I decided to make one month challenge 🫂 🍂🍁5 little things

Yeah, friends, I am going through rather tough times cause of my life and health situation, that’s why I decided to do 5 little but important things for myself every day. Something that I can really do, very simple but pleasant, that may give me more joy and inner energy.

Heal Song by Tom Odell

I have had this song on repeat this week. I hope you listen to it free on YouTube or however, but a video with the lyrics is even more helpful.
I hope these lyrics with his voice on this particular song helps wash away some of your pain too.
Try consciously breathing in an out while you listen to his resounding lyrics:

Take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And take my past
And take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last

And take a heart
And take a hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sand
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last

We all may need live talk, live smile, live being

Human connections is the most precious thing for me…But sometimes you may realise that there is no one who can just be caring🥀🌹

You are worthy of living a life that you can’t wait to wake up to each morning!

Life is so short and I really hope everyone on here starts living a life that makes them happy and grateful to wake up to each morning. A life where you want to actually wake up to and not waste another moment. You really deserve that! I hope that for you and I hope that more positivity comes your way. I hope your depression goes away and you live a life everyday that fills you with joy. I hope you do what your heart desires everyday and you always do what you love! ❤️

I did get up and made it to the table. It just took until 7:00 tonight. Staying in bed to rest, if needed, is you loving yourself.

The dark clouds of my depression have returned, casting a shadow over my thoughts and emotions once again.

The weather took an unexpected turn as dark storm clouds rolled in without warning. There were no indications of its arrival, no change in the wind, no shift in the water's currents. It seemed to materialize out of thin air. I attempted to shield myself with an umbrella, but it proved futile, akin to covering myself with fragile rice paper. Before I knew it, I was drenched, and the effects were punishing;my bones, heart, muscles, and even my soul ached. This was a stark contrast to the usual pleasant breeze and intermittent gentle rain. It left me feeling defeated, and I longed for respite from the relentless struggle…
