I'm very worried about the destruction of our environment. Not one to be into spiritual things like 'Spiritual Ecology' but I think there is some truth to it: we all have some connection to the earth and nature. What we eat is our most profound expression of our connection to the physical world. But it goes further of course, to how we treat nature, wildlife, etc. As the environment becomes more polluted with toxins, light, noise -- as it becomes more scarce - I think many of us will realize the hard way how important it is to our psychological well being.
The following has worked very well for me, I hope others benefit also:
* running 45min-1hour each day high intensity (80% HRM) (on the trails of course, away from concrete and civilization)
* playing in the dirt (1)
* being around animals / Farm Therapy
* make sure you treat your microbiota well
* if depression has neuroinflammation as a cause, consider Tumeric, possibly one that will cross the blood brain barrier (2)
* getting good sleep
