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.
OK. This is the third time I've tried to thank people and each time I get bumped off somehow.
Made it to the pool today. Did whole workout. Got to the pool by going waaaaaaay early and doing drills and somersaults and slow-motion flip turns and various easy swimming tasks until practice began.
Thanks, thanks, thanks for all your support and strategies.
But most important thing is I now have lots of encouraging posts to read to help me get to the pool.
So again, thank you all. It is good to know I'm not alone.
