I can’t ask for a better time and better support to seriously focus on my depression.
In my initial progress, I’m able to so far work on the followings:
- Swim for at least an hour Monday, Wednesday and Friday
- Go to yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday
- Volunteer at my friend’s elementary school for two hours on Thursday
- Every day work on a healthy and tasty dinner for my husband and I
- Every day spend some time practicing mindfulness (I find it easy to focus on my breath when I swim. I’ve also started to practice mindfulness when I try to sleep but so far I’m still battling.)
- Every day take all of my supplements.
- Every day spend some time relaxing. But try not to be addicted to watching Chinese soap opera.
- Every day accept the amount and quality of sleep I get and not get pissed off about my sleep.
- Every day spend time reading the self help books I’m reading and think about self actualization and how to get in touch with my consciousness/Being/self.
- Stay in touch with my support system (friends I met in the hospital who also fight depression)
- Tell all recruiters I won’t be available for work until after May.
Great job, Hon!
So great! Good for you, keep it up. I’m so glad you are able to take this time off to focus on your well being.
