✨ World Mental Health Day ✨
Here’s me this morning - enjoying a cuppa, camping in nature, grateful for all past experiences - both gratifying and ungratifying - for shaping me into the Being I am today 🌿
Thirty years ago, I experienced a deep depression at a time when mental health was rarely spoken about. Support felt limited and stigma was strong. Thankfully we’ve come such a long way since then - there’s now more openness, understanding and tools readily available to help us heal.
For many years I carried on functioning, but it wasn’t until I learnt to meditate nearly 20 years later that I realised how disconnected I’d become from my true essence. Meditation has become my scaffolding - my non-negotiable. Twice a day I pause, turn inward and reconnect with the stillness that reminds me who I truly am - a space where clarity, calm, strength and an inner knowing resides. It’s been profoundly life-changing.
If you’re struggling right now, please know you’re not alone. Reach out, speak to someone and be gentle with yourself. Healing isn’t linear, but it’s always possible - you are so worthy of peace and happiness.
“You deserve the best.
Never feel unworthy or not justified in having the best.
I tell you this is your heritage; but you have to accept it, you have to expect it.
You have to claim it.
To do so is not demanding too much.”
– Guru Dev
Let’s keep breaking the stigma together, one open heart and honest conversation at a time.
Jai Guru Deva 🙏🏽💫💓
