One thing about these SM pages, you post what you like and like what you post.

Today, I want to open up a conversation about mental health, a topic that is close to my heart. In case you didn't know, let me bring you up to speed. Some years ago, I faced the challenging journey of depression, and through resilience and self-discovery, I now consider myself a "depression warrior." 🛡️

However, there are moments when certain triggers, like the loss of a loved one or highly traumatic experiences, can bring back those tough emotions. Right now, I find myself in one of those moments.

To those who may not fully understand the depth of mental health struggles, I want to say this: until you've walked in someone else's shoes, you might never truly comprehend the weight they carry. Mental health challenges are not a sign of weakness, and they certainly cannot be measured by someone else's standards.

So, to the naysayers who label those facing these battles as weak, I implore you to reconsider. It takes IMMENSE strength to confront and navigate the complexities of the mind. Please, let's stop judging and imposing our expectations on others.

If someone says they're not okay, it's crucial to respect that. Each individual knows themselves best, and sometimes, all we need is a little space. I firmly believe that judgment is not our role; it is a higher power's place to pass judgment. We are all on unique journeys, and what matters most is extending compassion and understanding.

In this moment, I find myself struggling, and what I need most is some time alone. I appreciate your love and concern, but please respect my space. Please respect our different/diverse make-up, even the very depression strikes differently to different people.

Let's continue to foster a culture of empathy, understanding, and support. Together, we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health and create a world where everyone feels heard and accepted. In a world where compassion is a foreign term and has become so scarce, I'm taking time to spoil myself with large doses of Self-Compassion and it works.

For me, it's okay not to be okay. I won't pretend I am just to appease some people I'm sorry. What you see is what you get. When I'm okay you don't even have to ask, when I'm sad I'm sad.
I will bounce back. I ALWAYS DO.
A little time to recharge and deep conversations with my Creator is all I need.

PEACE!!!

"Bhotani travels, Bhotani tours with...YOU"

17/10/2023

Sometimes the journey to conquer our fears forces us to the knees, quite literally! Hiking these towering peaks, I found myself on shaky ground, humbled by the breathtaking heights and weights of my fears. But in that moment of vulnerability, (gradually recovering from burn out and depression at the time) I realized that accepting our limitations can be a powerful step towards growth.

Just like in life, it's okay to acknowledge our fears and limitations, for it's from these moments of humility that we can truly appreciate the grandeur of surroundings and the incredible journey ahead. The excitement I initially had, that of hiking the Drakensberg with my sisters vanished fast fast when I was faced with the reality, sad to say the tour guide, a tall muscular being extended his hand but I refused to budge 🤦 I will never forget the steep ladder-like peak as we approached the summit, literally in tears...but hey 👋 (I chose not to publish those pics)

Embrace the adventure, embrace the fear, and let it remind you to be humble in the face of LIFE's heights.

Am still learning...

Tourist Guides: Weaving Unforgettable Tales, Unveiling Hidden Gems

The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself. The most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle

🌻

100% it does, and if you're like most of us then you've spent much of your life doing the opposite of building you up.

But...You can change that today.

Say something good about yourself, to yourself, you can do it.

Remember loves, you don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to, so take a pass on little things that will not make any difference in your quality of life.
When you feel triggered you never have to waste your time and energy proving yourself.
Choose to show up fully in matters that mean everything to you.
Protect your peace and sanity. 💖

Casual chatting with associates.
I deduce it starts and ends with comparison.
Misery starts and ends with comparing yourself with others...do you even know this next person, do you even care for this person, what if it's all in the mind???
There will always be people better than you and there will be people who yearn to be like you so...take a deep breath, accept with grace and chill.

Those imaginary haters, do they really care? Do they even exist? Okay let's say they do exist, do you owe them any explanation? Do you have to prove anything to anyone? What if all that energy goes in vain?
Me suggesting: Stay in your lane, mind you own business and most of all liberate yourself and Do You. Your are enough, Aren't You?

I guess it's the fifties talking. I guess it's the Fifth floor taking over the thinking faculties.
You're grateful you reach the milestone to pay attention to anything that doesn't add value to you your life, anything that doesn't add value to you peace.

Lemme go retire, you do so in peace.

She trusted the process...not only did she trust me, she trusted herself too.

As I'm now thinking back, am too much in awe of the way she just followed me, no questions asked, no doubts, (or maybe she did have doubts, but chose to reserve them and cut me a benefit) as our adventure involved steeps climbs, traverses and descents 🤦

If we were to be met by a black or green mamba (as the area is notorious for) as we went deeper and deeper, we would cross that bridge when we got to it.

She was on the lead when we first hiked the Drakensberg, I was literally on my knees, praying and feeling faint out of irrational fear of heights and it was just before we reached the summit, it was steep, I mean steep (don't know the English words to describe how steep it was).
She was the one re-assuring me, the one reminding me of the fact that "we're almost there" and were we not?
This was my turn to take the lead, unplanned as it was.

When you know someone trusts you, when you know someone wholeheartedly supports you, when you know they only have good intentions for you, you don't just blindly follow, you respect their judgement based on their record, calculate the cost and trust them too.

By the way we found our perfect spot and celebrated with clean 'Monis', our inner child couldn't resist such temptation, we laughed so hard and our day was made.
That's my sister...we can be full of drama however...we only mean well.

A friend like no other.

She knows everything about me.
There was a time when she didn't understand me, there was a time she didn't believe in me.
There was a time she hated me even.
I vividly remember when she finally got to understand my make up.
I was there when she learnt to understand that I'm not perfect, she forgave me wholeheartedly and fell head over heels in love with me.

When she loves someone she goes all out without expecting anything other than appreciation. Mere appreciation and definitely NOT praise.
She told me how she, herself unapologetically loathes lack of appreciation, arrogance, injustice and fakeness.

My friend is my first and last cheerleader,
In time my friend got to know my worth and was sure to let me know and still constantly reminds me about it.

When I'm feeling down, she'd remind me about how special I am, how beautiful I am and how God values, understands and loves me, despite.
When the going gets tough she'd assure and awaken my own strength, she would remind me to always acknowledge the source of that strength...my Heaveny Father and living God.
When some would take advantage of, manipulate or set traps for me, she'd remind me of who I am, what I have come to stand for and that reminder alone would be enough to determine the reaction or direction to follow.

Through trials and tribulations she taught me to hold on, to be true to myself and hang in there.
She taught me to reject, denounce any negative vibrations and to create healthy boundaries around me.
She showed me the dangers of lowering and compromising own standards by shrinking self to appease others or fit in.
She taught me to stay firmly grounded on my lane, embrace my uniqueness and refuse to be drawn to unhealthy associations or vanity.

My friend would occasionally remind me of my own weaknesses which helped and continues to help me look for basic goodness even in the worst situations, to give others the benefit of doubt and extend a meaaure of grace to others as well.
She taught me something that I never knew to be possible, to truly love...at a distance.

Most of all...she taught me the importance of showing gratitude in everything, the critical role played by gratitude in accepting, hard as it is, both the good and the bad in life.

That's the friend in me.
The day I became my own best friend is the day my whole world changed.
It's never too late, believe me.
Loving self with nothing...loving self with everything.

27/01/2023

Don't bring attention to yourself...well I get that so well and the reasons therof.

What if the attention brings itself to you???

Loving myself with nothing...loving myself with everything.

Loving myself enough to take care of myself in whatever way I understand to be beneficial to my well being, without having to bring harm to the next person.

Self-liberation is key.
Nothing is worth sacrificing my mental health for.
I serve a happy and loving God, who fortunately happens to be the ultimate Judge 🙏

PEACE ✌️

Sunset...
If there is a sunset there surely must have been a sunrise. It's gonna be sunrise again and sunset, sunset and then sunrise.
Embrace both. That's LIFE.

Don't steal your inner joy by comparing your life to others, that's self-hate.

In the meantime...count your blessings and show gratitude.

The Power of Positive Thinking!

Say NO to negative vibrations coming from WHICHEVER direction!

Your life is your message.

Live your life in alignment with who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and never mind what others say or do.

Remember what people say and do is never a truth about you, it’s a reflection of what’s happening inside of them.
It’s their perception.

Your circle of friends and family KNOW you, so there really is no need to waste your precious energy defending yourself. 💙

(Be so positive that negative people unfollow you on social media.-Kat Sullivan)

18/12/2022

You never have to prove yourself or explain yourself to anyone.
Simply be true to yourself, of course without harming others, and wish people well who misunderstand you. 🌿

It's okay. Let people misunderstand you.
The person who matters most in your life is the one looking back in the mirror. 🔍

(One year from now, I want to be able to look back and say, “Wow, I really did believe in myself and it worked.”-unknown)

17/12/2022

You can never change the behavior of another person, so don’t even try.

You are wise when you understand that you can only change your response by not inviting some people into your circle of life.💚

(Love yourself enough to know when enough is enough.-)
