Overcoming depression



Overcoming depression the natural way
What is the reason why every winter season so many people get depressed and sad.
According to Center for Disease Control or CDC winter time has the highest rate
of depression because of the climate change. The days are shorter and the night is
longer. Most people who are vulnerable to depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD) need more light. The scientists thought that the sun gives the right amount of
heat to initiate movement of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Therefore, the sunlight plays a vital role in keeping our behavior normal. 


Predisposed people to depression or Seasonal Affactive Disorder (SAD) are adviced to have more sun exposure or keep their light on at home or take vitamin D. But they should be wary of the possibility of skin cancer due to over exposure to sunlight. What we really need to know is how to get enough heat from the sun for our well being. The ozone layer
which is supposedly protecting us from too much exposure from sunlight has been discovered to have a big hole. What we need to do now is to use topical cream or sunscreen lotion to protect our skin from being fried during hot summer day. This is not a problem though during winter.
Unfortunately, what winter brings to some people is loneliness, sadness, and a feeling of depression. In order to overcome depression or the feeling of sadness during winter season we need the following activites:
Join a health club Joining a health club will inspire us to do regular exercises. Physical exercises help eliminate dead cells in the brain and give birth to new cells. To be more technical about it, the neurotransmitters such as dopamine are responsible for physiological and mental reactions of people. Individuals with higher dopamine level are more interactive and sociable.

Of course, if you want to save money during winter and you don't want to join an expensive or even inexpensive health club you can find a friend who can walk or exercise with you on a regular basis and it will do the same benefit. 



If you are depressed and looking for natural way of fighting it you can use natural remedies that are readily available in many food supplement organic stores. If you can't sleep because of your anxiety you can use chamomile tea. This tea is known for calming and sleeping effect.
Another helpful natural product for mild anxiety is the St John's wort.
This is very popular among naturologists.

Finally, if your head is spinning and you feel as if you're losing control, take a deep breath and hold it as long as you can while reciting the a,b,c inversely. However, if sysmptoms persist consult your doctors.

Why I like Fanbox


What I like about Fanbox
There are many reasons why I like Fanbox
First of all, the most appealing thing about Fanbox is the overall vision that it promotes. Fanbox provide opportunities and venues to realize our greatest human potentials in knowledge creation and wealth creation. As a PhD student in psychology I can easily relate to the vision and mission of Fanbox. Knowledge creation is one of my top priorities as a budding scientist and
 Fanbox is in the forefront of this vision           .
 This is where the cradle of new civilization begins and the foundation for creating wealth as well. Without new knowledge there will be no development and improvement that the world needs. Diseases will escalate, poverty will spread, and human degradation will flourish without new knowledge. Fanbox encourages people to join in this revolution to be knowledge producers. I am now in the process of completing my PhD and I look forward to contributing something to the world in the field of mental health.  
Secondly, I like the love story of Fanbox, how Fanbox started, and triumphed.  I am learning a lot as I read different blogs about Fanbox, its humble beginning, leadership, and its orientation.  Fanbox has a great story to tell to the global community where human struggles are real and victories highlighted. The sensitivity of Fanbox to the geopolitical, sociological, economic, and technological movement helps the members to be prepared in any eventuality. This is human empowerment.
I think, this is critical to any existing online organization that involves human dynamics and global engagement if it is going to survive and thrive. The humble beginning of Fanbox touches every human soul that longs for success and meaning. Struggling, lowly, and humble people can easily relate to the story of Fanbox. It gives inspiration and hope. In spite of its setbacks, in the past, Fanbox came out as the winner. I believe, each one of us has humble beginning. For example, in my case, I came from a very poor family with eleven children. We were renting our place and we had been moving from one place to another. We don’t even own a bicycle.  My father was the only bread winner when I was growing up. Although my mother tried her best to augment the meager income of my father by cooking; life was hard and tough.
 At an early age I learned to sell corn on the street of Manila until high school just to help the family. I turned in to my mother the twenty pesos I earned for a day. I sold vegetables in the wet market also. I remember, when my mother and I were being chased by the cops simply because we were selling vegetables and ready to wear (RTW) on the sidewalk. There were days that we would return home with nothing because we used the hard earned money bailing ourselves out from the jail. 
 I can still vividly recall when I was all alone selling corn in front of the University of the East, in Manila, and the police came and hauled every vendor they have caught to their mobile patrol. I was just seven years old then and I was one of them, unfortunately. When we arrived at the police station and the officer seated behind the type writer saw me and told me to simply leave. I guess, they don’t want to feed a hungry and poor seven year old boy in their jail. Of course, I still have many more heart breaking experiences but by the grace of God was able to overcome them.
At present I am now living here in United States with my family. My son recently graduated from UCLA last year and is now working as a part time manager in a small restaurant in Los Angeles. My daughter on the other hand is third year high school.  I’m blessed to have a wife who works as a nurse at Imperial County Health Department.  Well, this is my humble beginning. Fanbox is like my own success story that’s why I easily gravitated into it.

The third reason why I’m attracted me to Fanbox is because of its concern for the welfare of the people which is helping charitable causes.
 Helping charitable causes is my passion because I am a product of charity myself. The hospital who treated me to escape death from a ruptured appendicitis when I was 12 years old didn’t charge my parents a single cent. The church that adopted me and sent me to schools with all the scholarships showed me charity. And even the life I now live is because of the charitable contribution of people. I am able to eat good food, feed my family, and send my children to school, travel and go to places I want to go because of the financial support I receive from the church which I presently serve. Fanbox orientation is laudable and worth emulating.
On top of helping charitable causes, I’m also passionate in sharing my faith to others which is the love of God in Christ Jesus. 
I believe that Jesus is the greatest example of all in living a life full of joy. Whenever I share my faith journey to people I always point them to Jesus Christ because he is the only one who can give life everlasting and super abundant life, which I believe, he did to me.
Jesus said, “The thief comes but the steal, to kill, and to destroy. But I come that you might have life and might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10.
I am passionate sharing of my faith not only because I am a pastor and that is my job, obviously, but because I truly believe that when people turn their lives over to Jesus Christ they will find hope, meaning, and purpose for their existence. They will find the answer to their questions and become more productive member of the society and the world at large.
I believe Fanbox is very much related to this profound promised of Jesus. Fanbox serves as a conduit, as a see it, in realizing the dream of having a super abundant life. For instance, enabling people to earn at Fanbox with unlimited earning potentials has allowed many members to fulfill their dreams.
Some of them testified that through Fanbox they were able to purchase their dream home, paid off their debts, and live comfortable lives. I too, am passionate about becoming debt free. I have tons of student loans, credit cards, and mortgages that I need to take care of. After I have read the blog of Johnny Cash about earning a lot of money at Fanbox the more I became interested. I can’t deny that.
 Fanbox offers different ways of earning money. Members can earn through blogging, selling products, categorizing and rating, boosting, and advertizing. However, one of the tips I received about Fanbox is not to focus on earning but on how develop our creativity and to help people find their niche in this world. Unlike Facebook, Fanbox rewards members for their hard work. I think, Fanbox is the only one that offers the easiest online or internet home based business opportunity that does not require creating websites, nor ask payment for leads. Instead, Fanbox even walked a second mile by lending money to the newcomers. This is no brainer as the saying goes.
To be honest, when I first joined Fanbox I didn’t know that I’m going to earn money here at all. I thought that this was just one of those ordinary and simple social networkings like Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter. Little did I know the potential earning that any member can get by joining Fanbox.  I was delightfully surprised when I saw the money the money coming in. I was informed by Fanbox staff that I earned $450 last month. I started sharing this to some of my friends in the church and one of them could not believe it because she earned more than $700 just in three weeks after she joined.
As a pastor, I love to help people who are in need financially and helping them in some concrete ways. Fanbox now has become one of the tools that I can freely use to assist people find a worthwhile income generating social networking activity.  By simply posting an article or a blog, placing ads, boosting, categorizing and rating a post, and advertizing other people’s products one can earn handsomely. Where can you find that? Only at Fanbox!
I admit that I still need to do something to develop my writing skill. I am glad that Fanbox is here to help us improve our ability to write. Since I wanted to improve my communication skills in writing I thought Fanbox is the place to be. It’s funny though, that at the beginning, when I started posting my well thought research paper from my school at Fanbox the machine rejected most of them. I don’t know why. Nonetheless, after reading the blog of other members at Fanbox I had an epiphany.
 I realized that I don’t have to be scientific in my writing because majority of my readers are common people who just wanted to read practical and user friendly information such as how to lose weight, to be healthy, wealthy, and happy. It dawned on me that Fanbox would really encourage members to keep their writing at par, at least, to gain a much wider readership.  The more people read my blog the more I earn. Now, I have been receiving comments from fellow Fanbox users and many of them became my fans.
 Everyday, I do my routine, read an inspirational book in the morning, listen to an inspiring talk, meditate, and observe the life of people that way I can draw my message for the following Sunday. I love reading books that talk about health and wellness. I’m curious about new discoveries on how to fight mental illness, depression, and cancer. As a PhD student in clinical psychology I wanted to be abreast of what’s going on in the field of mental health.  I also like reading the books of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, “The Power of Positive Thinking.” I see to it that I exercise every morning and in the evening for 45 minutes to an hour. Of course, everyday, I logon to my Fanbox account and interact with people by posting an article or categorizing and rating them, placing ads, boosting, liking products, or simply reading and responding to a post.
Right now, I have two students whom I train how to familiarize Fanbox operations so that they can enjoy the maximum benefit from it. Fanbox definitely filling the needs of a lot of people and I will not be surprised if Fanbox will create more millionaires.
Finally, I like Fanbox because of the personal touch to all its members through coaching approach. Success coaches are provided to new comers, like me, to make sure that they too will become successful. I am blessed and thankful to have MJ as my success coach. She is ever ready like a battery. Every time I have a question she is there for me, guiding me, coaching me, leading me, and inspiring me. I look forward to more enjoyable years to come with Fanbox.
