The main cause of depression (well for me anyway) is over thinking and wondering about what could and should happen in the future. This creates scenarios that, let’s be honest, have a 0% chance of happening most of the times.

I blame this on the way society has adapted this “always-in-a-rush” mindset. We live in an era where we cannot afford to waste time. We live in a time where sleep is considered unimportant, as work must come first.

Being human means that we adapt to change and evolve. But is evolving and adapting to change always a good thing.

I encourage you to look at children. Observe how they go about during the day. They live in the moment. They do not wake up every day thinking about everything that needs to be done and what tomorrow holds.

Children live in the moment. One second they might want to play with toys, the next they are running outside to play on the swing set. Children can get sad and experience negative emotions but when picturing a child you immediately think of a smiling little human being running around. Children do not constantly worry about problems.

I for one believe there is a lot that we can learn from children. They live a simpler life than we adults do but if we learn to adapt the mindset of the children or get our children to stay living in the moment then the world would seem a breeze.
