Depressed today;scrubbed the floor

I just pick something and DO IT......doing something, however small, makes me feel better!

you inspired me just now to sweep the leaves off my patio......

or even just a cleaner spot in one room always makes me feel better, too! Glad you are feeling better.

I have said it for decades. A clean house/room/space always helps with depression and anxiety. Just being able to move around without tripping over things. To be able to sit in a room and relax in the feeling that it looks fresh and ready for use. I cannot explain the intricacies of why this works for me, but it does. And, as stated above, the act of cleaning always seems to be calming and stress-reducing.

Order in our lives frees us.
When we are thus free, we can enjoy/appreciate the large and the small present in our lives.
We can relax.
We can breathe freely.

Spoken by one for whom the energy to make life orderly is a constant struggle.

Congratulations!
