undoubtedly the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. It was even harder to deal with than the 3 shoulder surgeries I had that happened to put me out of sports for some time. But now I am initiated and now there's no holding back. Let me share some of the things I did to recharge and get out of the mud.
- I looked up. I know where my help comes from and I tapped in to the power of the Creator
- I moved in the direction of my energies and started living my life in the flow
- I said NO to anything that was trying to steal my energy or degrade my health
- I went from having a "poor me" attitude to a "screw you!" attitude
- I spent more time with my family
- I took daily walks in nature to help relieve stress
- My wife gave me much support and encouragement
- I started working out again
I had to continue telling myself this especially when I had no motivation to do so. Once I started doing those things I mentioned earlier the doors started to really open in my life. I became stronger mentally and I regained mental clarity. Nature embraced me and welcomed me home. Slowly I started to become a force to be reckoned with. This is exactly why I am now on a mission to help others navigate this experience called life. I am no guru whatsoever. I am just someone who's battled with darkness face to face and lived to fight with those who feel hopeless. Much love and peace to you all.
Are you in a sunken place?
What things are causing you to feel hopeless?
If you have overcome depression or burnout what are some things you did to win the battle?

It never really goes away, just goes into remission.
I stopped wasting my limited mortal time with people that directly & indirectly give off negative energy. I don’t care how long you have been friends with Josh. Cut him off. Cut off parents if you have to.
A combination of swimming and judo. Don’t have time? Neither do I! Climb the stairs everywhere you go, no matter what. Works for me.
Every activity that was a waste of time was removed. Every moment is dedicated towards moving forward. Goal, micro task, execute.
The truth is,
-Situations will not come to you.
-It’s your job to go out into the world.
Put yourself in situations that facilitate change.

I always overlooked exercise in every self-help book I have read. It wasn't until this year that I had a moment where I realized that it really is one of the most important things. Your body and mind feel clear and you're able to tackle problems with more ease. Also, people who waste your time are nothing but a pain in the butt, once you realize this everything becomes easier in terms of accomplishing your goals. Really like the way you worded this, it is spot on!

@kouba01 #1 can be the hardest for people due to the expectations people have of others. But yea I agree that if you around negative energy you have to find a way to remove yourself from it
Exercise is known to improve your mental health so any kind of exercise can be helpful. Is judo difficult?
@rwenner Word to that

My wife has been there for me through it all. I would get angry at her for telling me what I really needed to hear. That just shows how much of a bad shape I was in. But like I said I stopped playing the victim.

I have had the same kind of feelings. And when the new year hit I changed all that. I stopped drinking, started eating better, started working out, started reading more. I have had a really nice turnaround. I think the hardest part for me is the consistency factor. It is hard for me to keep going. My depression has put me in such a deep hole. Now I feel like I am starting to climb my way out. Every morning I wake up put on a pot of coffee, reread my goals and start thinking about what I need to accomplish for the day. I recently got a new job so it is frustrating learning everything, it also takes away from my reading and positive attitude as I have always struggled to comprehend complexities. I am more of a hands-on type of learner. But having to pass a standardized state exam is stressful, to say the least. I try and go for a run when I am feeling stressed and come back to the task at hand a little later. It has helped some but I think the most important thing is to just keep moving forward! Have an awesome week my man!

You have the right mindset. Keep moving forward. You will have off days. Days where you feel like doing nothing and you feel terrible. I have been there too. They key is to try to move forward even if it's just baby steps. I will pray for your recovery friend.

Hi @humanearl
Every person in life happens moments when he is in complete despair. It seems that life is crumbling and that no one is able to help. It's a shame that even when there are no people close to hard life moments. All your friends who were with you when you were well - turned away from you. It's really hard. It's hard to be left alone.
I think that the true power of a person is hidden inside. You are the cause of all your troubles and problems. But you yourself are the solution to all your problems. The key to the solution is yourself and our task is to realize this. To realize this at the deepest level of our consciousness.
Earl, have you heard of such a man Dashrath Manjhi?
For me, this person is a real example of perseverance. Great job. This is a poor man from India who for 22 years was able to make a tonel in the mountain. By oneself. In order for people who need medical help to get it.
We must be persistent in seeking and gaining our happiness as this person.

Hello @humanearl..you know life is a string that needs to be drawn by plenty, you can't expect to be a loner and expect much reward and happiness from life, no matter how much we try to redraw ourselfs from the world, we will always keep finding them come to us, personally i have not heard of any that said "i made it through life alone" no help from no were, no motivation, no love, no show of kindness even from strangers, at some point, nature brings these people naturally to us.

@humanearl Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be.
It's a good thing that you left the "poor me" attitude to the "screw you" attitude.
Most times all we need to be successful is to believe in ourselves even after believing in the creator

Some people get prolonged depression and I think it may be due to some unwanted subdued thought doing a lot of harm from inside and if we do something from the external environment to change the mood and also do some deep breathing and yoga, then we can get out of it.
Thank you and Have a great day.

Once again, hitting the nail on the head. Gotta have activity. Activity breeds success. Sometimes even just getting moving physically can help you mentally. I was at a physical therapy office that had a sign "el movmiento es la vida." It means movement is life!
Thanks for the encouragement. It's not always easy to be positive in tough situations, but sooner or later we'll probably face them. And when we've gotten through it, we can look back and help others who are going through it. We've been there, so we know it gets better.

Some words in Spanish have similar roots as in English so you can sort of piece things together. I studied Spanish in school, so that helped me read the sign. I don't use it much other than that.

She is just leaning so she can speak another language in addition to English. I am roughly 40% fluent in German so that is the language I want to learn at the moment. But I haven't been doing well with my studying as of late.

I said NO to anything that was trying to steal my energy or degrade my health

I think these two things helped you a lot. And we should never give room to any kind of negative energy and we should be more careful about it, because parallely our subconscious mind is also working and once these thoughts find a room there it will be dangerous to the health of our mind.
Thank you @humanearl....steem on and stay blissful....

Emotionally damaged - that is what my close people tell me. I get affected by the feels - someone shouting, telling mean things and having a persona about me.
Slowly I am changing myself - letting my own definition be the king. And not get bothered by others definition or viewpoints.
Of course, I take their views to think about - but not let them damage me.
Slowly it works - if you badly want it to work.
