Got the Blues?

Non-pharmaceutical means of overcoming depression (via a PhD-wielding man with a radio show):

1) Keep a mood journal to discover patterns and learn what triggers your moods.

2) Go on a walk. (3x a week)

3) Do work after exercising. This is for light/sitting work. Obviously labor requires energy, though some people do both effectively.

4) Try to accomplish something daily. A small something will do. With a productivity habit, you can learn to take it progressively farther. Break a big job up into tasks, and consider each step a triumph.

5) Avoid exaggeration, over-generalization.

6) Exercise / Meditate
