When you’re depressed, that question mark can be a barely navigable labyrinth of garbage fires fueled by physical and mental exhaustion, self-loathing, defeat, and frustration. The last time I found myself trying to hack through that mess during a particularly dark period, I started to come up with my own list of bare-bones, practical tips to help me face the idea of moving again. Now I’m sharing them, in case they might help someone else in a similar position. I stress the word “might.” If you’re depressed, the last thing you need is another a-hole telling you what you should do. But if you’re looking for somewhere to start, I’ve been there too.
First heading? “You don’t have to exercise.” I love this entire piece. It’s going on facebook, that’s how much I love it. A+
“The perfect body is a breathing one. Anything that serves those ends is worth considering. Everything else is noise.”
“Most of these training tips and listicles read like they came from people who have faced very little adversity in their lives, and who think that their own health is entirely the product of their own hard work.”
It’s so alarming to look at the history of soft drinks and see how they went from literally something people categorized as a “candy” to something we were pushed to chug down with every meal.
There was a time people “went out for a soda” like it was a special occasion or gave a few sodas as holiday or birthday gifts. Drinking a coke occupied the same sort of cultural place as eating an ice cream cone or having some chocolate cake.
Then Coca Cola and its competitors got to thinking “what if we just advertised it like it’s normal to have our luxurious dessert for every single meal of the day??? Holy cow $$$$$$$$$$$$$” and they successfully normalized that idea to where a huge portion of the ENTIRE WORLD thinks nothing of it.
