In reply to Bridget Hales. Calling people is one of my weak areas too! I am much more likely to try to figure out how to handle things on my own than to reach out. On the rare occasions when I do though it can be so helpful. Sometimes just getting out of my head a little and hearing somebody else's thoughts on a situation helps so much.

Excellent post! Some of these things I make sure to prioritize (like regular exercise and drinking water) but many more of them I need to do more frequently (like calling a friend!), as I am sure these things improve how we feel a great deal. Thanks for the thoughts. Bridget 🙂

In reply to Sarah. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I totally agree that starting simple and small is important.

Terrific post. I really like that you’ve started with the physical stuff, because I think a lot of depression advice ignores simple basics, like making sure your problem isn’t blood sugar. Or saying “get exercise” which sounds overwhelming, like it means going to the gym or starting a work out program, when really, it can just mean breathing deep for a couple minutes and stretching. Simple steps for today is a lot more useful than a program of improvement that involve goals and long-term thinking.
