Today Jamie Ridler Studios asks us "What do you wish for your health & wellness?" I will admit that I got a little bit stumped about this, but then again it's not something that has been a big focus for me lately, and then I realized how important it is, and how it should be a focus for me.
I've suffered from depression for the majority of my life and I've been on a long journey to find ways that allow me to cope with that. It has been a lot of internal work, holistic remedies, and having the perseverance to discover what works for me and what doesn't.
Wellness for me means listening to what my body wants/needs even when it's inconvenient. Taking time to rest and relax even when I have things that I need to get done. Giving my body nourishment, in whatever that means in the moment.
I finally feel like I've made real progress in my life and in my mental well-being. I know that I still have work to do and I wish to continue on my path to health and well-being there are so many beautiful things that have come out of this journey that when I say that I "suffer" from depression, sometimes I feel like I was "gifted" with depression. It has really allowed me to see my own strengths, to discover my limitations, and to develop compassion that I might not otherwise have.
Happy Wishes!
(P.S. I made a few new wallpapers inspired by some awesome words-of-the-year and I'd love for you to check 'em out)
