It’s impossible for your mind to get overwhelmed by your worries and fears if your mind is absorbed and focused on serving somebody else.
It’s just true that people who are thinking about serving others are way less depressed than people who spend their time always thinking about themselves.
To me this is the whole point of living out your Values.
When we live them, I mean your behavior in the present moment is to actually live those values out, when we’re doing that it’s impossible for your brain to be thinking about your problems, you can’t do both at the same time.
The practical application to using values to guide your life is to daily live them regardless of how you feel.
Keep Coming Forward
