Living On Purpose

I am nearly finished writing an  ebook  all about the dietary reasons some people may end up depressed. What we eat or refuse to eat can determine whether we will feel weepy, grumpy, or irritable later! Of course, nutrition isn’t everything when it comes to clearing up depression, so I have posted an outstanding interview with a facilitator of The Work, a process of self-inquiry that has helped lots of depressed people. If you haven’t yet seen the interview with Clear Life Solutions about The Work, it’s online now:
Interview with Carol L. Skolnick

One of my favorite authors in the self help arena is James Lane Allen, author of As a Man Thinketh. I point to all the reasons why I love this philosophy of life on this page:
As a Man Thinketh

Both of these pages are about self-inquiry, or self-examination. This is a very important part of spiritual growth (or however you want to call it: growing up, maturing, evolution of the soul…). When I am no longer afraid to face the very parts of myself that I am hiding from, I can move past any emotional blocks stopping my growth. I love the feeling I get when I actually notice that I’m not bothered by something that years ago would have sent me to my room crying. All the time I spent with various meditation styles has paid off, but I’m nowhere near done! All of us are works in progress.
