When you’re struggling with depression, it can be incredibly easy to live everywhere except where you actually are. Your mind replays what you wish you had done differently or jumps ahead to everything that could go wrong. Before long, yesterday and tomorrow are taking up all the space you have today.

Being present doesn’t mean pretending the past didn’t happen or refusing to think about your future. It means remembering that right now is the only place where you can actually do something for yourself. You can’t rewrite yesterday, and you don’t have to solve tomorrow today. Sometimes healing is simply bringing yourself back to this moment and asking what you need right now.

What helps bring you back to the present when your mind starts pulling you away?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:
