I can see both sides here. If you're depressed,it isnt going to change your situation if you drink a ton of water and go for a walk. When you come back home,your problems are still there and soon after your mood will go back down in the dumps again. A walk is only temporary. But i also see everyone else's side too,nothing is an immediate fix,and every little thing helps,it all adds up.
I have never been clinically depressed,although i am far from 100% happy...but i think if you focused more on being in nature and calming your life down (not watching tv as much,not being online as much,not talking on the phone as much,not rushing here and there and worry about not having enough time),it will gradually calm your mind and then you can HEAR your soul telling you what it needs. If you have access to nature,like go sit by a lake,alone,watch animals,go sit in the middle of a bunch of trees...humans were not meant to be engulfed in all this technology and media and fast paced impersonal interactions with other people,we think we are the things we own,we think we are our thoughts...we are not. And we only find out who we are when we let go of material things,outside stimuli,and the clutter of our minds.  |
