Aloha,

Depression and the holidays often go hand and hand for some people. Joy to the world seems allusive at best when you’ve just lost your job or because of the economy you are afraid of loosing it or a loved one has died. Our house burned down the day after Christmas when I was in high school and for many years after that Christmas was a nightmare. So how can angels help?


When we are depressed or feel hopeless we are definitely disconnected from our connection to the divine. It certainly isn’t that God allows ‘bad things’ to happen to good people. When our connection to God is solid it allows us to see all the events in our life as a gift. I must admit there are times I’d rather return the gift but by embracing and accepting things I have the opportunity to deepen my connection to my spirit.

I have learned to see everything in life as an opportunity to either hold onto to my limiting beliefs or expand my awareness, so I can see life through the eyes of the angels. By simply asking myself how else I can see something, my experience of life changes. When I choose to see everything as a gift I can feel peaceful and content no matter what is happening in life.

Tomorrow I will be sharing 7 ways you can use angels and your spiritual connection to overcome the depression that the holidays can sometimes bring. I’ll also be sharing ways to allow yourself to fully enjoy the holiday season.

With love and aloha,
Susan
