Body Mind Spirit
Erratic emotions, negative emotions, and depression cannot be addressed with just with one thing such as a sleeping pill, time off to rest, a favorite desert. It is an overall issue that involves all aspects of the individual: how you take care of yourself, your Self-awareness, relationships and emotional support system, unattainable expectations, your daily habits of eating, sleeping and thinking, and your overall philosophy about Self and life’s purpose.
