I find my dogs to be stressful for me, unless they are sleeping. My cats help to calm me down. So it equals out! LOL!

Jenni – you need to report back: as a digital consultant, was the lure of the online to strong to resist? Was 21 days and nights enough of a break or too long?

And Ed – I couldn’t agree with you more; we DO rush around far too fast for our own good

We are a culture that is addicted to speed.
Orientated towards career advancement
Towards progress.
One that does not stop.
It’s mind is busy analysing the past and future. Deadlines to meet. Demands to uphold.

Is this healthy?
Are humans, at our most fundamental level, meant to live in this manner?
Was the industrial revolution neccessarily good for the human soul?
Maybe. But Maybe not.

Should we not be enjoying the moment.
Celebrating simple things.
A laugh with a mate.
Lazying around the house.
Looking up at the stars.

Simple matters.
Simple means slow.
Slow is better for the mind.
Slow prevents depression and mental illness.

Perhaps speed is a major factor in the staggering increase in mental illness.
We need a revolution in slow.
A revolution for people doing what they want. And with meaning.
Because meaning gives contentment.
Gives strength.
Gives us the tools to fight mental illness.
We should not blame ourselves.
We should blame speed.
And slow down.

(Where the hell did that come from?!!!)

Comment on Which antidepressant do I take first? by Clarence Jones

Interesting stuff. My Doc & I have been trying to come up w/an antidepressant as effective as Effexor was for the 1st 6 years after I was diagnosed. It’s been nearly 4 long, hard yrs. since. The thing about Depression is that you always have to be on Guard or it will slip into your actions/.thoughts w/o notice.
