If you ran a long way, your muscles would need a rest to recover... and the same is true of the brain. Low mood is a simple request for rest and shelter from your emotional "muscle," you just "ran" a real long way for the sake of others, my love. So take your time. Then, when ready, you can get right back into life, feeling joy once more.
My low mood is just that... mine. And while this brain of mine can construct a thousand plausible reasons that someone else is to blame, I need to own it and the path to get myself out of it. I need to exercise, to get outside in nature, to do the things that bring me joy until I feel my spark re-grow into a healthy flame.
My low mood is because I've been putting so much energy out to help others, and so I need some "me" time, a chance to rest, relax and recharge my soul.
Low mood is a chance to learn more about my deeper self rather than creating false lifts from world of commercialism.
In a low mood you can connect strongly to the parts of yourself that need healing and get a real sense of how the deeper self needs to feel loved, by you as much as by others.
My low mood is an invitation for calm meditation, for reaching out and forming bonds with mother nature.
If life has your emotional self on a never ending treadmill, it's okay to step off, look around you, and walk away, find something that's good for you.
I am your emotional firefighter, and I'll always run into every burning building for you. All I ask is that you remember, that eventually fatigue will take over and I'll get burned right along with you. And that, would be the end of our love, consumed to ashes. So, while my mood is low, while I need rest, please learn how to inwardly reflect and solve some of your own emotional issues, be your own emotional firefighter sometimes. After all, it's just another thing people can learn, not magic.
