A Morning Routine to Manage Depression
http://www.everydayhealth.com/health...epression.aspx
Quote:
~Five minutes of stretching as soon as she gets out of bed. “It’s something small and not overwhelming,” she says, and it gives her energy.
~Waking up her kids and helping them get ready.
~Showering and dressing.
~Talking to her mother on the phone. Part of her motivation to get earlier tasks done in the morning is so she'll have enough time for a half-hour talk with her mom, who lives in another time zone. They’ve found that early mornings are the best time for them to talk, and having that daily connection is a big part of what helps her fight depression.
~Eating breakfast and drinking coffee. She has two scrambled eggs rather than a carb-heavy meal.
~Taking her depression medication. Taking her antidepressant at the start of each day is one of the most important aspects of her morning routine.
~Fifteen minutes of meditation once her kids are at school.
