steps to overcoming depression for the pretending sane pt. 2
6. Live your life. Are you surviving? or are you living a life of purpose.
7. Think about living your life with purpose, what does it mean? Does it mean that you’re living day to day or living with an end goal in mind. Does it mean that every thing you do is for a bigger reason, or are you floundering? A life that is lived with purpose has direction, is cohesive, is accomplished.
8. Don’t do things solely out of obligation. It’s not worth it.
9. Plan for the future. Make goals, live your life to fulfill them. Be hopeful, but realistic.
10. Make sacrifices to fulfill your goals, but never so much so that you lose YOU.
11. Make art. Make your life an expression of who you really ARE.
edit: part one is here.

This is a great list, especially the part about living your life. Sometimes it is so easy to “forget” and go on auto-pilot. I’m glad you’re overcoming this.
