I know many people just go to the pool, no matter what, they don't give themselves a choice, but I've succumbed to bad case of blues. Swimming always has been my salvation for depression, but now I am finding it very hard to get out of the house to get to the pool.
I know "inertia begets inertia" (I read that once); thus I just gotta get myself to the pool. Anyone out there have any ways they trick their minds/bodies when it feels like the world is made of cement? Drugs aren't the answer for me; been there, done them. Swimming really has been an incredible help. I have swim goals: I'm not accomplishing them due to the incredible pull of my cozy bed and evening "house" clothes.

I have trouble getting to the pool in Canada. I have a monthly membership to all of our city pools. There are 2 within 10 minutes of my home. I manage to get there about 10 or 12 times a month. TV consumes much of my day now this is blue depression.
Soon I will be in Mexico I go to the pool there at 9am til 10am then Chuckie and I walk up town and back about 2.5 miles each way. (I should tell you the pool is about 100 feet from my motor home). I hit the pool again about 4pm til 5pm. I also teach swimming in Mexico for 3 or four hours a day.
When in Mexico I do not watch TV. I do not listen to the doom and gloom that is on CNN or CNBC. Politics do not enter my mind.
