Today, on 11 October 2025, I (as a clinical psychologist in the mental health industry) had the priviledge to join the 10km mental health walk with @ Lowveld Walkers all the way up-hill (like life in itself) from the Grove to Akeso Clinic in Mbombela, and all the way back down-hill (like life) again. The engraved words on our medals said it all: "Be kind to your mind".
Therefore, stop self-sabotaging, disregarding and bombarding your mind with negative, irrational and destructive thoughts, which lead to mental illness.
Rather use your free will to chose to be kind, positive, mindful and uplifting to your mind - let your mind be renewed, indeed, en route to mental well-being.
Thank you to the organizers at Lowveld Walkers, Maggie and her team at Akeso Psychiatric Clinic and each participant who made it such a positive and healthy experience.
