3. Try not to tell yourself those most destructive things

When, I was dealing with my depression, the worst thing I have ever done to myself is chattering those ultra destructive things which over-clouded my negative thoughts leading me to live in a negative consequential world where I was seeing myself at the edge of sadness, depression even at the end of life. “I am so stupid…I can’t do anything better..”, “I am afraid, embarrassed of myself..”, “why does this always happen to me?”, “I will never forgive that person for doing this..”. These lines more likely make you weak, scared, shamed, jealous and revengeful. Positive thoughts emerge from positive acts like being confident, fearless, content and merciful.

So, it’s better to take some effective actions to reform or rectify your present that might change or alter your future.
