- In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shares a very important spiritual principle--what when we are on the spiritual path, all of our experiences, even the negative ones, end up working working for our highest and greatest good.
I use my personal life to illustrate this principle. The original date for my hip replacement surgery was unexpectedly canceled at the last minute and rescheduled a month later. I was absolutely grief stricken, but this delay led me to encounter many healing opportunities over the next four weeks that would not have occurred otherwise. Something greater than myself was looking out for me.

I am facing the greatest challenge in my life at present and in the coming weeks. I suffer from anxiety and depression and other ailments and it has me literally climbing the walls looking for a way out. Unfortunately there is no way out and I will just have to go through the process. This video offers me some hope. Wish me well and bless you for your kindness.
Will be praying for you my friend. Have courage, be strong, you are not alone. 🙏
Look for Doug on CZcams on Sunday 1 pm mountain pacific time for live streaming. He takes one Sunday off, forget which week. It’s a real positive community. He also has a site on the internet, can’t remember the title. Very sorry to hear that your going through so much right now. Tomorrow I won’t follow Doug because we are getting a puppy at that time. Doug has so many absolutely fantastic CZcams videos on mental health, so grateful you found him. Please take care of yourself ❤️
I believe you can make. it.
Mopantsu, you are not alone, I'm in the same hell...keep going
Hello my friend
Are you in a better place now?
How is your anxiety and depression?
I am going also through horrible time.
Yes, and when one area of your life isn't going well don't minimize other areas that are going well. For instance my career not going well doesn't mean that I can't be good husband, father etc or not enjoy upcoming holiday because one iof one area of my life is not going well. Hard to do at the time, but wise perspective
when we realize this.
Good insight.
Douglas, keep shining the light that is within you. God has blessed you this ministry.
Romans 8:28 ►
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
That is the verse I based this entire video on, but I didn't want to quote it directly because some people are sensitive about biblical references. But it's one of my favorite quotes in the Bible.
A very meaningful and special quote!☘️🕊️💖
Wishing you a speedy recovery and get well soon 🙏
Thank you so much for the Silent Unity mention. I made my first call tonight and hearing the support was wonderful.
Yes, they are a lovely organization
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Thanks Suzanne. I love that quote. Are use it in week one of my better mood recovery program in my book healing from depression
Hi , this is Lisa from Canada. Am very excited today because tomorrow at 1pm we are getting a puppy, a Lassie, rough Collie. A whole stream of events that I hope work in our favour. I hope it’s a good decision, it’s a huge commitment. So nice to see you here, it’s like meeting an old friend out of the blue. For some reason I can’t chat on these CZcams comments if a person wants to have a conversation with me. So am sorry we can’t chat, like I want to. Be well, peace be with you. ❤️❤️❤️
Great video Douglas(George)I'm catching up!Stay well!
So glad I found your channel
Great stuff Doug.
My mom used to say this to me. She looked back on her life and could see it was true, then she read it in a book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and it was confirmed. Now you are confirming it for me. Blessings
The power of the subconscious mind is a classic self-help book.
Dr Bloch, thank you for your help. I discovered your channel in a very difficult time in my life, and after more than a decade of ruination I've managed to start improving my life. I don't know where it will lead me, but i hope it will last.
I’m glad you were feeling better. Keep doing what you were doing and take it one day at a time.
Thank you for sharing this Douglas! & I hear you! ❤️
You're welcome.
Great video Doug, remembering that there is always hope and to never give up helped to keep me going when I was at my worst. As long as we keep breathing there is hope. Great work Doug, thank you.
Thanks Mike. We should chat on the phone and catch up. I had major hip surgery in August in case you haven't been following my recent videos
@@DouglasBloch Yes, I’ll reach out. I didn’t know you had the surgery yet. Hope you’re doing well.
"Your most important resource in life is your outlook on Life" what a epiphania, tks Goodness!
Super insightful thanks Douglas🙏💖
Thanks Rachel
thank you so so much. i am very grateful i stumbled upon your channel and this video in particular too.
You are more than welcome Natasha
I feel lot of heaviness in brain like brain fog, confusion and anxiety I am on medications still it's not going away fully
Depression does that to the brain. Have you reached out to a mental health professional?
@@DouglasBloch
Movement Rupal and increase water intake.
Great story on staying focused on a positive outcome. See you tomorrow on live chat...
Sitting here and listening to what you went through,and how you had a friend Alert you to the benefits of the barriers that came up just before surgery,I am pausing to appreciate this time of my life to Not have to rush about madly as when my children were young,and take care of other people. That period of time burned me out into such a depression after loved ones passed on because I didn't allow myself to feel too much then!! It is like being in a type of battle. You sometimes have no time to do anything but act. Thinking too much at the time of crisis can be halting and tender one helpless. On another note,glad you got your hip fixed! Hope everything is still improving!! This video popped up now on its' own w/ algorithms,so am late to know about it!☘️🕊️
Glad you found it Loren. Always good to hear from you. My views are going down, so I would appreciate it if you could give the video a "like."
Righteo!😺👍👍I always hit the like button,so it is done!
thank you Douglas so many blockage but outlook is awesome.
Thank you so much for all your efforts🤗
It's my pleasure
Yes this is a ripple blessing for many future generations.
We getting a puppy tomorrow, Sunday. A Rough Collie. Love you lots ❤️
Good luck!!
Blessings on you in Jesus Mighty Name, dear Brother!
People have the same physiology as they did during the caveman days. People's bodies weren't designed for 21st century life and the amount of stress that comes with it.
Hydrocortisone or else Cortisol which is a type of glucocorticoid from stress over a long period of time causes brain damage.
Some things can help with depression.
Exercise- a 30 minute fast walk 3 times a week.
Sleep - get about 8 hours of sleep a night.
Socialization - self explanatory
Light - expose yourself to at least 30 minutes of daylight a day. Also turn off all televisions and all lights before sleeping.
Omega 3 and Omega 6 - Omega 3 is anti-inflammatory and includes ALA, EPA and DHA. Omega 6 is pro-inflammatory and includes LA, GLA and AA.
The ideal diet is 2 parts Omega 6 to 1 part Omega 3. The typical North American diet is composed of 20 parts Omega 6 to 1 part Omega 3!
Fish has Omega 3 and Omega 6. I don't know how to implement this in my life. I'll take my chances with whatever I'm eating and in whatever amounts.
Nature, walking on the woods, parks - the air in nature has probiotic bacteria and is good for health and for dealing with depression.*
The coronavirus mask can inhibit this. It's good that if one is alone or not with too many people to take off the coronavirus mask.

I agree.
Thanks Douglas!
You're welcome. I am also a Pisces
I'm glad all the apparent set backs with your hip surgery and recovery have actually worked in your favor. Personally I suppose I should be grateful for what I have good health etc... but I still resent those who hurt me in the past and doubt if I'll ever get to a place where I'm free of that resentment. Anyway hope your back on the bike and making excellent progress and remember the body is a temple worship well and take care.
Thanks for your good wishes. Sorry for your past hurts. Forgiveness is a hard thing.
Great Video
I'm glad the video is helpful.
I love Silent Unity.
That makes two of us.
You may think that all good things are happening for a purpose. You can think that even if it's not true in reality. Awm
1:18 words to live by
Silent Unity works.
Wow thank you so much Douglas for this! “The key to living: To put the most helpful frame of reference on whatever you experience so that it works for you instead of against you.” I had to rewind the video to capture this profound outlook you shared. I am going to be using this statement with all the things I see as disadvantages in my life! Truly grateful this video was recommended to me! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
By the way, there's a term that gives your name to the idea of putting the most helpful frame of reference you can on whatever you experience. It's called "reframing," is taken from A branch of psychology called "neurolinguistic programming." You might want to read about it
Oh so now Douglas comes live on Saturdays?
This is not exactly live. Although I am chatting with you the video was pre-recorded. My live chats where I am in the present moment or Sundays at noon Pacific time
