Depression is a heavy battle to beat. The body feels sluggish like it’s made of cement, energy is drained, and the mind feels clouded and empty at the same time. Depression can be so evasive that you forget who you are, all your accomplishments, and your true potential. With a fatigued body like this, a safe and easy therapy to try is a meditation practice but to overcome a mental dilemma, the challenge is in mental perseverance.

Try different time intervals with other therapies such as tech, halo, energy, and even crystal. Experiment to see what remedy naturally boosts your endorphins.
Self-expression might help visualize the emotions that can get stuck in mental loops. Try art and lit therapy and don’t be afraid to release what’s on your mind.

Organize and rest the mind with meditation and float therapy. While stilling the mind, the nervous system relaxes, activating the vegas nerve to release hormones for rest, digestion, and healing. Specific meditation practices like Yoga Nidra, introduce a practice called progressive muscle relaxation that helps reconnect the body to a zoned-out state.
If your energy is more alert, move the body with dance therapy, or try a new hobby dedicated to self-expression like fab, lit, or art therapy. Experiment with subtler therapies such as soma wave, halo, and therapy rooms at a hydrotherapy spa which all have their unique qualities that may help the mind and body return to a healthy sleeping cycle.
