If you are experiencing any of these, then focusing on the now will help reduce the depression/anxiety.
That's also the basis of mindfulness: being in the now and appreciating the now for what it is. Youtube mindfulness and I'm sure you'll find heaps of resources that can help you out.
Even simple things like finding a nice spot in the sun to sit and enjoy the moment can help pick up you spirits.

Thanks for those tips. It looks like I suffer from both Anxiety and Depression. But I will be focusing more on the now to try and control things. See how that goes.
