#coronart day 38: Usurp.
🕑 Added 2020-04-19 13:12:15 +0000 UTCToday King Depression was set to win. For a few days I've been failing, falling, deeper, erratic, aggressive, distant, hopeless.
Through exercise, mindfulness and art I had barely kept it at bay, but my body was failing. Aching in all the wrong places. Begging me to give in. Give up.
Today I awoke with a migraine. Went back to bed. I knew, I know... I know that if I don't fight back, King Depression will win, and I'll be down and out perhaps for the rest of Spring and summer. So I lay there I the darkness, with a choice.
I choose to fight. Not only continue with my art, my meditation, my exercise, but to do it harder. To rise up and take that crown of darkness. To usurp!
Fingers crossed it'll work.

Getting off the coach can be hard, but by golly it can be needed. I've actually found that I need to get my pulse up, and maintain it for at least ten minutes or so, in order to save myself from the worst of the depression. Every day. As early as possible. I get a sort of runners high that can last until the evening. But problem is... I'm soon 40 and really untrained, so not wrecking my body is hard.
I also have to add that after reading your spirited words, I realized that I would feel much better if I managed to move away from my couch, not just lay there and be in a crappy mood. So I have now "fixed" my hair to my best ability, and I'm on my way out. So, thank you :D
Haha! I can see it in my minds eye! I would not be offended at all!!!
Go Kim! Go Kim! Go Kim! I would do a cheerleading dance for you but my hair is so unkempt you'd be offended. I love the piece, btw ☻
