Ep. 47 - "...leaning in and leveraging a low low is a new kinda cool."

You’re most welcome to jump in and listen to how I navigated (and continue to navigate) a recent experience and episode of extended deepening depression deep. The repeated sunken sad is super normal for me and now I have enough resources to really realise there is opportunity to leverage these moments and meet them with a task that needs doing which has the same characteristics.Specifically, because of my continued efforts to shape and structure my social supports and days and ways (yup, a lot through the lens of my language), I realised the real opportunity I could do something that needed to be done slowly and with a sense of calm…and guess what, these are the leading two characteristics of my deep deepening.While my low lingers continues to soften with each sunrise, I can see where I have been and what’s ahead. It’s a strange feeling each time that without reason or rhyme, this is normal for many of us.So I share this out loud for the purpose of letting you in on a little of the language that can truly evolve an experience, grow a knowing, and find a peace in the persistence.Until when, may your days be by your design and may you always have a sense of knowing your you is the best you you can do.K.🎶 The beautiful genius that is Florence and the Machine - Freeimportant: please note that because we are talking about health and my personal relationship with working with medical professionals, that everything shared is my experience and it’s up to you to work with your trusted professional to support your choices.
