After struggling with feeling a bit stuck, I managed to make it out for another walk today. All on my own. It seemed to go by a bit faster today than it did yesterday. I wasn't as anxious going into it, which is nice. The music definitely helps. And the sunshine.
The more I read about recovering from depression, the more I see that exercise and sleep regulation are key. I need to work on my eating habits a bit as I tend not to know when I'm hungry and then wait until I'm too hungry to eat. Years of not listening to my body have broken that part of me that knows you're supposed to try and get three good meals in a day...When I was on the road working a lot or juggling school and work, I tended to eat maybe once or twice a day. If I remembered... I will keep taking the steps toward being healthier. Little by little. One thing at a time.
