What Helped On A Daily Basis - Mild depression
Self-care really helped - making the effort to bathe everyday, shampoo and take good care of hair, a regular skin care regime, reading schedule sort of started translating into more positive feelings. Earlier i was too tuned in on the bad feelings and ignoring what needed to be done for me - the fix wasnt people or situations, the peace is within me and that feeling of inner satisfaction. Routine too is ironically an effort thats worth the effort.
@HopeBehindtheVeil23 This is amazing, thank you for sharing and I'm glad you're on your way to a better, more at peace you <3
@HopeBehindtheVeil23 - Thankyou so much for posting this! I'm really happy to here just how much self-care has helped you
You've written this so beautifully, and you're absolutely right! Sometimes the fix can be found within ourselves - so honestly, thankyou so incredibly much for sharing this
Thank you for replying :) Yep I took tiny steps - simply starting out with better regular hair care and eventually started building up to skin care, regular reading...getting off the laptop after 9:30 pm and keeping dimmer yellow lights after dinner, settling down with a book helped immensely. I didnt really have a goal in mind when i started this except the realization i was neglecting myself for years and its time i made more effort to really relax in my own company...
These days i am able to wake up by 6:30 am finally :D
I finally figured out a way to sleep off by 11 pm - earlier i was sleeping at 3 am or later and always tired when i woke up. As a night owl, I used to feel it was a waste to sleep that early but now i see the difference - more mental clarity and refreshed feeling. It made a world of difference to energy to sleep at the normal time - the answer is hormonal it seems and has helped my productivity and moods a lot.
Well I will keep doing my best to stay healthy :)
@HopeBehindtheVeil23
How did you manage to start sleep early?
Im glad you are feeling better!
For me it's a matter of radically accepting my feelings and making wise mind decisions.
