I like to Move it Move it
so A lightbulb literally went off in my head and I began moving every day and am realising its the best thing for my mental health. I spent the last three years in a clinical depression stuck in my house mainly in bed not functioning and now Im walking or swimming each day. I feel calmer and content.... my thoughts arent as dark or ugly anymore. I find swimming more solitary where I can watch my thoughts.... think about random things, focus on my stroke or just watch the sun dancing in rainbows through the water. Walking theres always people and dogs I come across. When I first started I could only look down now Im noticing the trees and flowers and dogs and people. A little more practicing social engagemenmt without conversatons and people demanding my attention. I feeel more connected to the land, water , plants and animals perhaps in the future I can be more connected with humans too.
