Advice #3 Depression

Breath Babe... try to remember…and accept that deep inside your “Self”, despite it all, is a granule of Hope...and the Knowledge that at some point soon, things will improve.
 

To deny this, is to willfully surrender and nourish the Bleakness; and with moments spent in self flagellation, neglect and mental hyperventilating, rob yourself of Time better spent in joyful and/or productive pursuits.
 

This is part of the condition… to make a lover of fallaciously endless, stoic yet self perpetuating depression…almost indulgently, luxuriantly… while simultaneously knowing and denying that in some future moment you’ll enjoy laughter and a lightening of the soul once again.

It is all part of the journey – embrace this as you should all things…learn from it what you are meant to learn - acknowledge, resolve and release  – the wiser for it.
 

Breath ... do something you haven't taken the time to do in years.  Do something creative, relaxing, energizing or daring.


…the Spark will ignite as you remember those simplest of things ever within your reach, worthy of Joy.
