Have you found that light exercise improves your mood overall? After too long sitting on my rump, I feel much more alert, engaged, and happy. I've learned, with your help, not to over-do it. That has made all the difference, and I thank all of you so much for that. Yesterday, I took a break. That sounds so simple, but it took your telling me to do it to see the value in it. Taking a very short break before you go beyond the point of no return means you can keep going and then feel pretty good after, too! Should I admit to being awed by that simple truth at my advanced age? How did I live this long being so stupid? Haha
I'm not suggesting that exercise will cure clinical depression. Please don't think I'm saying that. Getting the right amount of exercise really does improve everything, though. It's difficult to slow down and accept the new limitations, and I spent too long thinking that I had to do more than I could for it to have any real value. But once I accepted it, wow!
This is why peer-to-peer boards are so valuable, and why saying the same positive things over and over again isn't wasted energy. I've been here for years, and I finally "heard" what you've been saying. ❤️
