Low mood and heaviness

Everything is heavier than it should be. Getting up. Getting dressed. Replying.

There is weight in the system and no lift.

What's actually happening

Heaviness does not lift through thinking. It lifts through the body first — movement, breath, light, contact with other people. The mind follows. It rarely goes the other way.

Practices

Start with whichever is most available to you right now. The first groups tend to work soonest; the later ones build over time.
