Today's Energy Elevator shares a beautiful poem by Abdullah Shoaib called "Pretty Ugly." Similar to the "Worst Day Ever" poem, this poem shows the power of reframing and positive thinking. When read in one direction, negativity and shame takes over. When read in another direction, positivity, love, and confidence shines through. How will you speak to yourself today?

In honor of October being National Depression and Health Screening Month, this week's Energy Elevator is a meditation to help alleviate depression through use of positive affirmation, cognitive challenging, and cognitive refocusing.
"You are not your feelings. You just experience them. Anger, sadness, hate, depression, fear. This is the rain you walk in. But you don’t become the rain. You know the rain will pass. You walk on. And you remember the soft glow of the sun that will come again." - Matt Haig
