Ha! I wish I felt groovy on Mondays!
Maybe the right music and a dance around the kitchen to entertain the birds? Or maybe dance like the birds to entertain the birds?
Groovy with light up clothes and a spinning mirror ball too.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to feel groovy on a Monday, but I doubt I have associated that song with a Monday before.
I’ve just finished reading a book I started last year called The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time.
I’ve often said that depression is not my particular problem because I struggle with anxiety, instead. Then a friend said to me a simple thing: “Anxiety is a form of depression.” While the two can overlap, they can also be two separate things. In an attempt to dig deeper, I ended up with this book and BAM!
I still don’t know if my anxiety is depression, but I now understand ways our brain chemistry and our actions can help and hurt each other. I’m working on this “small steps” concept to see if I can manage my anxiety better. One small step is taking measures to improve my sleep.
Another could be learning to feel groovy on Mondays.
The book has given me much to think about and take action on. The physiological concepts are a little challenging for me to keep up with, but some of the action items are quite simple.
Time will tell!
