Food for the mind

Because I have an actual thirst for knowledge I have started doing some online courses. I am very sick of studying to further my career , so I chose something that was extremely different from my everyday exposure. It's had an incredible impact on me. I feel like my brain has started breathing again.

I should put in some context here.

I have just started to recover from some severe anxiety, stress and depression. My doctor put me on some medication to help me out and this has been keeping me steady so far.

But now that I'm coming off these meds, I'm worried that I'll need to find things to pull me out of my "funk". What I realised the other day was that I'd already been doing this. Ever since I found out I was so down and out in my own life, I've started investing in my love of life. I've started motivating myself and pushing me out of the toxic routine I found myself in.

Some things that have helped me are colouring, decorating, exercising, and branching out from the stagnant pool of knowledge that is my career. Not that I don't find the law interesting, I do, I just need something else in my life. I need to move in multiple directions and not in a straightforward manner. But it's nice to find something I'm terrible at and can allow myself to be terrible at. New things are necessary.
