Defeating Depression

In today’s episode, Dallas shares a tale of a fail as he recounts a recent cooking
incident where some shrimp defeated him. However, this funny story afforded him
the opportunity to make a decision – how would he respond to small, unexpected
defeat? Whether it be in depression, anxiety, negative self talk, relationships,
business, or just life in general, how can you and I overcome those little,
unexpected defeats in our lives?

We’ve all heard the adage, “Forgive, but don’t forget,” especially if we have
experienced pain/hurt from another person. In today’s episode, Dallas challenges
us with the question, “What if we were able to forgive AND forget?” What
freedom could we find beyond the pain, beyond the triggers, beyond the depression
and anxiety if we were able to truly forget the wrongs that have been done to us?

This past week, Dallas’ son, Lex, wanted to ride his bike to school for the first
time. Daddy rode with him to make sure (a) that he was safe, and (b) that he knew
the way. All Lex had to do was worry about oncoming traffic and his safety while
Dallas was there to guide him at every turn. Where in our lives do we need to listen
more for guidance?

Today, Dallas gives a little TMI as he shares how he over-ate brussels sprouts and
paid the price for it. The situation gave him insight, though, into how often we can
overindulge and go “too extreme” too quickly; and when we do, even the best of
intentions can backfire on us.

In a recent trip to Michael’s craft store, Dallas witnessed a funny occurrence with
one of the workers there. The situation gave him an insight into how frequently
people look to assign blame rather than take responsibility. If we would realize,
though, that blame puts our power in someone else’s hands, perhaps we would take
hold of our personal power to transform our lives.

Dallas shares a story he read about a young woman who complained about the
hardships of her life to her father. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen and
showed her three pots of boiling water. He put potatoes, eggs, and coffee beans in
the three, separate pots. The insights he shared with his daughter are insights for us
today. Whether we are dealing with depression, anxiety, negative self-talk, or any
other hardships, this lesson is powerful.
