Rise From Anxiety & Depression

It is later than usual.

The alarm has gone off a few times and you continue to hit the snooze button over and over again.

There is no hope.

There is no reason to get out of bed.

At least that is what your mind tells you.

Do not believe those thoughts of doubt that arise.

Your body is heavy,

Your mind is racing.

You feel much more anxious than most days and the thoughts arising in your mind are unpleasant.

You place the sheets over your head,

Trying to hide from the world.

You ask yourself,

What is the reason to wake up?

I do not feel like moving or doing anything.

I am lazy and have no motivation.

I am drowning in my thoughts.

You feel melancholic.

Your only wish is to lay in bed forever.

But you know time is of the essence.

Time is passing by as you observe a new day rising outside your bedroom window.

Deep down you can hear a voice behind the turbulent thoughts that whispers,

Rise young child,

Rise young child,

Rise young child,

You can do this.

Rise and do not be afraid.

The world outside can be a playground.

Give yourself a chance one more time.

Remember to smile and laugh.

This is your time to be alive.

This is your life.

More people than you can imagine are counting on your luminous and warm presence.

You are the bringer of joy to the lives of many.

Your energy is contagious.

You are a loving creature with unique qualities.

You are one of a kind.

Never forget that.

You are one of a kind.

Rise young child,

This world needs you.

Rise one day at a time,

One moment at a time.

You got this.

Only you can rise from darkness to light.

I believe in you.

I believe in you.

I believe in you.

The world is waiting for you to rise.

Now believe in yourself and rise.
