If depression feels like a mountain too high to climb… start with one step. Just one.

That’s all you need right now.

Not a perfect plan. Not a complete transformation.

Just the first step forward.

Depression wants you to believe there’s no way out.

But that lie only wins if you never take action.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.

✨ Start your healing today—with one small move.

Maybe it’s this video. Maybe it’s a walk. A journal entry. A deep breath. A call.

Whatever it is… take that step.

What’s one small thing that’s helped you in your mental health journey? Let’s build a list of ideas to support each other 👇

📌 Save this post for the days you feel stuck.

It’s time to address some truths about Christianity and mental health.

1. Christians can and do struggle with mental illness. It is NOT a sign of secret sin, hidden shortcomings or lack of faith.

2. Many people in the Bible struggled with their mental health.

Hannah who struggled to have a baby.
Elijah was burnt out.
Job lost everything and everyone that he held dear.
David suffered the depths of depression.
Jonah was suicidal. Etc etc

3. No one is immune. Being in the ministry doesn’t make you immune, in fact, statistically speaking mental illness can be more prevalent in Pastors than many other professions.

4. It is NOT wrong to take medication, seek professional help or be hospitalised due to mental illness. It is no different to diabetes, high blood pressure etc.

5. Things are getting better, but we are way to go. My church knows that their Pastor, me, takes medication, has been hospitalised for treatment and still consults doctors to stay healthy.

Reject shame. Don’t let anyone look down on you. You are courageous, you matter and you are loved.

You don't need to be fixed, you need to be held by your own attention. When life feels overwhelming, ask yourself: Have I been abandoning myself in the name of busyness, people-pleasing, or perfectionism? Try this today: take 5 minutes to check in with your body, your breath, and your emotions—without judgment. Say to yourself, “I’m here.” Healing doesn’t always begin with action; sometimes it starts with simply returning home to your own presence.

What’s one gentle thing you can do for yourself today? Write it below so others can be inspired too.

You wouldn’t play in the championship without training… so why do we wait for a mental health crisis to start practicing?

Here’s the truth most people miss:

Mental strength isn’t built in the breakdown—

🧠 It’s built in the daily habits.

In the quiet moments.

When no one is watching.

The greats don’t wing it. They train.

And if you want to stay calm when life hits hard—you’ve got to do the same.

Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s setting yourself free. You can care deeply and still choose peace over control. Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself trying to get someone to care the way I do? Then try this: take a deep breath and shift your focus inward. Reclaim that energy for your own healing and joy. You’re not responsible for someone else’s growth, only your own. Love without attachment is the kind that doesn’t break you.

Have you ever felt lighter after letting go? Share your story or a ❤️ if this speaks to you.

Waiting for purpose to magically appear can keep you stuck. Instead, ask yourself: What tiny action today can bring me closer to the person I want to become? Whether it's helping someone, creating something, or simply showing up with intention, each choice is a brushstroke on the canvas of your life. You don’t need all the answers, just the courage to begin shaping meaning through your actions, values, and love.

What gives your life meaning lately? Share one thing that lights you up. Let’s inspire each other.
