We human beings are designed to experience the full range of human emotions and not just the ones that we deem happy or bright or positive.

Hey, it's Marie Forleo and welcome to another episode of Marie TV and the Marie Forleo podcast.

And this is a Q&A Tuesday.

So I saw a comment on Instagram a little while ago and I thought it was so lovely and it would

be perfect for today's show.

So let me read you what Joanna said.

Marie, I have a question. How do you go about your

daily life and be brave when you feel depressed or unmotivated? Do you just push yourself and

smile through the pain? I see all influencers like you or Tony Robbins or Oprah or celebrities

on camera working and seeming great and happy. When I'm down,

I can't always put a smile on my face for my client. Sometimes I'm stuck in bed for days because

of a fight with a loved one has put me in a bad state. Please share your wisdom because of all

of you well-known people seem to have a secret to functioning through hard times, unless I'm

missing something. Hope you see this big heart. So, Joanna, the reason I wanted to tackle this question is because

I don't think we've ever talked about this before on the show. Now, I cannot speak for Tony or

Oprah or anyone else. So everything I want to share in today's episode is about my own personal experience.

And what I particularly do may or may not work for you.

And the other thing I want to say about depression and anxiety or any difficult times

for everyone out there, you know, you have to do what works for you, whether that includes

therapy, medication, meditation, exercise,

any combination of modalities that helps you heal and be the best person that you can be.

There is no shame in any of that game.
