When you begin to truly care about other people, so much goodness comes right out. This only assists into solidifying your inner peace. It can be individuals close to you or complete strangers, but any act of kindness and goodwill eases your way towards peace.
When I help others, I stop centering on my so-called problems and realize that my life isn’t so bad after all. This rids my entire being of all the stress and feelings of overwhelm. There's great peace and wisdom in thinking and caring about other people, which we're blind to when we're too deep within our own selfish ways.
Depression causes us to center on ourselves - our fears, our troubles and our problems. That's not to say that being depressed marks us as selfish; instead, part of the symptoms is that we have trouble seeing on the far side our own troubles. By focusing outside of ourselves, we can cut down the effects that depression bears on our lives.
This doesn't mean that our own troubles aren't hard or severe at times. Many individuals are fighting horrifying battles against disease, old age or other troubles. And no matter how severe our problem may or may not be, we're always more cognizant of our own pain. Occasionally, though, there isn't much we can do to alleviate the source of our troubles, so all we can do is alter the way we deal with them.
One problem we often have as human beings is to fear the worst, or imagine just how sorry things can get. But the truth is that our worst fears normally don't come to pass. It's seldom as bad in reality as it is in our own minds. So one key, then, is to get out of our own brains by involving ourselves with assisting others.
Another difficulty for many of us is that when we're under stress or when we start to feel down, we'll prefer to disengage, to isolate ourselves. Because of our troubles, or the way we perceive our problems, we might feel like no one else empathizes. As long as we are entrapped alone with our own thoughts, that might be true. By staying associated with other people, or by making new associations, we can get out of the downward spiral happening in our own brains.
