I really enjoyed this blog about -How I Beat Postpartum Depression Without Drugs (This Time)

1. Exercise- more details about exercise and diet, at about 2-3months begin this (but I haven't yet)

• Mondays – circuit training (30-45min), walk (here’s a sample of a typical circuit training workout)
• Tuesdays – walk only
• Wednesdays – HIIT (12-15min), walk (here’s a sample of a typical HIIT workout)
• Thursdays – cardio (jumprope, running, trail running, kickboxing), walk
• Fridays – HIIT (12-15min), walk
• Saturdays – walk only
• Sundays – track workout 20-30 min (sprints, plyometrics, hill sprints, stadium runs)

2.  Nutrition- my plan was to be eating the most nutrient-dense foods that I possibly can. The more variety of nutrients I can eat, the better chance I have of not having any deficiencies that might contribute to depression.   a. cod liver oil- supplement
3. Sunlight
4. Meditation- In meditation, you learn to become aware of thoughts but not to associate with them or get wrapped up in them. This is done by sitting still for a set amount of time, and just watching your thoughts come and go. Soon you learn that no emotion is permanent, no thought is fact, and this helps to separate yourself from the drama of negative thoughts. I sit for 20 minutes a day (I started with 5 and worked up each week) and just close my eyes, practicing letting thoughts go as they come. This has helped me see the negative thoughts that are associated with post-partum depression as what they really are – just thoughts, stemming from electric pulses in my brain, rather than true reality. Studies are also coming out linking mindful meditation with lowering stress and anxiety in women during pregnancy and post-childbirth. [5]
5. Sleep- catch it when you can
