Feelgood List

I love this idea of a Feelgood list by UpUp Shop in etsy. The designer, Julie, discusses her struggle with postpartum depression and how it led to creating this checklist:

" I read all the literature on depression; I researched neurochemistry as best I could. And then I sat down and listed every single thing I could think of that might help me feel better. Things my doctors had told me; things I knew about myself. I wrote them all down.

And then I started checking them off.

I never once got the whole thing checked off in a week, but working at it and seeing how much effort I was putting into my recovery made it start to feel like, well, recovery."
