  • - Relax - It's ok to take a weekend off. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ This weekend i had a break from the mountains. My body seems to be fighting some sort of bug that is making me feel groggy. So I reluctantly had a break. Do you ever find it hard to take a break from the things you enjoy? ❤️ ▪ ▪ ▪ #skimo #skier #skitouren #tourenski #alpineskiing #alpineadventures #alpinetouring #hochtour #lovetirol #visittirol
  • - Worthy - You are worthy. You are wanted. You are loved. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ You are strong enough to believe that ❤️ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #mittenwald #visittirol #lovetirol #österreich🇦🇹 #wanderlost #girlswhowander #touchingthesummit #keeptalkingMH
  • - Taking Part - It's the taking part that counts. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ We arent always the best at what we enjoy, but it is the taking part that counts & not the winning or being the leader of the pack. I've only been skiing 6 years & ski touring for 4 years. In comparison to those who have skied their entire lives, I'm not so good. It is easy to get caught up in being the best, but surely the best is doing something you enjoy? ⏩ this is what matters. ❤️ ▪ ▪ ▪ #austria #visittirol #pureskitouring #feelaustria #österreich🇦🇹 #hohetauern #grossvenediger #sicknotweak #anxietyproblems #austrianalps #outdoorwomen #womenoutdoors #mountainsarecalling #skiuphill #earnyourturns #timetoplay
  • - Success - Dont measure your success against others. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ This weekend I did an alpine ski tour course. I was the slowest in the group & struggled mentally & physically. I questioned my abilities on every new line we took. The others in the group ascended quicker than me & skied really well. I was almost beating myself up, then remembered; we are all on this alpine training course for a reason: we dont know everything. Everyone has strenghts in different areas of life. I managed, got down without injury (thanks to @bluemountainspiritbergschule) & spent 4 days outdoors. That is my success. ❤️ ▪ ▪ ▪ #austria #visittirol #skitouring #skitouring #pureskitouring #osttirol #feelaustria #österreich🇦🇹 #grossvenediger #sicknotweak #anxietyproblems #austrianalps #skiuphill #earnyourturns #timetoplay
  • - Spring Smells - The days are getting longer & the outdoors smell like spring. Less darkness 💪 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ You know what depression is good at? Telling you that you are incapable. It tells me I am incapable of mountaineering. #Depression is a liar. We are capable. I hope you're all looking forward to longer days ❤️ #sicknotweak ▪ ▪ ▪ #austria #visittirol #lovetirol #feelaustria #österreich🇦🇹 #visitirol #imst #Tirol @deuter
  • - No Words - You are strong. You are smart. You are wanted. You are beautiful. You are worthy. Do not let #anxiety tell you otherwise ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Even with the rubbish snow conditions & the ridiculously long approach, there were nice views. Just before I took this photo of my wife, I just wanted to go back to the apartment. Then this view happened & it reaffirmed how the outdoors can help mental illness. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #keeptalkingMH #mentalhealthawareness #berchtesgadenerland #berchtesgarden #visitbavaria #königssee #watzmann #skitouring #timetoplay #skiuphill #earnyourturns
  • - Fan Girl Alert 😂 - When you're battling MH problems with ski touring & bump into a climbing hero @thomas_huberbuam while you're out (who was kind enough to stop for a fan girl photo. I got my Bavarian wife to ask for me as I was totally too nervous to ask)😂 Positive moments like these condition me to not listen to my #anxietyproblems & get outdoors. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #berchtesgadenerland #berchtesgarden #königssee #skitouring #skitouring #pureskitouring #bbcgetinspired #visitbavaria #huberbuam
  • - RESTBITE - Recently I have been caring for a loved one who is suffering from depression & suicidal thoughts. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ I know how it feels to suffer from mental health problems, but now I'm experiencing how it is to care for someone with depression. Depression is not just exhausting for the person with it, but also for the support network. It is important to know that the person we are caring for is NOT a burden. This experience provides the support network with an opportunity to learn more about themselves & grow as an individual. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Although I'm exhausted, I have learnt to take the time to do things that recharge my soul & be compassionate. This includes time in the mountains, ski touring & silent cuddles (when my loved one doesn't want to talk). If you are caring for someone with a mental health problem, it is vital that you take time for you. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #visitbavaria #berchtesgadenerland #berchtesgarden #salzburgerland #königssee #skitouring #selfcarematters #selfcarefirst #watzmann #sicknotweak #mentalhealthwarrior
