Cabin Fever is a form of depression. Winter, whether long or short, can bring it on for many people, including me.
Today, while baby-sitting my almost 3 yr. old grandson, I was weighted down by the heavy feeling that is depression.
As the day progressed, I remembered hearing that physical activity combats depression so I put 2 chairs on either side of me, and did knee-bends. I needed the chairs because the heaviness I mentioned made me feel too exhausted to even start exercises. However, the knowledge I had that this was merely psychological was enough to force me to smarten up and get active. So I used the chairs to get started, and in no time the depression lifted.
No matter how one feels each morning during a long bicycle trip, as soon as you get on your bike again, you can quickly peddle the blues away.
Peddle until you're in the pink again.
