How to beat depression like a drum!

05/31/2019

#1 Do what you want to.

What makes you happy?

Surfing, Skateboarding, Flying, Drumming, Singing, etc…

Make some time to do that especially if it is something you can share. Be careful of selfish things that make you feel as if you are doing something. Don’t get consumed, let it flow

#2 Do not let anyone change your attitude.

If you don’t like what someone’s doing then call them on it.

Just be careful not to get involved with other people’s need’s.

You could end up doing what you did not intend to

Being who you want to be means not letting others upset you or make you do what you would not want to do. This does mean to replace kindness with weakness. Quite the other way. It takes strength to let it pass, move on and forgive and forget.

#3 Learn Self Defense

Some of the loudest jerks (and jerket’s, lol) are because they need to prove something to themselves. This is dangerous, when you are unsure of your self you can overreact and make the littlest thing in to a life or death situation.

True story,

A group of friends showed up at my rehearsal room and one of the girls asked if she could play my drums. I agreed, then she beat the drums (like someone trying to prove something, lol) so I grabbed the sticks out of her hands and said, this is how you play the drums. As I turned around I saw two fists flying my direction. I grabbed the wrists and said “Chill Out!” and let go. He lunged again and I ended up on top of him however, he had his arm around my neck. I said “Let go and this never happened ”, to which he replied “I am gonna kill you!” I broke free and hit him once. He laid there knocked out for what seemed like eternity. Lucky for me he woke up and left peacefully. I felt so bad thinking I killed him. Even if he deserved it, I felt terrible.

What this taught me though is that you can kill with your hand’s, without even trying. So I have stayed calm even while being jumped and simply grabbed the opponents wrists or arm and let them know. You cannot hurt me so don’t even try. It has worked so far, so am I weak for refusing to hit someone? I don’t think so 🙂

#4 Exercise

Walk, run, swim, ride, climb, get out and get active. If your snowed in then run in place.

Do not push yourself, ease into it. The fastest drum chops are practiced slowly. The highest jumps start by feeling the ramp. etc, etc…

#5 Make Something

Create a great meal to share, write a song, a poem, a blog. If you don’t, you could become a vampire. Feeding off other’s creativity.

Be the light that sparks a fire in another

#6 Don’t Go To Extreme’s

If you are too passive you may give away your soul.

If you are too stiff you could break.

Speak up if you feel something is not right.

Back down if you feel yourself getting angry

As soon as you get angry you loose

#7 Pay It Forward

Do the best you can every chance

#8 Don’t Should on Yourself

What you say can effect your life.

Be kind in your observations of other’s, this will make you kind to yourself

Do not hang out with negative people, you may get in to a competition!

#9 Live in the moment

You can never redo this moment so make the best of it.

#10 Live by Your Word

Integrity can build fortune’s

Mistrust can destroy it

#11 Keep things temporary and specific.

You can make temporary incident’s in to permanent and pervasive with words like Always and forever, or never.

sample’s:

I am always late

You are never on time

Get it?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I finally got tired of hosting my site with Godaddy and being nickled and dimed for so many things that arent even necessary.  I was lucky enough to find Zen Web Media. Not only did they make the transition easy they are always very responsive and helpful any time I need it. They are simply the best!  I highly recommend their services.

From start to finish, Jose's level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail was unmatched. One of the things that stood out to me the most was his ability to take my vision and turn it into a reality. Jose listened carefully to my ideas and made thoughtful suggestions to enhance the overall design and user experience of the website. Not only did Jose create a beautiful website that accurately represented my brand, but he also ensured that it was fully functional and easy to navigate. He took the time to test everything thoroughly, making sure that the site worked perfectly on all devices and browsers. Jose's communication throughout the process was exceptional, and he was always responsive to my questions and concerns. He provided regular updates and delivered the final product on time and within budget. Overall, I cannot recommend Zen Web Media enough. Jose's talent, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly impressive, and I am thrilled with the end result. If you're looking for a designer who can bring your vision to life, Zen Web Media is the one to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jose is one of a kind. Not only has he produced exactly the web presence I wanted, but within my budget. Rare indeed. His response time to any questions is usually less than 24hrs. I love having a local webmaster and hosting service after years of dealing with those mega-magillas (you know the ones) who didn't know the meaning of customer service. I've learned so much from Jose. Yes, he can do it all "behind the scenes" but he's provided me with the tools to keep my site updated at will. He also cleaned up my computer and gave me a fresh start when it was riddled with viruses and other nasty stuff. He's a no-nonsense, honest, and friendly guy who has a solution for your media and computer challenges. And he has a wicked sense of humor. ;) Highly recommend without hesitation.

It took him a matter of HOURS to fix and return my iMac in pristine condition when other companies took WEEKS to tell me they didn't have the answer. If you relate in any way to the story below, you need to turn to Jose with Zen Web Media for help: My iMac gave me the pinwheel of death one morning and then wouldn't turn back on after I manually shut it down. Panicked, I drove straight to the Apple store (my computer only being 2 years old, refurbished) and after being charged $200, I got my iMac a WEEK later with (supposedly) a brand new hard drive disk installed. I lost everything when it was scrubbed, which bummed me out, but luckily most of my files were backed up. It was when I went on the internet for the first time that I figured out my antivirus was deleted in the Apple restoration. I was being bombarded anytime I clicked on anything by dangerous-looking pop-ups. I couldn't figure out how to get protected. So I called an IT guy, registered to fix these kind of situations. He came over, and after an hour and a half - not to mention an additional $50 - he seemed to have done nothing but click the same settings over and over. Upon my next internet browse, ads galore. Finally, Jose took my computer in. I wish I had just done this in the first place!!! He returned my computer within 48 hours and I haven't had one problem with it since. Jose was also extremely helpful with my questions, such as browsing options and downloading apps, due to my general lack of tech knowledge. I would point anyone in Jose's direction if you're in San Diego! Thank you again, Jose!
