I'm not really good with meditation, but my accupuncturist really pushes it. I'm very much a "go, go, go" "do, do, do" person. I generally get depressed when I'm bored and don't have any outlets. On the other hand, when I go and do too much, I forget to take quiet time out for myself and meditate. Its very difficult for me to sit quietly and think positively. I need to get some coaching on that end, as well. I sit quietly after I do yoga and try to get centered, but I need to teach myself to do the same at night when my negative thoughts creep up, instead.
The thought of living on medication isn't so depressing in itself to me. I just know how terrible the side effects were and don't want to go there again. This journey I'm about to begin with the alternative methods is going to involve a complete change of diet/lifestyle for me, and I know it. Its going to take alot of dedication to stick to. In some ways it'll be more difficult than just remembering to pop a pill, but I'm hoping that it works. I'm excited to get started feeling better and nervous of all the changes that are neccessary, too.
