One day depression and the 21 day challenge

Yesterday I was depressed. Yes, sometimes it is happening to me as well and I call it the one-day depression because it is lasting really for one day. What I am doing in this state of mind oh well, usually I am lying in my bed watching series and eating mostly sweets. Yesterday I did the same but without feeling guilty about it! My energy level was down and most of the times I feel guilty of doing nothing, but at this time I experienced something completely different. I allowed myself to feel my depression and let it be where it is. I didn't want to ran away from it and I didn't want to change it and I didn't comment or blame what was happening. I was a silent observer. I wanted to experience the dark cloud which came inside me.
The day passed with this mood and around 23:30 I started to awaken. I was wondering maybe because I left my companions (coffee and cigarettes) I arrived to this state of mind. I didn't feel the need for smoking and drinking coffee but the thing is that I was doing it during a long time and my body just reacted like this. I also realized that what my companions left behind it is an empty space where I can create new things and it depends only on my choices with what will I put it in!!!
I got so excited and I decided to take a 21 days challenge for myself because my body needs support now more than ever. The plan is the following:

  1. To wake up at the same time every day, to eat at the same time. 
  2. Start the day with lemon water and eat fruits till 12:00, after 18:00 time of the last meal of the day after just detox or herbal tea
  3. Avoid consumption of sugar, flour, milk and alcohol
  4. Drink at least 2 l of water per day, no drinking 20 minutes before and after eating
  5. Running at least 3-4 times per a week, I left myself to choose on which days
  6. Morning Yoga
  7. Sundays dynamic meditation

I am going to follow this plan during 21 days. The wise says if you do something new what you want to create for 21 days it will become a habit and you can make it easier to  be a part of your life and your daily routine.

I am more than ready for the change! Are you?

    1. Thank you very very much for support! I keep on doing the transformation process. Since then I smoked 2 cigarettes and drank 2 coffees (of course they belong to each other). This happened as a part of a progress I don t see it as a mistake or failure. The rest I am keeping strictly. The most important is that I won t give up because I believe I can make it!
      Mari by the end of the months we have to share the experiences.
