When you feel the heaviness gathering, move.

Stop waiting to feel better. Stop waiting for motivation. Just move. Move scared. Move sad.

Step outside and let the air hit your face. Walk fast enough to feel your pulse wake up. Run badly. Dance in the kitchen like no one’s grading you. Swing your arms. Do ten jumping jacks. Then ten more. It doesn’t need to be elegant. It doesn’t need to be impressive. It just needs to interrupt the stillness.

Because stillness is where depress1on settles in. It prefers you still. Small. Contained.

So become harder to hold. Become breath and blood and motion.

Sweeney writes, “I don’t run to be happy. I run to be harder to kill.”

And she goes on to write a complete book around this concept, a deeply insightful and liberatg one, which I listened to during my long morning walks.

You should check it out.
