Medicine for Depression 🌱
This week I've been feeling very down in the dumps. I've got my reasons, my obstacles and my real life stresses but I also know that feeling bad doesn't help me overcome those obstacles.
So, today I took the day to be outside doing yard work. There were 1000 more "important" tasks I could have done... should have done even.
But making the time to be outside and doing physical work for a while is what I needed...not what I wanted to do...not what I felt like doing but what I needed to do.
It was uncomfortable, hard work. It was cold and wet outside. I was digging up old rusted fencing that was buried in the ground and tangled in vines. I worked on building garden beds and trimming trees. And now I'm exhausted and nothing else on my "to do" list got done...but, I feel a whole lot better.
Don't underestimate the power of time to yourself, fresh air, manual labor and sunshine - even if that sun is filtered through the dull, gray clouds of winter.🥰👍🌱
