home remedies 08/24/2009
 
I'm dragging my way through a heavy funk... so here (in no particular order) are some of my home remedies for depression.
  • yoga
  • good food - home made is best & it keeps me occupied making something
  • drink lots of water
  • time with Baby N - being his obstacle course; watching Blue's Clues together
  • time with L - listening to him over morning coffee; sitting together at the end of the day
  • practice gratitude - remember & name the good things
  • keep a routine
  • wear comfy clothes & shoes
  • log the evidence of the positive - photos, completed "to do" lists, emails from friends
  • do something for someone else - try on someone else's point of view & emotion then respond,  send a note or money or show up or...
  • light a candle - my prayers are stuck deep inside of me
  • go to church - be with folks who make no demands of me; witness their faith
  • kindreds & inspirers - I'm really careful about what I read & look at these days... I've found some wonderful blogs that serve up breadcrumbs for the way out of these woods
What gets you through?  & keeps you connected?
