This is a very important article if you are suffering from depression. What do I mean by the law of suggestion? What I mean by suggestion is that you basically have two parts of your mind. You have your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between truth and a lie.
How your subconscious mind works is that you form beliefs about yourself, about the world, about things around you, and your subconscious mind acts upon these beliefs. There is a great expression in personal development which is so true as it is a law of the world."As within so without" which means whatever beliefs and thoughts that you have within (your mind), you will experience those on the outside (your results).
Therefore if you didn't have concrete beliefs about yourself and if somebody in the past suggested to you a negative suggestion such as, "You can't do this, or you'll never amount to anything in your life, or you're not intelligent, etc" and if you didn't have concrete beliefs about who you were in whatever area, definitely those negative suggestions could have become limited beliefs.
That suggestion that another person gave you becomes a new belief and this is how a lot of people enter depression. They let outside remarks, suggestions and criticisms affect them and they start to believe that they are true which hurdles them into a downward spiral of negativity. If you believe that you can't do something or you're not good at something, you will show these limited beliefs on the outside as they will show up as negative results in your life.
There is a great line in the New Testament. In the Bible it says, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you," which basically means whatever you believe on the inside in your subconscious mind, you will attain on the outside in the world.
So what's the purpose of this article? If you're suffering from depression, there may have been a trigger in your past that initiated your depression. It could have been when somebody said something negative to you which was merely a negative suggestion and it stuck and became a prominent belief in your mind. So the purpose of this article is helping you to change that belief.
The strongest people in the world mentally, they do not care what people say to them. The strongest people mentally in our society know exactly who they are and what beliefs they have. They don't entertain any negativity. They just dismiss it because they have already formed their beliefs about who they are. So what we need to do with you is we need to change your belief structure. We need to change your identity. We need to change your self-image (how you see yourself), etc.
This in a two-step process. Unfortunately most people suffering from depression think negatively about themselves but whatever you think is wrong with you or whatever you think your deficiency or your disadvantage is can most definitely be cured. So start working to improve in the area you think you are weak in, this is step 1. The second step is daily positive affirmations.You say to yourself in the present tense, "I am improving in X," in whatever area it is, "I'm improving in X, or I'm getting better in X."
So with this two-step process through the process of action and the process of positive affirmations and positive words, your mind will take that as being true with your subconscious because you are actually doing something to rectify the supposed problem. As you keep on repeating that "I am good in this area or I'm improving in this area," your subconscious mind will eventually form this belief.
The great thing about this method is when another negative person gives you a negative suggestion, because you have a positive belief formed in this area, it will not affect you. It will not affect you one bit because your belief is already formed.
So do this two-step process. Think about why you are suffering from depression and what do you think you are bad at? To change that belief, you need to start working and improving in that area and doing something practical every day and also you need to repeat, "I am good in this area. I'm getting better in this area. I'm improving in this area." You need to repeat positive affirmations multiple times daily. Repetition is the mother of all skill. Your subconscious mind will take this eventually as a positive belief that you are good in this area and then your outer world will start to change confirming your new positive belief.
