Resistance is Futile

I am recovering from Post Partum Depression. I have been struggling with PPD for about seven months but spent five months telling myself I was just sleep deprived. Being of the mindset that everything happens for a reason and there is a lesson to be learned in all of our experiences, I feel that the most difficult period of my life came with a purpose; to reteach me those lessons and how to implement them on my new journey. This is what I know to be true....

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Being fully present in the moment is the most effective coping skill available to you. The more you resist what is happening, the worse it becomes. Accept each moment for what it is and move on. In other words, this too shall pass.
A MOMENT IS A MOMENT IN TIME
What you experience at breakfast does not define your day, or even the rest of the morning. You can move beyond a difficult situation and start fresh minute by minute. That is the gift of time.
DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE
Our breath is the connection of our mind, body and spirit to the outside world. When we hold our breath, it interferes with our ability to fully engage in life, literally.
