As always I want to talk about reality and not only present the nice pictures. This blog is about a break... There is still too much stigma about discussing mental health problems. I want to break through that stigma with the WITBM platform. Share the experience!
It was so special that they took the time to motivatie me and keep going. In the end I managed. Day 23... the thing I am most thankful for is the time and attention you get from people you don’t expect. Strangers become friends.
Elderly people who walk... And I’m not talking about man and woman in their 50’s or 60’s, but older. I met their a lot in my life and now already a few on my trail. In short: they inspire me. In this blog you read a couple of these stories.
Today I have experienced that I have applied my own medicine enormously. Instead of dwelling in the laziness and the emotions, I went for that walk after all. It works and could end the day with a positive feeling. I am very proud and happy about that.
Difficult is the idea that I am vulnerable again, and have to show it again, but I told myself I want to show the real deal, so this is what it is. So, I only can do this one way, and that’s my way. I hope and request that you will open up too.
Connecting with other people is difficult at times when they don’t share their feelings, their thoughts in an honnest way, in some way I can feel that and that makes me and the situation confusing and exciting. In this blog I write what helps me at that moment.
Thoughts are flying around my ears. How will I do this? A 24,5km long beach walk, hot, blisters, burning feet...Step by step, every time, step by step. You can do more then you think!
A passion: nightwalking Walking in the night … Yes, who is thinking about that at all? […]
