I've learned that my mood is very fragile, very temporary like the breeze on my face. I can ignore it because it has no value. example-I have to mow the yard today. How will I go about it to make the least work out of it?-do the front first and even the back tomorrow? Running in circles with reasoning. I find once I start something all that planning goes away and I do the whole thing. So I've learned to ignore this planning thinking. If I just get up and walk around the room my mood will begin to change. You don't have to undertake any tedious task. Then I find if I'm busy doing something I feel better-and it doesn't even have to be anything worthwhile. I've been through 40 years of serious depression but now at most there's just a lingering lethargy or habit of approaching goals. I feel great most of the time and have a lot of energy.
