Watershed


Oxford’s second definition of the word ‘watershed’ goes like this:

“an event or period marking a turning point in a course of action or state of affairs.”

For patients in a psychiatric hospital, I have always viewed their days there as a watershed opportunity. A time first to pause, and then to turn one’s life around - which could mean

re-connecting with one’s essence. A time to look oneself in the mirror, which is the first step toward good mental health.


But one certainly does not need to be behind the locked door of a psychiatric hospital to have a watershed moment. We all have the capacity to turn our lives around. It starts with a moment, with clarity of who we are and where we are going. Grab the moment and don’t let go.
