not so wise one here..i can't speak for other folk.but I'd be interested to hear too..sometimes i'm not in a place to delve too deep till it lifts so...yeah coffee, shower, sunlight, headspace, walk, a plan to follow to get me going and focus on other tasks and sometimes a trusty solid friend to talk it thru until the morning blues move by some...
When I feel down I try to look at what are my choices. Even in the worse of situations there is a choice and with a mindful understanding of the options one honors their power. In understanding of ones power there is less a feeling of powerlessness, which at least for me is the cause of the "blues." With some encounter of the "blues," I try to talk with friends or if it is really bad a therapist about it, so I can avoid the life "potholes" in the future. Try to take a different way or work my way around the rut. If none of that works I make art, I paint, I sew, I find a way that allows me to better know my nonverbal self and give me a sense of purpose. Feeling purposeful for me is also a feeling of power. To further my idea of power, it is not a feeling of controlling others, which has given power a bad name, but rather a feeling of understanding one's self. Who is the wise one? Perhaps she/he is our universal unconscious, that which connects us all?
