Don't stop being kind to yourself, Scottish Fairy! It's like in the quote by Rumi: if all around you is darkness, look within, and look to yourself, for it is you who may be the light. ✨ I enjoyed this video! Thank you for the immense light you bring to my heart.
Nature in all of forms from beaches to forest fields and mountains have a way of to soothe our souls especially if we are experiencing tough emotions nature can provide us a sense of peace a quiet softness that we need to help process whatever discomfort we are feeling! You are lucky to be surrounded by such nature 🌾🪵🌊🐚
I love to walk barefoot with the chilly water rolling over my feet simple pleasures give an appreciation of contentedness, often I go out walking there are times throughout my walks when I'm in the past or looking at the future in my head thinking things through and I dont notice what is there in that moment
dear Kerstin......another great video.........................wonderful that you feel better and yes we must look after ourselfs and your husband is a luck for you.......Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Thank you for this Kerstin. Just yesterday I was struggling with a similar deep feeling of failure and this video reminds me of all I've gone through and what I've overcome with God's help. And yes, the need to be kind to myself when I feel stuck and fatigued. Perhaps it's my body saying to continue to rest. So timely and grateful to you.
This was beautiful Kerstin. You made my eyes fill with tears when you spoke of sitting crying at your kitchen table. Life can be a struggle sometimes, and your videos bring so much peace and loveliness into our lives. I wanted to be on that beach with you! I made bottles of cordial with my elderflowers and was able to give away some to friends. Have a good week!
Hello Sue and thank you so much for your kind comment. We are blessed with the beauty around us and I do appreciate that a lot! Your cordial sounds very tasty - your friends are lucky to get your home made treat. Have a lovely week 🧚
Thank you so much for your meaningful and beautiful video. And most of all- thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself in times of challenges. Have a lovely week 🎉💛🌺
Hello Kerstin and thank you for this lovely video. I’m pleased that your recovery is going well and you are feeling much better but yes there will be times when it is difficult and anxiety sets in. Slow and steady wins the race and you will get there. We have to protect our mental health at all costs in whatever way works best for each individual. It’s good that you have the love and support of your husband and good friends. You take care. You really do take us to some beautiful places in Scotland, just so picturesque showing the natural beauty of the coastline. And the hand balm looks wonderful. I hope you have a lovely week and enjoy the summer. With best wishes. 🌺🌸🌼🌳❤️
Hello Lynda and thank you for this very mindful comment. It is much appreciated. I am indeed blessed with where I live and it pleases me that my community enjoys it through my vlogs. Have a lovely Sunday and a kind week 🧚
Lovely scenery of the beach and ocean and it's a wonderful thing to have a supportive spouse who is understanding. What a beautiful place to live and go for a walk and be in peace and comfort.
Hello again dear Scottish Fairie.....What a lovely and sensitive video. Your vulnerability and sincerity is so beautiful and touching. You are like a tender wild flower that has to learn to bend with the winds of change and anxiety and yet not break. Some of us are more susceptible to self doubt and anxiety and are on a lifetime journey to self acceptance and yes, even self love. Your wise words ring true that all life is one of both happiness and times of doubt and sorrow. Again the analogy of the sea and its seasons of wild storms and then serenity and calm afterward is a lovely lesson from nature. And we learn to ride the tides of self doubt, the storms of anxiety knowing that with self acceptance and gentleness we come through once again to a new morning of tranquility once the storm has passed. With gentle thoughts of peace and tranquility as you walk the shores of life.
Hello Charlotte and thank you for your kind and wonderful words of wisdom. You should be a writer (are you?)! Your analogies are so suitable and just lovely. We can and should learn from nature and maybe we have a better acceptance of the changes we all face in our lives. I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for being part of this community! 🧚
Hello Kerstin. I'm glad you are recovering. Mental illness is really terrible and it's not easy to get out of it. I really try to stay mentally in a safe or comfortable place, after a period of being a bit sad/depressed. Mental health and health in general is very important. People say that we need to get out of the comfort zone and maybe this is good to some extent, but not always (at least for me). And I agree we need to be as kind to us as to others. Lovely video, thank you for sharing your story ❤. Stay safe 🙏
Hello Anita and thank you for your wonderful comment. I agree that mental health is so important and I think many women with all the subjects of life and chores tend to not look after themselves well. But we should! I hope you have a wonderful week. Sending blessings from Scotland 🧚
Dear Kerstin, Thank you for this beautiful video and your kind words. Always be gentle and kind to yourself too dear one and enjoy your Summer in Bonny Scotland 💕 There will always be ups and downs, it is the same for our Lulu with her acute anxiety attacks. Just be patient with yourself and know that the harder times will pass. I know how hard this must be when in a dark place but you have such inner wisdom and we are grateful for your presence here 🙏 Many blessings from Katrina and Lulu 💕
Hello Katrina and Lulu, thank you very much for your kind comment. It is really lovely to see how many of the community can relate to the topic. I am very happy that my content speaks to many and is valued. Have a wonderful week!🧚
There must be something in the air this week. My two favourite channels are talking about living with/through fear. That's the Scottish Fairy and Randi Lyn Reed 😊 I am at times paralysed by fear. Eventually it does pass. I've had it since childhood. I find I'm at my best when I have a dog. It helps me feel safer. Much less anxiety having a dog. I struggle to leave the house at times. I've moved to an even more rural and quiet alpine region of Australia and now I enjoy going outside into my new garden. I no longer feel hemmed in. It's quiet and peaceful here with cows roaming free next door. I understand the tears of frustration when paralysed by fear and unable to get out. I find slowing my breathing down and hugging a pet (I have 5 pets) really helps settle the irrational panic that's such a struggle at times. We know it's irrational but it feels real every time. That beach is so beautiful! Sending love and hugs from snowy alpine Australia 🫂💐
Thank you Sylvain for this lovely and mindful comment. That is interesting, that the two of us spoke about the same topic! Before my mental health issue I never have known anxiety or fear and it is therefore very strange to feel this way - but it has gotten much better! I am glad you found a way to keep it in check (we have no pets, I am allergic to dogs, my husband to cats.... maybe we have a rabbit on day?) I could not agree more in regard to the rational knowledge of how the feeling isn't based in reality yet it feels real.... Have a wonderful Sunday and keep warm. Blessings from Scotland 🧚
You were very brave to go out to a shop, when you were feeling very low. I am still unable to go out and about, and it has been 4 years now. I feel I just want to be a recluse, and shut myself away with my dog, but I do miss human contact. I meet up with a lady and her dog once a week, for our dogs to have zoomies in the field, just up from where I live, and we spend an hour walking around the field chatting. I also get a befriender to ring me once a week, and have spoken to her now for about 1 1/2 years. But it is not the same as having someone to love, and live with. But I would rather be alone, with Madge, than with someone I was not happy with. So that is the sacrifice I make. I am so glad you found your lovely man, to share you and your son's life with. Blessings and hugs from Jilly & Madge, from West Devon, England. xxx
I have been fighting being a recluse for a long time. I am married and have a small family....but I cannot remember a time in my life... when all I wanted, was to live alone somewhere, with my cats and keep to myself. I had a very hard time as a newlywed being around my husbands family and having social events to go to. There were times I said that I wasn't feeling well, and stayed home with a good book, and soft music on and under an afghan. I felt better at home. I raised my daughters ...also with difficulty ...not wanting to mingle with the other mothers. At that time there was no internet and computers and google.....I thought I was insane and a misfit . My husbands family called me peculiar and neurotic . I thought I was .Now I know I am not ! In a weird way I am comforted knowing now, there are so many like us out there. Thank goodness for the internet! I am not alone wanting to be by myself. There are a lot of us out there. I have accepted it that I was born this way. We all come into this world with our own temperament and this is the way I am. I tried pills.....therapy.....counseling.....all of it. And the bottom line is I am what I am. I like my own company and doing crafts....and reading....and just enjoying listening to the rain on the roof. I love walking in my garden and watching the birds and squirrels . Believe it or not I have a friend for over 50 years who is the complete opposite. She travels and is at every event out there ! and realizes that I cannot cope with all that. She texts with photos and I enjoy looking at them. But I am happier here in my own little bubble.....and now as an older woman......content knowing all these years I am not insane. Just an empath ....and a sensitive quiet person who enjoys solitude. I wish all of you peace and contentment .
@@KCfan1587-r2u I hope you keep on enjoying your alone time, now that you are older, and can do so, without folk criticizing, and not understanding the way you feel. xxx
Hello Jilly and thank you for you mindful comment and sharing. I can relate to your feeling of just being a recluse as that is where I mostly feel calm and happy myself (bar my beloved ones). I agree that human interaction and socialising are also something that we can hugely benefit from. I went for a walk this morning (my husband is working today) and spoke to a dog walker I meet regularly but hadn't seen in a while and it was just lovely to have a wee chat. I am happy you do have some people you do see and speak to - and yes I agree, it is better to be alone and happy that in an unhappy relationship or marriage. Wishing you and Madge a wonderful Sunday 🧚🌸
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is really appreciated. I can not tell you enough how much I relate to so many things you say. My big family was always difficult for me, especially at the many events we would meet up. It was too loud, too uncomfortable but I felt obliged to go. I also mingles with other mothers and can happily say that some became dear friends and still are, but at the time I prayed that the phone would not ring to be asked to meet up with the children. I am very happy that you know who your are, that you are indeed not alone in the way you feel comfortable even though it makes me sad how hard the path for you was before you got there. We are all different indeed, some need the constant socialising and energy of groups, concerts and clubs and some just need listening to the rain on the roof. Have a lovely Sunday and thanks again for sharing with this community 🧚
