Enjoy the earth. You do not have to go too far to see some amazing things.
Everything we need is somewhere on this earth. Most are in your backyard or parks. Medicine is started with plants. The earth heals us.
Go outside and feel the sun on your face. Chew on some grasses. Feel the breeze. Small things can make a high difference.
Sit in the sun for a while. Everytime I have blood work done I am low in Vitamin D. I take a supplement everyday and enjoy the outdoors, too. I also take Vitamin C and an all round multi vitamin. It helps with energy.
If you need a new obsession to help get your mind off depression, you can’t go wrong with the outdoors. Take your shoes off and walk barefoot on the earth. This is called grounding. The earth helps you heal.
Start really looking at what is around you. Even if it’s weeds and cement you can find things in it to watch. Maybe sometime you can plant a flower or tree. Get your hands in the soil.
The earth is a fascinating place. It will move and change even if you’re not watching, so look at it. Even ants are amazing workers.
As you can tell from my blog posts, I love animals. My first obsession was with dogs. After I came home from the Asthmatic Home I told my mom and do that I wanted to get a Chihuahua. Mom said fine, your allowance is a dollar a week. Just a few days later I came home with a tiny puppy. My Mom asked how did I do that and I said, a dollar down and a dollar a week!
That was just the start of my life with animals. I have almost always had a dog. I feel lost without one.
Maybe you don’t like dogs or cats, but you do like flowers. Go for it! If you don’t have room for a garden, get pots. You can still garden fruits, vegetables and flowers.
If you do like animals, you may want to check into Service Animals. You can take them anywhere. Especially if you have a lot of anxiety with your depression.
Think outside the box. Find a reason to get out of bed in the mornings. Once you start it gets easier to keep going. One pot and one plant is a great way to start.
Sit in the sun to warm your soul.
You can live with depression. Now go around it in your mind. You can do it and you are worth it, always!!
