Feelings can be somewhat deceiving. I wake up every morning depressed–at least it seems that way. I don’t take too much stock in it. I’ve learned, as a rule, the first hour I am awake I don’t feel good. It usually lifts after I am up for awhile and I had my morning coffee. That is just par for the course. It has something to do with my metabolism. I only get concerned if my depression lasts beyond the first waking hour. Feelings can be deceitful. Sometimes they are totally due to physical reasons. And I always look at that explanation first. I am also careful how I eat. After a certain point in the morning, I make sure I eat something substantial and keep away from sugar. Your diet can matter.

Life is always a question of balance. First it gets tipped one way. Then the other direction. You go back and forth. The same thing happens internally in your body. The term is homeostasis. One example is your blood sugar. The level in the blood stream goes up and down. When it reaches a certain low point your appetite is activated. You eat and your blood sugar goes up. How quickly depends on what you eat for different types of food are metabolized at different rates.
A person has to have quiet moments to analyze the direction he/she is going in their life. There is a reason one of the commandments is to observe the Sabbath. God does not need to rest. Humans do. One day a week they need to get off their treadmill and rest and reevaluate their life. Does the person have to do something different in their life–go in another direction. You can go faster and faster but get no where. Life is always a question of balance.
