11 Ways To Find a Belief System That's Right For You (A Way To Combat The Negative Effects of Depression and Anxiety)

Hey guys! So, I grew up believing what my parents believed and most likely you did too. But most of us on here are now adults and now that we know more about the reality of life, it can make us question those beliefs and question things about life itself. Sometimes, instead of putting us on a more enlightened path, it just confuses us even more! How frustrating with all the religions out there! I am writing about this because having a belief sytem and devoting ourselves strongly to it, is one tool that we can use to fight the depresison and anxiety that plagues us everyday. It is a way of keep our mental faculties strong and grounded. I hope that if you feel lost in life right now, this guide can help you find a belief system that is as unique as you are, gives you peace, and enhances your soul.

1. Resonance. Does the belief system's doctrine resonate with something deep inside you? Does it "ring a bell?"

2. Does it believe in something that you are you passionate about? Become an activist and Take up the Cause!

3.Does it make you feel powerful and more in control of your life?

4. Does it make you feel grounded and worthy, with both feet planted firmly to the earth?

5. Does it involve accessible ingredients/objects for Rituals and Symbolism? (No Joining the We Get Rocks From the Moon Church)

6. Does it feel Truthful and like you've always known that this was your Truth?

7. Does it Answer maybe some of your existential questions? (Why are we here, Why do bad things happen?)

8. Does it have a good likelihood of connecting you with others who believe the same? (Does it have a community "feel?")

9. Does it make you want to know more, example; Its history and how it originated?

10. Is it safe for your mental and physical health? (No destructive cults)

11. Does it stand for things you Value? (Has a good, open attitude regardless of race, is family-oriented, takes good care of its members?)

And for those with no belief system; that is OK, too! Because that is a belief system in and of itself. (You BELIEVE that a belief system is unneccessary, you would rather write your own Destiny than study it from the stars, etc.)

Good luck to you all!!
