Thanks to my UJI sista, @wodujam_nida for inviting me to participate in this challenge of 25 push-ups for 25 days to raise awareness and offer support to those suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and/or mental illness, Something that resonates with me deeply as a person who was diagnosed with depression in the first grade and also feels that exercise is key in treatment and overall mental health💜 Today, I’m inviting my GEMZ sista @jennyly948 to join me for the next 25 days 💜 The rules are simple: *Once you are nominated your 25 days starts the following day (or, if you’re me, you start the following following day). *Everyday you record yourself doing 25 push-ups even if you have to drop to your knees to get to 25 *Every day you must nominate a different person. Let's reach as many people as possible. Let's hope by doing this we can build awareness for anyone who is suffering from a mental illness, you are not alone, and we are here for you!💜💜💜 #itsnotweaktospeak (at El Toro (Santa Clara County, California)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9z7rPjozh/?igshid=1rlc4tmx1e2ls

#Repost @voicesofhope with @get_repost ・・・ One thing I’ve learnt while struggling is to take one thing at the time. Usually when we are faced with a bundle of complications, we tend to try and solve everything at once, or try to find one easy way to get to a solution. That mindset is, in my experience, what caused most of my anxiety and negative thoughts. Instead of seeing your complications as a whole, try take another look from a different perspective and see each step as an accomplishment. Once you overcome one bump in the road, you are one step closer to your goal. The second picture was sent to me a year ago by my psychiatrist I had when I lived in Sweden. I drew this picture in one of our sessions, and she told me all about taking one step at the time. She said to draw where I’ve been, and to where I’m about to go. Being sent this drawing 2 years after I moved from my home, and finally feeling healthier than I’ve ever been - I got emotional seeing how far I’ve actually gotten. This mindset is something I still keep in mind on a daily. Some days the river I’m crossing is fierce and intense with the slippiest of rocks to step on, and some days it’s a calm stream that I can easily cross. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but remember to always take one thing at the time 💙 - Frida #mentalhealth #itsnotweaktospeak (at Lismore, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9yI1gnhXaE/?igshid=1ksgllok419dj
