3 Body-Based Tips for Depression

 






When you’re weighed down by depression, even daily life can feel like too much.

Because your nervous system is in survival mode, structure can feel like pressure. Motivation disappears. Everything feels far away.

When your nervous system is in survival mode, structure can feel like pressure. Motivation disappears. Everything feels far away.

That’s why body-based tools are so powerful. They help you connect, gently, from the inside out.

🌿 Notice what’s there:
Tune in to your body without judgment. Start by naming simple sensations like tightness in your chest or heaviness in your limbs.

🌿 Create rhythms, not routines:
Rhythms are forgiving. They bring gentle structure without the pressure. Think: opening a window in the morning or lighting a candle at night.

🌿 Gentle movement:
Wiggle your toes. Sway in your chair. Stretch with soft music playing. No mirrors. No goals. Just reminding your body that it’s still here.

✨ These aren’t meant to fix you.
They’re here to help you feel a little more with yourself, one moment at a time.

In 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There has been a lot of progress since then, but LGBT advocates are still working toward a future without discrimination in the workplace and beyond. Here are some powerful quotes from changemakers who are have contributed to the movement for LGBT equality: “Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” — Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports “When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.” — Barack Obama If you need support, contact us today for therapy in   Berkeley and Richmond www.lifebyde...
