I find myself feeling crappy again today. I am trying my best to think about and emulate the lotus flower.
During my first time attending Yoga Nidra, the instructor used a guided meditation which involved lily pads and lotus flowers. In the meditation she spoke that despite the muddiness of the water that lies beneath it, the lotus flower chooses to rise above and bloom. If any water gets splashed onto the flower, it rolls right off and remains beuatiful. I found this to be an immensely powerful analogy to depression and mental health struggles in general. I find myself feeling like I am in the midst of the water and it is very hard to find my way out. The lotus flower gives me hope that it is possible.
