Sometimes the best way to calm down is to meditate. However, in some circles, there is a stigma against the practice. It’s a hippie thing to do, doesn’t really do anything. It is, however, gaining acceptance as yoga becomes a more trendy exercise. And it is documented as being helpful.

Resistance might still be present, however. Especially in someone who is depressed, because the apathy can be strong. The desire to change, while it may be there, can be outweighed by a desire to do nothing. That symptom of depression, the inaction, can be one of the most serious obstacles to healing. It can be one of the hardest to overcome.

But by working together, you can make progress. Don’t send them off to do things on their own. After the habits have become routinized, they can try to do it on their own, but until then, work together. Go to the class together or meditate together. Find music that is conducive to meditation and try it at home. Find a yoga class and go together. The important thing to do is find a way to incorporate healthy practice into daily life. By starting together, you will get your significant other into the habit of calming behaviors which will benefit the both of you and will help to fight the depression.
