Project Factory Settings

Depression 1 Minute

In this age of smart phones, smart homes and smart watches I guess I have the dumb.

When I am feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and on the verge of exhaustion I have to pause.

I have to pause, take a breath and regroup. Sometimes this means I have to pull back…. waaaaaay back from the things I have taken on.

I love that our minds and bodies give us feedback that allows us to clue into our own dysfunction.

With these clues, I find that the most restorative things are the simple things, the mundane things that return my life rhythms to factory settings.

(I talk more about these practices in my new blog laviedouce.blog)

I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much? I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey. I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm. The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
