One way out of any type of slump, which will seem very counterintuitive at first, is to take on more responsibilities !
Staying productively busy is more therapeutic then just about anything.
Gardening is supposed to be the best treatment for mental health. It teaches a decent respect for Life as we should all have, and it is a fundamental education that gives you more and more information everyday.
More responsibilities, like I just got a puppy so my Luna would have a life friend other than myself, and so more responsibilities again,, can keep us busy and out of our own heads where we can be dangerous to ourselves at times.
It's okay to step outside of your normal world and try something new. That can be a huge spark which acts as a catalyst to properly balance the chemistry within and it's always exciting to expand your horizons forever, as every day offers such Bountiful gifts.
Personally, I think God 4 the ability to slowly step up to bat again. I have been out of life for a while addressing my health and making incredible gains. Like anything there's the yin and the yang. It's not always easy when you have to walk a tightrope but it's important to stay focused Within and spiritually balanced.
I've taken other responsibilities, often much larger than I should, because it seems to stimulate the adrenaline and kind of causes a good stress and I know I have to take care of stuff so to speak.
Heating with wood is a good example, as I have to load the wood stove up ever so often and I am gaining stamina each day it seems and returning to Old form after several ass kicking 4 several months. I have a ton of other responsibilities and more projects than any single person could handle. I have gathered a million puzzle pieces and now I'm going to put these puzzles together, and I was going to say if it kills me but I'm not trying to go there fast.
It's very humbling in life when we understand the perspective of finality. It's at times like this you make a choice within that you are either going to be responsible and an adult or you're going to go about on your childish ways and never be able to fend for yourself, never be able to provide for yourself, always at somebody else's whim. Each choice made in life that follows with action comes with some type of consequence, sometimes great, and sometimes with very powerful negative impacts, even at the greatest cost to any being at times tragically.
This is a beautiful Journey with the climbs up the mountains that are stressful and difficult as well as the descendants where the journey is easier and it's almost like you're flying because everything is so smooth and I'm trying to find that place again and I feel like I'm really close but it scares the hell out of me.
Counseling is always a wonderful experience because you have somebody that has great education and typically a lot of experience as well as we all do if you've lived a while, and it's a professionals objective opinion instead of that biased opinion that friend's offer or the Hun honest answers or critiques because to be hurtful to a friend can cost that friendship.
I'm looking forward to discussing things I have never addressed and finally setting those issues aside or compartmentalizing them or whatever because there's some things that just never stop playing like the VCR in my mind. You don't ask to see the movie but it just starts playing and it's the most distracting and haunting affect that seems to be a message of some sort because why else would our minds keep playing this for us over and over.
It's almost like we have a soul and then the mind is artificial intelligence and it does what it wants to do at times. I feel that most everybody would identify with this because we have all been sick one way or another and at the basic level these things are not hard to comprehend however to understand them and depth and be able to work your way out of the maze is a completely different story.
Taking on responsibilities, again, expands the horizons greatly and builds a larger network of acquaintances and often through those connections and credibly deep wonderful friends.
I am part of a theater and serve on the board of directors and I appreciate that group of artists more than any artists I have ever worked with and Embassy Theatre is important to me however I have not performed at the level that I expect of myself and it is due of course to my health which just seems to constantly chase me if I'm good to myself or if I'm bad really just doesn't seem to matter because I have several genetic diseases, and I don't need to get into all of that it's not the focus. I have had great successes at the theater and I have offered assistance at the most basic level and fortunately my mind seems to always think of ideas quick and I am very surprised that sometimes through the storms the proper places are still working and maybe even better than ever.
The mind sure is difficult to understand and if you spend too much time thinking about it that can take you down to. More responsibilities being a therapeutic as it is and suggesting that you must stay motivated usually follows with wanting to eat better and the body just desires good natural organic food that nutrition can be extracted from and metabolized properly to fuel the vessel.
I have broken my back and have severe disease of the spinal column and massive spinal cord impingement in the cervical area of mine X such that it looks like it is at a right angle or broken in the Imaging. I have to stay active because I can. I have to be good to myself because I want to live and I need to keep that Focus very much so, and I want to be of service and be a man that can be respected for his actions instead of the child I have been in the past, irresponsible and sometimes hurting others.
Back to the topic at hand, definitely counterintuitive but an excellent alternative is slowly taking more responsibilities as they can be handled and purposefully making them a challenge as a challenge is often needed to rise above.
Only two entities know if your frog and you're one of those entities. Do not sell yourself short and no matter the physical condition challenge the mind and the body will rise and follow.
