🧘 Why meditation isn’t about silence — it’s about awareness

Many people think meditation means sitting still and trying to clear your mind.

But that’s not what it is.

Meditation isn’t about silence. It’s about awareness.

It’s noticing your thoughts instead of drowning in them.

It’s learning to see what’s happening inside you without judgment or resistance.

When you’re struggling with depression, your mind can feel like a storm. It’s loud, chaotic, and never-ending.

Meditation doesn’t make the storm disappear. It helps you realize you’re not the storm. You’re the one watching it.

And from that awareness comes something powerful: clarity, calm, and the understanding that you don’t need to control everything to be okay.

Have you ever tried meditating when your thoughts felt too heavy? What happened?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

Paralyzed in the public, again

Today it happened again.

I was going home from therapy and many factors lead to the next paralysis episode in public.
I was in luck that I had informed my mother so she could pick me up.

I’m experienced with the whole process and the pain that comes with it, so it’s not that scary.
What terrifies me about ”freezing up“ in public are the people.
I can’t tell them that this is my new ”normal“ for me… I can’t react to their prying eyes, answer their questions or tell them that it will go away with time. I can’t stop them from calling ambulance or tell them that it’s not an epileptic seizure.
I can’t stop them from coming to close or touching me.
I’m totally helpless.

So I got home alright, my mom found me and helped me walk.
But still…
Everything tensed up, my hand turned blue.
My left arm is always cramping more than the right. I’m not sure why.
My muscles are still tensed and sore and I have a big tension headache.

This Friday I have an appointment with an neurologist, to rule out epilepsy.

I’m 99% sure it’s just psychosomatic as I can still understand everything that’s happening around me and it’s always triggered by emotional overwhelm.

It’s ”just“ a dissociation motor disorder…
Still this is scary.

And the biggest problem for me is not knowing how long this will last.
There are not enough studies about the disorder.
It can last between weeks or even years.
I’ve had it for nearly 4 months now…

And it’s getting exhausting.

Hopefully the mental health clinic can help with it all…

I just need to hold on.

Update: I still have a tension headache a day later and my muscles are sore.

How to stop letting other people define your worth

Everyone will have a different version of you in their mind. To some, you’ll be brave. To others, too emotional. To one person, kind. To another, selfish.

The truth is — no one sees you as you truly are. They see you through the filter of their own pain, their own fears, their own expectations.

When you live for approval, you become a reflection of what everyone else wants — and lose sight of what you need. But when you live by what feels true to your heart, you begin to recover a kind of peace that no opinion can touch.

Depression thrives on self-judgment. Freedom begins when you stop asking, “What will they think?” and start asking, “What feels right for me?”

What’s one way you can live more true to your heart this week?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

🌿 How to feel richer without changing a single thing in your life

Your mind is wired to notice what’s missing.

It scans for what could be better, what you haven’t achieved yet, what you still need to fix.

But gratitude interrupts that cycle.

When you slow down and acknowledge what’s already here — the people who care about you, the roof over your head, the moments of laughter, even your breath — you remind your mind that you already have more than enough.

Abundance doesn’t begin with more money, more success, or more things.

It begins when you stop searching for “more” and start noticing what’s already good.

That awareness shifts everything — because the moment you feel grateful, you are no longer lacking.

What’s one thing you’re grateful for today that you usually overlook?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Update on my search for help

⚠️I just ”unfroze“ and my mind is still a mess. But I wanted to get it out in writing so read at your own caution. ⚠️

Hey there guys,

thanks for all the encouragement! I really appreciated it. You all really helped me ❤️

Today was a rollercoaster for me.

I finally got diagnosed!!! Yey!
My Depression is finally official.
I’m moderately depressed so it’s a bit better!
Dissociative motor disorder (the freezing and cramping episodes).
And a traumatic disorder without any further specifics (because I don’t have intense visual flashbacks and intense avoidance… I push myself through the worst of it…)

And I could get an neurological appointment for next week! Yey.

So hopefully I can soon get the help I need.

Because these freezing episodes are creepy and the cramping is painful….

Also I got a reply from the mental health clinic I applied to.
I need to wait 10 to 12 weeks….

My social anxiety is acting up again and all the appointments really freaked me out - but I got through them! Yey!

I’m gonna try and work or something to get through the waiting… I’m not quite sure how though.
Like I want to work at a local flower shop but I’m not sure if I can face customers…
And I can’t work much so maybe 20 hours a week.

And shoutout to @mrspudniks ! ✨

He helped me get through my paralysing episodes, we now call ”becoming a frozen vegetable“. Because I’m frozen and can’t move the tiniest muscle, like a stiff carrot. Afterwards I unfreeze and my brain is all sludgy/foggy.

How to protect your inner peace in a chaotic world

The hardest part of being human isn’t surviving pain, it’s staying kind and open-hearted while you do.

When you witness cruelty, injustice, or ignorance, your mind wants to fight, to fix, to carry it all.

But if you let that weight settle inside you, it will dim your light.

Staying peaceful in a world that often isn’t doesn’t mean ignoring what’s wrong. It means learning to meet it with awareness instead of anger. To act from clarity, not chaos.

You don’t heal the world by letting it break you. You heal it by becoming the calm within it; the light that doesn’t go out.

What helps you stay grounded when everything feels too heavy?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Peace isn’t found in memories or worries — it’s found in presence. 🌱

Your mind loves to wander.

It replays old moments, wishing they could have gone differently.

It races ahead, imagining problems that haven’t even happened yet.

And when it does, you suffer not because of what’s happening now, but because of what your mind is telling you.

The past brings sadness.

The future brings anxiety.

But the present moment? That’s where peace quietly waits.

You can return to it anytime by taking one slow breath, noticing one sound, feeling one heartbeat.

That’s how you remind yourself: you are not your thoughts.

You are here.

Now.

Alive.

What helps you return to the present when your mind starts to wander?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

🕊️ Peace isn’t found. It’s built.

We often wait for peace to arrive.

We think it’ll come when life calms down, when people change, when circumstances finally go our way.

But peace doesn’t fall from the sky.

It isn’t something that just happens to you.

It’s something you create.

You build peace every time you pause before reacting.

Every time you take a deep breath instead of lashing out.

Every time you choose understanding over judgment.

It’s not about escaping chaos.

It’s about learning to be calm within it.

Peace is a daily practice built through small, conscious actions that start with you.

What’s one peaceful action you can take today, no matter how small?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Letting go doesn’t make you weak — it makes you whole again. 🌿

Holding onto anger feels powerful at first.

It feels like protection — like you’re standing up for yourself.

But over time, it doesn’t protect you.

It poisons you.

You replay what happened, you justify the resentment, you keep reopening a wound that wants to heal.

Forgiveness isn’t about saying what happened

was okay.

It’s about choosing peace over pain.

It’s about releasing the grip the past has on your heart.

You don’t forgive because they deserve it.

You forgive because you deserve to be free.

What’s one thing you’ve been holding onto that you’re ready to release?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Your potential grows the moment you believe in it. 🌙

Your mind will always try to convince you that you can’t. That you’re not ready. That other people are stronger, smarter, or more deserving.

But the truth is, every single thing you’ve ever accomplished started with one belief—you could.

Faith in yourself is the quiet force that moves mountains. It’s what turns doubt into direction and fear into action.

You can do anything in the universe. You just have to believe that you can.

👉 What’s one thing you’ve stopped yourself from doing because you didn’t believe you could?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
