The Sun Is Shining - Get Outside!
If you are working on enjoying life after depression, one of the easiest ways to boost a bad day is to go outside. Spring has sprung accross the country, and it is time for us to enjoy it! Being outdoors is one of the best cures for depression. Go outside, take a walk, and enjoy nature. You will be surprised how much better you feel afterwards!
I’m not sure what it is about the fresh air and sunshine, but they are known mood boosters. In fact, when a city experiences weeks on end without sunshine, doctors report far more depression cases than when the weather is normal. If the sun is shining, you need to be enjoying it, especially as someone who is enjoying life after depression!

This doesn’t surprise me. My depression is much worse during the winter partly due to being cooped up and partly due to worsening of arthritis in the cold. But I’ve been much happier and energetic since the spring started. I was positively gleeful when it hit the nineties this week!
