Belief is the first step towards realization. Even if things don't work out right away, it's important to believe that it's possible. In my video, you can see me trying to take steps of equal length and focusing more on my left side to take a longer step with my right leg. It's a simple example, but it carries an important lesson: the belief that something is possible even when the path isn't direct or easy. We all know those moments when we work hard on something and it still doesn't work immediately. There can be various reasons - mistakes at the beginning, self-doubt, or unexpected obstacles. But it's in these moments, when things get tough, that our true strength and determination shine through. The frustration of things not working out right away can be significant. Sometimes, failure gets imprinted so deeply that it's difficult to try again. However, we should remember that failures are part of the process. They show us what didn't work and give us the opportunity to do better next time. Let's hold onto our goals and not lose faith in our abilities. Every small step, even if it seems small at times, brings us closer to our dreams. With perseverance, determination, and above all, a strong belief in ourselves, we can overcome any obstacle. So, believe in yourself and believe that it can work!

Today, I wanted to talk about my trip to Ghana. My heart was so filled with happiness and joy over the time I spent there. I had already prepared my text when the memories of this journey were still fresh, and I could vividly recall every detail. But then I received the news that Ghana is planning to further tighten the laws for the LGBTQ+ community and their supporters. This information hit me like a blow... There was this beautiful country, of which I had so many positive memories. A time I never want to forget, and I wanted to tell you all about it. I wanted to emphasize how important it is to face your fears because sometimes, the most beautiful things happen when you least expect them. You learn and create memories that continually motivate you. But suddenly, this land felt so foreign - so far removed from what I had experienced there. I was disappointed and saddened. I will never understand why we continue to inflict pain on each other. Why can't it just be okay - no matter who you are or who you love? Why do people feel disturbed by love, why do they believe it's okay to judge others? I wish so much that we could all leave these prejudices behind. That we stop dividing people into "right" and "wrong" and instead start listening to each other. I wish for peace, children who can laugh happily and freely, who can live in a world where they can be who they want to be. A world where no one is harmed. But this wish seems further away than ever in this moment. Yet, we can always rise again and stand up for others. We can speak out when injustice is done to others, we can be there for people and tell them over and over again: "It's not your fault!" I had hoped to find nicer words today... But they will come, I'm sure... Just not today. Feel embraced, Amina. #overcomingabuse #healingjourney #selfempowerment #courageousliving #openness #strengththroughstory #authenticliving #survivorstrength #emotionalresilience #createhope #unitedandstrong #changeyourthoughts #emotionalhealing #buildselfconfidence #empowerment #strongwomen #findingself #lifestory #endthestigma #emotionalfreedom

Hey there! I'm Amina, and I'm grateful for each and every one of you following along on this journey with me. Thank you for ... being here. ... for listening. ... and for sharing your stories with me. Thank you for not staying silent, for being courageous. Today, I want to turn the spotlight on you and learn more about you. I'd love it if you could share a little something about yourself in the comments. Let's connect and celebrate the beautiful diversity of experiences that make us who we are. Can't wait to hear from you!

Mother Earth, I thank you... from the bottom of my heart for all that you gift me. Your generous abundance provides me not only with sustenance and a home but also healing and strength. The Earth gives us pure air to breathe, clear water to drink, and a variety of plants that touch us with their therapeutic powers. The trees, with their green leaves, supply us with oxygen while simultaneously symbolizing deep roots that anchor us. The rivers flowing gently represent the movement of life. Flowers, in their vibrant colors, remind us of the beauty in the present moment. All these gifts of nature are not just external treasures but also sources of inner healing. By consciously connecting with nature, we can absorb its therapeutic energy. A walk in the woods, listening to the gentle murmur of a stream, or touching flowers can provide moments of calm and peace. The Earth teaches us to live in harmony with natural cycles and to heal ourselves. Let us handle these gifts mindfully and consider the Earth as our healer. For in a deeper connection with Mother Earth, we find not only external healing but also inner peace and harmony. Treat mother nature like a friend.

In the past few days, I visited Ghana 🇬🇭 for the first time. A trip to an unknown land, surrounded by strangers, as I only knew my dear Emily, who had invited me... and yet I met 11 wonderful people. We were a group that was harmonious and full of love, despite all of us coming from different cities in Germany and some of us only meeting there. Already in the capital Accra (at the Somewhere Nice Hostel) I met many interesting people. Later in Ankobra Beach (near Axim), away from the noise and hustle of the city, we were able to relax very well! It was simply unbelievably beautiful... We slept and woke up to the sound of the sea, and every day there was fresh food and juice. A ramp was specially built for me in Ankobra Beach, and even ground-level paths were laid so that I could continue to move autonomously! It touches me deeply that I was welcomed with open arms and that so much thought was given beforehand. Such trips also cost me effort - especially when I travel to an unknown country with unknown people. When I don't know what to expect... But that doesn't stop me from being brave! Because every time I dare something, good things come out of it. I always learn something new and become stronger. That shows: When we face our fears and open ourselves to the world, it can offer us so much beauty, goodness, and new things. That's why it's worth looking ahead.

Sometimes, it's the darkest chapters of our lives that shape us into the strongest versions of ourselves. When I say, "We are stronger than we think," I speak from the deepest recesses of my heart and my own life experience. My childhood and youth were enveloped in darkness, marked by abuse, violence, and overwhelming loneliness. Processing these experiences, letting go, and positively harnessing them took me many years. The journey was long and arduous. And today, here I am... I've been fortunate to experience so many unique moments, share my story, and offer hope to others - every step and tear has been worthwhile. Wounds can begin to heal, and out of darkness, light can emerge... Today, love, courage, and community are my faithful companions. You all also have the power to rewrite your own life stories. Let's encourage each other to rise when life has pushed us down. What do you draw strength from?

Many years ago... ...it was natural for me to walk. ...I didn't think about whether my legs would carry me. ...each step happened automatically. ...I ran and jumped like any other child. And then it was suddenly over. My legs no longer carried me. Doctors repeatedly told me there was no hope. That I would never walk again. I could never accept that. Years passed... I read books, researched, and tried everything to remind my legs that they knew how to walk. I just had to succeed in reminding them. And then I stood... for the very first time in so many years on my own legs. It's hard for me to rely on my legs. I'm afraid of falling... And yet, I keep going. Train and believe strongly in my goal. No matter how difficult it is: Giving up was never an option! Simply accepting what doctors say – not either. I always felt: This wasn't it. There's this feeling in me. It's loud, and I'm sure: It wants to walk and is convinced that it's possible. Don't let anyone tell you it's not possible or you can't do it. You have to believe in it, muster the strength, and fight for your goals. Only then can you achieve them! Life may challenge us at times, but we carry the strength within us to overcome these challenges. Believe in your power, set your goals, and fight for them. Because in every battle, there's the possibility of victory and reaching the light at the end of the tunnel! I believe in you, Amina ✨ #overcomingabuse #healingjourney #selfempowerment #courageousliving #openness #strengththroughstory #authenticliving #survivorstrength #emotionalresilience #createhope #unitedandstrong #changeyourthoughts #emotionalhealing #buildselfconfidence #empowerment #strongwomen #findingself #lifestory #endthestigma #emotionalfreedom #paralyzed

I wish I could always laugh like that - loud and happy... Simply with a heart full of joy... But the truth is, sometimes life just seems unfair and heavy. In recent weeks, stress seems to be my daily companion... It piles up like an insurmountable mountain before me... As if I feel the weight of the whole world on my shoulders... As if I have to muster all my strength to drag myself through the day... I'm restless and sad... Somehow overwhelmed by everything... I see more shadows and darkness... I seek solutions, but find none... My laughter fades, and I can only manage to smile at the people I encounter with great effort... We all know these moments... Life with all its beautiful highs... And its darkest lows. Neither you nor I... can control what comes our way. But... we can control how we respond to it. I know that eventually, I will see the light... Where there is darkness... There is also light - always. And every day is a new chance for the light to emerge... The sun will rise again, and the darkness will fade. Hold on!

In the final part, I climb the Mount Everest... Of course, only metaphorically. On the last stretch to registration, it's downhill... This makes walking even more challenging for me. But lately, I find myself daring more. Not too long ago, I was afraid to stand, and the fear of falling was stronger than my desire to walk. However, with every exercise, every time I stand alone, my courage grows, and I get closer to my biggest wish. It's always worth being brave for your dreams! Even when it doesn't feel like it, and even when there are setbacks... The biggest setback would be never starting, because then we'd never know if we could have made it. We have to face our fears to progress, to truly live. Fear feels uncomfortable. But you must learn to befriend it and accept it... Wishing you courage, Amina ✨ #mindovermatter #runningjourney #stressrelease #trainhard #progressnotperfection #mentalstrength #standingstrong #proudofmyself #freedomthroughfitness #trainingvideo

Walking always brings a fear of falling for me. Even the slightest changes make me pause, and my mental movie starts playing. Even though I know my fear is unfounded, I have to confront it every time. In this video, you'll see my mental movie kick in as the flooring changes, and suddenly my mind hesitates to keep going. But giving up is not an option, and with the right impulses, I manage to keep walking. It teaches me each time that the fear is there and feels really intense for a moment, but it's okay. I have to accept and embrace it to fulfill my dream...

In the past few weeks, I've noticed a change in my body. It feels as if it's ready to run, and the only thing holding me back now is my mind. Because walking is so much more than just moving the legs. It starts in the mind. And mine is currently overwhelmed. Apart from walking, I am currently under a lot of stress, and I almost feel like my weekly training has become a kind of release valve. During training, I need my full concentration for every movement of my legs. There's no room for all the thoughts that currently trigger one thing: stress. Even though I know that I'll eventually have to ensure that stress doesn't consume me, I'm currently using it during training and making progress. I'm incredibly proud, and it gives me a sense of freedom to see how far I've come in recent weeks. It's unbelievable to me that I can manage to stand... In the video, you can see how a training session unfolds and how much effort each step takes. Lots of love, Amina ✨ #mindovermatter #runningjourney #stressrelease #trainhard #progressnotperfection #mentalstrength #standingstrong #proudofmyself #freedomthroughfitness #trainingvideo

In this act of self-respect, we acknowledge our own vulnerability. The art of forgiveness starts with ourselves. Allow yourself to be human, with flaws and imperfections. The burden of the past can be heavy, but remember, forgiveness is not a weakness; it's a profound strength. When you are ready to tread the path of forgiveness, you not only open your heart but also create the possibility for inner peace. Forgiving yourself or others may seem challenging... but consider the liberation it brings. Release the burdens and understand that forgiveness is not a pass for past wrongs; it's liberation for your own soul. This path may require time and patience. Be kind to yourself and allow the process to unfold. Take a deep breath and feel how, with each inhale, forgiveness flows into your heart, bringing light to the darkness and enabling healing. Forgiveness is a journey where, with each step, you free yourself more from the chains of the past. You deserve peace, love, and freedom. May the power of forgiveness accompany you on this journey, enveloping your heart with the gentleness of healing words.

In my hometown of Gaya, there was a very special night... In this magical environment where the connection between humans and animals is still primal and strong, I had an unforgettable encounter. It was one of those nights when I slept under the radiant full moon with my siblings... Suddenly, I found myself in the company of my loyal friend, the talking dog. He was a yellow dog, common in that region, with slightly oversized ears outlined in black. A stray dog that roamed between the desert and the city. On that night, he came to bid farewell. His words echoed in the air beneath the starry sky: "There is no room here for animals." I pleaded with him not to go, but my plea faded into the night as the yellow dog turned to the moon and vanished into the darkness. It was the only time I had encountered him. Years later, I learned that my older brother had told the story of the yellow dog. Yet last night, far from Gaya, he appeared to me once again... Under the German moon, I engaged in a conversation with my four-legged friend. He asked me to tell my story. A challenging moment as I strive to lead a new life and overcome a painful past. But I felt that the dog had come to lift the veil that covers my chest and sometimes feels suffocating. This mystical conversation on the hill, in the moonlight, lasted until dawn. It was a journey to my roots, to the profound connections between us and the animals that surround us. This night inspired me to share my story and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Don't be afraid to tell your story—it unveils new paths, insights, and initiates the healing process. It's a challenging journey that doesn't always follow a straight path. But remember, the first step is the hardest. Sending you strength for your journey.

My journey in 2024 – perhaps still a bit shaky, but I am incredibly proud of all that I have achieved this year, especially in the past few weeks. 2023 was an impressive year! I was offered numerous opportunities to share my story and support others on their journeys. Once again, it became clear to me how valuable it is to speak about one's own story. It is normal to be afraid – everyone has fears – you are not alone. A heartfelt thank you to all those who shared their stories with me. Your courage and openness have inspired and strengthened me. 🙏❤️ I learned that you can grow beyond yourself, forgive, and accept when you are ready to take control of your life. You can't change your past, but you can shape your future according to your own visions. We are survivors and have the power to rewrite our own stories. We have recognized that it is time to recognize negative patterns, to be neither victims nor perpetrators. Insight creates the willingness to accept both light and shadow. I wish all of us a new year where we find the courage to speak about our stories and show others that they are not alone. You are not alone! Today is the first unwritten page that you can fill with your own words. Let's continue to break our silence in 2024 and… Accept that we cannot change our past. That we are not guilty. That we did not deserve what happened to us. That we are not bad people. That we do not have to be ashamed of what we have experienced. That we no longer need to fear. That we must tell our stories to inspire courage in others. That we can help people with our stories. It's time to be loud. What do you want to achieve this year? Feel free to write it in the comments. I wish you a magical year full of light.

Merry Christmas for you! 🎄✨ I know... Not everyone experiences this time as one of family, love, and togetherness. If you're not feeling well right now or need a break, I want to remind you to do just that. You are allowed to take a break, withdraw for a few moments, decline invitations if it all becomes too much – it's okay. Take care of yourself and don't always prioritize others. Consciously carve out moments of peace and relaxation to recover from the hustle and bustle. As a special gesture of self-love, treat yourself to your favorite meal or a delight that brings joy to your soul. These small pleasures can work wonders for your well-being. Let the festive joys inspire you and pamper yourself with a touch of luxury. And, if possible for you, consciously enjoy moments of love and togetherness with your loved ones. Create space for heartwarming conversations and give each other your attention. Your self-care is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself. Wishing you joyful and contemplative Christmas days! 💖🌟 A lot of love, Amina ✨ #merrychristmas #Survivors #StrengthInSolidarity #UnbreakableWomen #RiseAbove #EmpowermentJourney #YouAreNotAlone #InspireChange #EndViolence #OwnYourStory #ShatterTheSilence #TogetherWeHeal #breakthesilence #selflove

In my own journey of healing... I overcame deep fears and doubts when it came to openly discussing my painful experiences. The fear of how my story would be received and the uncertainty of whether I had the strength haunted me on this journey. It was a painful process where my thoughts were inundated with doubts. Questions like... "What will others think?" and "Will I be judged or not taken seriously?" tormented me. These fears were so paralyzing that they prevented me from sharing my story, even though deep down, I knew it was an essential step for my own healing. But over time... I realized that these fears are normal, and I was not alone in experiencing them. The strength to tell my story didn't come overnight; it came through a process of self-reflection, building trust, and the support of those close to me. It's a gradual journey, and each step requires courage. Doubts may linger, but they must not take control. The decision to share my story was liberating and brought unexpected strength and connection. If you feel similar fears and doubts, remember that you are not alone, and there is space for your story. Whenever you're ready for it.

"How we view and love ourselves not only shapes our present reality but also guides our journey of healing." There was a time when I looked in the mirror and saw only flaws. Insecurities danced like shadows over my self-esteem. But then I realized: Self-love is not a distant place but a home within us. The first step is to recognize that self-love is an act of choice, not a gift of fate. Each of us deserves to love ourselves unconditionally, just as you are – with all your edges, corners, and scars of the past. It's about accepting yourself without compromise. Acceptance is the key to self-love. Your individuality, your story, everything that makes you who you are is valuable. YOU are enough just as you are. Self-love flourishes in moments of acknowledging what you have achieved. So, celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Every step on the path to personal growth deserves a hug of appreciation. Don't forget to be there for yourself. Amidst the hectic routine, self-love can also mean taking time for your own needs. Indulge in rest, care, and things that make your heart smile. Self-love is not a one-time decision but an ongoing process. It's okay to have days when the journey seems challenging. Be patient with yourself and remember that every day is a new opportunity to love yourself. And finally, share your journey. Your story of self-love can be an inspiration to others. Together, we can create an atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged to love and accept themselves. The journey to self-love may be individual, but we are all on the same path. Let's support, strengthen, and remind each other: We are worthy of loving ourselves unconditionally. If you'd like, share in the comments how you treat yourself. Take care of yourself.

I had an incredible fear of telling my story... It was the fear of how other people would react if I told them about the abuse in my life. The fear of the looks, of words spoken behind my back. I didn't want them to see me or treat me differently. In my mind, the same questions kept circling: What if people suddenly reject and avoid me? How can I keep control over my story? Over what happened to me? For a long time, I felt that my fears were stronger than my desire to tell my story. It wasn't until I started talking to others who had experienced similar things and spoke openly about it that I realized my own fear of others' reactions was preventing me from helping. This fear, so real and profound, remains elusive and uncontrollable. But I decided against letting fear influence my decisions. No, I didn't want it to dictate my path. And then it became clear to me that there should be no fear in telling my own story. Because this story is a part of me, but it doesn't define me. It stands for survival... For resilience... For strength... And above all, for hope. And when I found the courage to speak openly and honestly about my story, something unexpected happened: Many people found comfort and understanding in my openness about abuse. Finding the courage to put your own story into words may seem like an insurmountable hurdle. But despite all the worries and challenges, one constant remains: YOUR story is the most precious thing you possess. Have the courage to tell your story authentically - with all the emotions, the fractures, and the glimmers of hope. Your story is unique. Your truth. And sharing it can not only advance your own healing but also inspire courage in others. The fear of sharing the story of abuse should not determine the direction of your decisions. You are strong enough to overcome this.

Once upon a time... After I had to leave my homeland, I spent the first months in my new "home" at the hospital. The doctors prescribed me orthopedic walking aids with a brace so that I could somehow walk. It was exhausting, incredibly tough, and far from the freedom of being able to walk. With those walking aids, I moved with straight legs, like a robot. With each passing year, the challenges grew greater, and my body grew weaker. What I wished for seemed so far away that my will to live dwindled further. I had learned to be silent, so I suppressed my pain and did my best to walk somehow. Every step required my arms to bear my entire weight, making me tire incredibly quickly. Additionally, my new "father" had started to beat me shortly after my hospital stay. As a child, I was convinced that I was the problem. I must be bad, and I deserved everything that happened to me. It was all my fault; I believed that. But I also believed in God and firmly believed that He would save me. That someday there would come a moment when I had suffered enough, and the pain would end. I often told myself that it was just a test. If I tried harder, if I were more obedient, and if I suppressed the pain even more, I would pass my test. God would save me, that was for sure. The feeling of freedom was only brought to me by my wheelchair. Finally, I felt independent. I was no longer reliant on anyone, and I could navigate my day without much effort. Finally, I could truly perceive my surroundings because I no longer had to focus on every step. Finally, I felt that piece of freedom that I desperately wanted to hold onto. Believe that you deserve goodness, that there will be light in your life too. You deserve it! I believe in you!

There was a time in my life... ...when darkness enveloped me. ...when the shadows were greater than any light. ...when I felt incredibly alone. ...when I questioned the purpose of my existence. ...when I often thought about giving up. But then, a small ray of sunlight touched my skin. I felt the warmth, the comfort, and I knew: I WANT TO LIVE. By sharing my story, I aim to reach all the remarkable women out there who have experienced violence or are still confronted with it. You all possess an unshakeable strength and inner beauty deeply hidden within you. It is time to unearth these treasures and unlock your full potential. We should never, under any circumstances, be ashamed of what has happened to us. Whether we were victims of violence, humiliation, or abuse – our experiences do not define our identity. We are more than just our bodies and gender. It is our time to stand up as a community, support each other, and set an inspiring example. We have survived. We are alive. We are not alone. Let us share our stories, speak our truth, and build a network of strength and solidarity. Let us dispel this darkness and let the light within us shine. Let's show the world what powerful, inspiring women we are. Our past does not determine our future. You are strong, beautiful, and infinitely valuable. Together, we have the power to make changes, for ourselves and for future generations. You are not alone, and together, we will change the world with our strength, beauty, and determination. Never give up, and take your time.

🌟 My New Leg Braces... 🦿 ... are a true experiment for all of us! These braces come with three options to provide optimal support: In "Lock" mode, my knee joints feel stiff, offering extra security. This option allows me to practice standing and improve my stability. On the other hand, in "Free" mode, my joints remain flexible, and I have to engage my muscles to stand and walk. This requires active participation and presents a unique challenge. Then there's "Automatic" mode, where the built-in AI takes control, provided I have the right stride length, apply sufficient pressure on my legs, and bend my knees correctly. When everything aligns perfectly, it "clicks," and I can coordinate my steps. In this video, we're attempting to put on the Automatic mode. It's quite challenging, but I won't give up! I want to walk, no matter how tough it gets. Now, I'm curious—what's your biggest wish? ✨ Sending love, Amina ✨ #NewBeginnings #LegBraces #WalkingAid #Determination #NeverGiveUp #StrengthInChallenges #MobilityMatters #AIAssistance #StepByStep #DreamBig #EmpowerYourself #WalkingJourney #InclusionMatters #AdaptiveTechnology #OvercomingObstacles #BelieveInYourself #InspirationalJourney #MovingForward #AminasStory #YourDreamsMatter

Our life's journey may be marked by darkness and challenges, but it is also characterized by strength, resilience, and the ability to heal. We all carry stories with us. Some are full of joy and happiness, while others are marked by pain and trauma. It is important to understand that these stories may have shaped us, but they do not define us. Art is an extraordinary form of healing and self-expression, especially for those who have experienced trauma. It allows us to express emotions that are often too heavy to put into words. Whether you paint, write, make music, or express yourself in other creative ways, art can help you explore your inner world and take steps towards healing. I, too, found my refuge in art. In my darkest hours, I found solace in writing and art. They helped me overcome my own traumas and accept my story. Now, I can speak openly about it, share my story, and even help others find their path to healing. It is incredibly important that we tell our stories. We inspire others with them and repeatedly tell them: YOU are not alone! And, you don't have to bear your trauma alone. Art therapy provides a safe space for you to express yourself and heal. It allows you to process traumatic experiences and gain new perspectives. Art helps you look into the future and take control of shaping your own story. If you feel inspired and want to know how you, too, can process your past and take a courageous step into the future with the help of art therapy, then send me a DM. Together, we can work on your path to healing, and you will see that there is always hope. YOU are not alone on this journey. YOU don't have to endure your past alone. YOUR past does not have to determine your future.

One of my highlights this year: the Ecosex Walk at BUGA 2023 😍 Under the theme 'Earth as a Lover,' the two American artists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens developed the walk during the Federal Garden Exhibition '23. The goal is to view the Earth from a different perspective and give her more attention. Cherish and protect her as you would a loved one by making sustainable choices and showing compassion for all life. The walk at BUGA has deepened my connection to the Earth and nature, and for that, I am grateful. 🌍 Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful experience 💚 @qzm_mannheim @buga23 @anniesprinkled @ebethstephens @mithumelanie @joybrookefairfield @theonlyshayma @chrisslag @mithumelanie @andereanna #BUGA23 #tellyourstory #Bundesgartenschau #queercommunity #natureisagift #energyflow #energybalance #natureloves #natureismagic #diversityinclusion Amina ✨

The story of Zanele Muholi is a tale of courage and inspiration. Zanele is proud of her skin color and her identity as a queer person. Born in South Africa, she spent her youth in a township near Durban during the time of apartheid. Despite the progress since the abolition of apartheid in 1994, LGBTQ+ rights in South Africa are still under threat. Passionately, she fights for the rights of lesbian women who are persecuted in her homeland due to their sexual orientation. In South Africa, the so-called "corrective rape" is widespread - a cruel practice aimed at altering the sexual orientation of lesbian women. One tragic case was the murder of Eudy Simelane, a member of the South African national soccer team and an LGBTQ+ activist. Zanele uses photography to combat these hate crimes and to give hundreds of lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women a face. Through empathetic portraits, Zanele restores a part of their beauty and dignity. With her activism, she became a role model for the queer community in South Africa, as she is the first queer woman to address the issue in Africa. This extraordinary courage was met with incredible hatred. Nevertheless, Zanele founded an Institute in South Africa where she aims to help people through art. Zanele's photographs are an expression of anger and defiance, but also of self-determination and the pursuit of a unique identity. In the series "Faces and Phases," Zanele celebrates the beauty of black LGBTQ+ people and challenges the colonial perspective on exotic individuals. Her film "Difficult Love" deeply moved me, and I attended her exhibition in Luzern last week. Zanele's photographs are not merely images; they are powerful messages that touch hearts and inspire people to embrace their true selves. You can still view her artwork at the Kunstmuseum Luzern exhibition until October 22nd. @muholizanele @terra_dick_productions_ @qzm_mannheim @engelhornmode @enjoy_jazz_festival #ZaneleMuholi #LGBTQActivist #QueerRights #SouthAfricanArtist #Identity #PhotographyExhibition #Equality #HumanRights #SelfDetermination #ArtForChange #Empowerment #VisualActivism #ProudAndStrong #ArtWithPurpose #KunstmuseumLuzern

Fears are like shadows that dance in our minds and too often rob us of our courage. They are the invisible bonds that hold us back and make us wonder if we should dare... The truth is: Fears are not our enemy, but a guide to our personal growth. The biggest fear I had was the fear of writing my own story in a book. The fear of possible reactions from my family and other people was overwhelming. I wondered how to deal with it. But it was precisely these fears, these uncertainties, that led me to a realization: Often, it's the very things we fear the most that challenge us the most and ultimately reward us the most. Fears are like doors to new opportunities. They are the stepping stones to our inner strength and our potential. And, our fears are entirely normal. The fear of whether our family will support us, the dread that a family member might take us to court, the worry about how our family will react to the truth - these fears are real and understandable. In your fears lies a valuable lesson. They remind you that what you want to do is meaningful. When we confront our fears, we send a powerful message that our goals, our dreams, and our truth are worth more than the fear of what might happen. There are ways to face your fears. It takes courage, support from friends or therapists who can accompany us on this journey. It also requires self-reflection, the ability to analyze our fears and recognize that they often stem from irrational assumptions. Remember that you are not alone. Many people share similar fears and concerns. Your fears are real, but they don't have to define your destiny. You can grow beyond them by summoning the courage to move forward despite the fear. If you find the courage to confront your fears, you'll discover that they don't hold you back but propel you forward. You can do it. You are stronger than you think. Be brave and follow your path, despite the fears dancing in your mind. If you wish, I'll assist you and stay by your side. Be courageous, Amina ✨ Foto by Daniel Lukac #Inspiration #Courage #Growth #OwnStory #Overcoming #Strength #ConqueringFears #SelfDiscovery #journeyofhealing #breakthesilence

Let us continue to break the silence... Our stories are not blank pages but filled books, rich in colors and emotions. They are marked by shadows and light. What shades and beams of light do you find in your own story? Recognizing the truth about ourselves can be the key to a fulfilling life. It is the first step to forgive and embrace life in all its beauty. Forgiveness is the key to liberating ourselves from old pain. We are not puppets of circumstances but creators of our own stories. Isn't it time to live instead of merely existing? Life is precious, and each day holds boundless possibilities. Are you living your life consciously and with a full heart? Your story is a work of art that can enrich the world and help others. So, isn't it high time to be loud, not in the volume of words, but in the power of your story? Your words have the power to heal and inspire. Are you ready to speak louder and share your story? When you start telling your story, you will quickly realize that you are not alone. Other people will resonate with you, understand you, and it will be easier for you to accept and forgive. I wish you a lot of courage, Amina ✨ #BreakTheSilence #EmbraceYourStory #LiveWithCourage #ShareYourJourney #HealingWords #InspireOthers #Mindset #Survivors #Nevergiveup #stopchıldabuse #Empowerment #CourageousLiving #StrengthInVulnerability #ForgiveAndHeal

My journey through the desert and to myself In the endless expanse of the Sahara, a world unfolds beyond our imagination, reminding us of our smallness amidst this nature. Entering the desert marked a turning point, emphasizing survival: To secure our survival, we loaded the vehicle with ample water and food. We were instructed to stay in the car and, above all, not leave the group. Here, there was no room for power games or hierarchies. It was solely about survival. The desert had its own voice and rules, which we respected. As we entered the endless stretches of the Sahara, an intangible inner peace enveloped me. And our group changed, finding harmony that wasn't there before and didn't persist after we left. The Sahara is a landscape permeated by an invisible, benevolent energy. At this place, origin, religion, and belief are insignificant. The breathtaking landscape evokes a sense of awe, strength, love, and perfection. Deep within me, I knew that no matter how long our journey through the desert would last, everything would turn out fine. An inner voice assured me that trust in life would guide me on the right path. In that moment, fear yielded to a sense of security, as I felt sheltered and protected. I loved sleeping beneath the overwhelming starlit sky and the emergence of sandstorms that blot out the sky, casting an indescribable darkness upon us. In this place, surrounded by nothing but sand, I realized that reality surpasses what our eyes can perceive. Just as the desert taught me harmony, insight, and respect, we can reconsider our behavior, strengthen our community, and recognize our connection to nature. Love & Light, Amina ✨ 💫 This is an excerpt from my book 'Identity & Dignity: How Walking Away Paralyzed from Abuse paved my Path of Soul-Discovery.'

Hello everyone! I'm Amina, and I can't believe how many people have recently found their way to me ❤️. On this account, I share my story with you. My goal is to encourage you to speak about your own story, and I'm here to support you in that journey. Because every story deserves to be heard! I was born in Mali and spent the first half of my life in Togo. Right from the early stages of my life, I was subjected to physical and psychological violence. I was a little child when my mother sold me for s**. For over 10 years, I was exposed to domestic violence. It happened so frequently that I wished to be paralyzed just for it to stop. One Day I went for a Vaccination and my Body hat a bad reaction to it and it paralyzed me from the waist down. Now, my mother couldn't sell me to strangers anymore, and my father decided to sell me to a German man he had met. Since then, I've been living in Germany. Thanks to my adoptive father, even as a young child, I had the opportunity to travel, including crossing the Sahara Desert multiple times. Throughout these experiences, my disability never played a role! Every adventure has shaped me into the person I am today. Moreover, I've met so many diverse people, and many of these encounters have blossomed into deep friendships. When I look at a person, I'm only interested in their inner core. I know that external features like skin color, religion, appearance, and physical condition don't matter at all. My life hasn't always been easy, but I've embraced and overcome every challenge. I'm incredibly proud of that, and I tirelessly work towards my next goal: being able to walk again. I'm excited if you choose to accompany me on this journey! If you have a question for me, feel free to write it in the comments.

Do you know that inner voice that gives you a hint? The voice that comes from deep within your gut... The voice that tells you if something is right or wrong... The voice that quickly grasps the complexity of a situation... The voice that warns you or even senses something... It's like a gentle whisper rising from the depths of your being, softly murmuring to you. This voice that comes from deep within your gut seems to be directly connected to your instinct – an invisible thread that links you to the essence of your intuition. In everyday life, it's usually very soft, unobtrusive... like a gentle breath of the universe whispering to us as we navigate the everyday hurdles of life. Amidst the hustle of daily life and the noise of the world, it can be difficult to pay attention to this quiet voice. Yet, it's there, and it's more powerful than we sometimes realize. It's the gentle guide that tells you if something is right or wrong, even when your logic would take different paths. This inner wisdom, this form of intuition, is like a navigator that swiftly grasps the complexity of a situation. While our minds sometimes get lost in the details, your intuition has already captured the core. It's like a star guiding you in the darkness. And then there's that other side of your intuition that warns you of dangers or evokes a vague sense of discomfort. It's a guardian that operates in secrecy and provides you with clues you might not decode immediately. But how often do we ignore these inner signals? How often do we overlook these subtle insights because the loud world around us captures our attention? How often are we blinded by apparent logic, only to realize later that our intuition would have shown us the true path? How many times have you dismissed your intuition, only to realize afterward that it was right? Your intuition is like an invisible companion on your journey. It's there to show you the way when you're ready to listen. It's there to warn you, inspire you, and guide you. Just listen, Amina ✨ #InnerWisdom #TrustYourIntuition #WhispersOfTheSoul #IntuitiveGuidance #InnerVoicePower #EmbraceYourInstincts #NavigatingLife #IntuitionJourney

When Does Silence Become Consent? It's the seemingly harmless remarks, the suggestive jokes, the casual touches – they intrude into our comfort zone, often without invitation. We feel cornered, uneasy... yet we remain silent. Why? Why do we stay mute when our inner selves cry out? Is it fear? Concern for social harmony? Or are they the voices that say we're overreacting? Perhaps it's because we blur the boundaries between discomfort and obviousness until it's too late. Sexual harassment is omnipresent. Even if we find this topic unpleasant, we often push it aside, hoping it will vanish on its own. But this issue won't vanish, not even if we close our eyes to it. On the contrary, our ignorance only worsens it. Perhaps now is the moment to pause and ask: Where exactly does sexual harassment begin, and where does it end? When we reflect on ourselves, we not only open up our inner selves, but also broaden our perspective on others. We develop an expanded awareness of our own voice and emotions. At the same time, the question arises: Why do we hesitate when we witness harassment? Is it a lack of empathy or the thought that it's none of our business? Or are they our own fears that hold us back? True strength lies in recognizing and taking action. How can you muster the courage to clearly say: "Stop! Here is my boundary!" Your feelings are legitimate. In this journey of self-reflection, action, and compassion, lies the message of change. A message that reminds us we're not powerless and teaches us that self-love is the first step to protecting ourselves and standing up for others. By naming the darkness, we bring forth the light. Through action, we shape a world of respect and equality. Let us be courageous, use our voice to create a world where everyone feels safe, respected, and heard!

Imagine if the Earth were your beloved, your friend, your life partner. A being of immeasurable beauty and depth, carrying a history spanning billions of years. How would you treat her? Would you cherish and protect her, just as you would for a loved one? What if every sunrise and sunset were precious moments you shared with your beloved Earth? The warm rays painting across the landscape could be tender touches, reminding us of the importance of valuing each moment. How would you feel knowing your actions influence the Earth's smile? Would you take care not to bring tears to her eyes? Your beloved Earth, adorned with wounds and scars, some from past decisions when wisdom eluded us. But as with someone you love, you might ask yourself: How can I help? How can I contribute to restoring Earth's beauty and vitality? By making sustainable choices and showing compassion for all life, you could step by step aid in her recovery. Imagine if you could declare your love for the Earth anew every day. Every action, every decision, a manifestation of your affection. You could honor, respect, and revere the Earth, just as you would for a beloved person. Ultimately, Earth is more than just a place we inhabit – she's a living, precious gift to safeguard and love. I'm deeply grateful to have shared this wonderful experience with you during the eco-sexual walk at the BUGA, deepening my connection to the Earth and nature. @qzm_mannheim @buga23 @anniesprinkled @ebethstephens @mithumelanie @joybrookefairfield @theonlyshayma @chrisslag @mithumelanie @andereanna

To find myself, I had to let go and accept - every day. For many years, I thought I wouldn't survive the constant physical and mental violence of my youth. When I was strong enough to break free, it was a first step... but far from the end. I had lost myself and any sense of the value of my life. ...a thousand times I wondered what purpose my life had. ...I felt completely alone with my thoughts and my wounds. ...my body ached constantly, and my soul suffered from the remnants of abuse. Every single day was a torment. And I didn't know how I could ever leave behind everything that happened to me. How could I lead a "normal life"? I was desperate. Finally free from the abuse, yet trapped in endless thoughts in my head, and the question of "how"... It took time, but I decided I wanted to live. So, I had to confront all these questions and find the meaning of my life. Because I was certain: My life must have a purpose. So, I began to write down my story. Writing this book was the beginning of my self-determined life, my journey to myself. It opened up the meaning and purpose of my life and revealed my true identity. I had tremendous fear of publishing my story, but I didn't let that stop me, because... This is my story, the truth about my life, and I had the courage to tell it... for you, for me, and for all the people out there who want to help themselves. Give your story a voice, because the child who survived all these negative experiences simply deserves to be heard and healed. Write it down, find the value of your life, and share it with others. Have the courage to tell your story with all your authenticity, your feelings, your perceptions, and emotions. With your bravery, you can save another person's life. Don't let your fear win.

Each time I share my story, I feel a release.... It is not an easy task to accept the path I had to take, the hurdles life put in my way, the choices my parents made and what they meant for me.... But it's getting easier to talk about.... Because I know how many people I reach with it, how they also start to tell their stories …and lift the curtain behind which so much grief, pain and sadness is hidden. You can't always tell what story is hidden inside a person, what path they have had to walk and what pain they have had to endure. That is why it is even more important to listen and provide a platform for these people to feel safe and share their story. No one should carry their pain alone, doubt whether they deserve love or believe that they deserve what happened to them. Often we feel isolated with our thoughts and think that no one can understand our feelings. But this is not true. When we start talking about it, others will also have the courage to share their stories and you will realise that you are not alone. There are people who can relate to exactly how you feel. There is a way out of the darkness and you don't have to walk it alone. And that is exactly why I keep sharing my story. No matter how hard it is to talk about what happened to me. I fight every day to live the life I want. And that's exactly what you deserve! Don't let your fear limit you and start telling your story. You will see: you are not alone! Be strong, ok?

Nature is a gift that inspires and touches us every day ✨. ...if we are willing to accept it. For a long time I have felt a deep connection to nature. It is the connection to my innermost being and to this beautiful earth where there is so much for us to discover. Every day when I feel the wind in my hair or the sun on my skin, I feel the energy flowing through my body. Nature influences my life on many levels: It gives me the opportunity to calm down and recharge my batteries in a hectic everyday life. Here I find a place to order my thoughts and strengthen my faith. My worries and fears fade and I feel alive and free 🌿 My faith in the power of nature is unshakeable. It reminds me that we are all part of a greater whole and that life is a wonderful cycle. By preserving and respecting the beauty of nature, we help to maintain this cycle and preserve the precious connection between body, mind and mother earth 🌏 This is exactly the approach taken by the two US artists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens. For BUGA 23 (Bundesgartenshow 2023), they have created "The Earth as Lover" - an eco-sexual walk in which, together with drag performers, ballroom artists and art performers, they bring to life the interconnectedness between human and non-human matter. With "The Earth as Lover", the queer community presents itself as part of society. As a hetero, I am honoured to be part of this great event from 19.08-23.08 and I look forward to meeting many of you 🫶 Love and Light, Amina #BUGA23 #tellyourstory #Bundesgartenschau #queercommunity #natureisagift #energyflow #energybalance #natureloves #natureismagic #diversityinclusion

My main work is taking up a lot of my time right now. My full time job, in addition to my regular training and treatments at the chiropractor have made me very tired.... RECREATION is very important especially because I am doing a lot of physical changes; if I don’t keep that recreation phase, then my body forces me to do it… Therefore, it is very important to hit the brakes in time...to shift down a gear to give the body the rest it needs. This also means setting priorities, even if it means sacrificing something that is important to you or something you would like to do right now….. What is RECREATION? Everybody defines recreation differently. For me, for example, recreation means sleeping a lot, lying in the sun, being alone with myself and letting my thoughts wander or meeting with friends... In this way I get energy again…. Life is always an up and down, like a roller coaster ride. To get on the roller coaster, it is advisable to overcome your fears, right? The beauty of a roller coaster ride is that you are not alone and you are riding the roller coaster through life together with other people.... It is through this community that we overcome fear and thus achieve our destiny to go through life with joy.... It is our destiny to feel joy. But how can we preserve that in our daily lives? By sharing our stories with each other. Nora from @igdraspace , Claire @clairecommon.official and I invite you to share your stories with us in a podcast series to encourage and inspire others.

Until I started my therapy, I didn’t know I was traumatized, I didn’t know what flashbacks were, I didn’t know that physical violence and abuse of any kind was a crime! Strong feelings of guilt accompanied me constantly. Various physical ailments were the order of the day.. My intuition led me to the right therapist.... I was afraid that he would not believe me, but he did! He cleared me up and relief spread through me.... We gradually transformed negative emotions into positive ones.... Filled with positive emotions, I saw things differently.... Retribution and forgiveness are very close to each other, retribution is hate and forgiveness is love Knowing that even perpetrators were once victims, I decided to forgive! And it was much easier than I thought… Because love asked me: “And what have you learned from these experiences?” “You can’t change the past, what now?” What I learned was: To accept my history in order to be able to rewrite it.... To feel compassion for my mothers and fathers.... To recognize and eliminate my flashbacks.... Understood to never underestimate or overestimate my flashbacks! I cannot change my past… but I can change my present to heal old wounds, to steer my future in a positive direction. Yes, this is how my entire system began to regenerate, both psychologically and physically It is a life’s work to heal our traumatic experiences.... I am glad that with the right therapist healing is possible for us, Dare...it’s your gift to yourself… @dennis_moser_personaltraining @fuchs_und_moeller #stopabuse #empowerment #trauma

I remember a time when I didn't want to live anymore.... A time when I FELT very lonely.... A time when I dragged myself through my life.... I was restless and anxious… This time was full of shadows and darkness.... Yes, it was dark, very dark… And then I saw a light around me.. I started to realize that I should NOT leave now… I realized that I am loved… that despite everything, I am protected by life... An unknown calmness and silence filled me... ...I still feel it today! A few years later I had the strength to take responsibility for my life, I finally had the courage to break out... This decision alone has given my life a new turn.... This turn has led me to wonderful and loving people, People who have enriched my life without realizing it.... It made me understand that I am never alone, there is always someone there.... There is always a way out of the darkness.... Never give up and take your time Amina

✨✨✨You are wonderful ✨✨✨ Link to my book in bio😘

"When you want something very badly, the whole universe works to make your dream come true" What is your dream? What are you on fire for? Not an easy question, is it? I have many dreams, but I burn for only one.... The dream to walk again is immense, This dream has always been in me… What was missing was the courage to walk this path.... What was missing was the belief to do it.... What was missing was the knowledge to make it happen.... This dream was slumbering so deep that it had been forgotten.... Like an onion I peeled off the shells that prevented me from doing so, Peel by peel to the golden core.... Then I saw this fire blazing.... Saw my soul sitting in front of it, I sat down and we talked... Inner peace spread in me and around me... I knew then, I will follow this path forever.... An indomitable willingness was born, This willingness is a protective mantle against storms.... This willingness is the connection to the universe.... You can do it too! Dare to dream, because life is exactly for that... You have the right to develop yourself, You have earned the right to live your dream, no matter what others say... Sit down, think about what you would like to change in your life.... What can you do to make that change.... Remember, everything has its time.... Go this way step by step and don’t forget to look behind you from time to time… To see how far you have already come.... Like everything in life, there are also the two poles negative and positive, so be mindful of what you wish for… Also be ready to bear the consequences of your actions.... Connect with your soul and.... You will see how the universe will work for you.... Ease and bliss will become your companionship.... But the most important thing is not to give up! Never give up! Amina ✨ #nevergiveup #traumasurvivors #bepowerful

The biggest fear I had before writing my book was how people would react to it. What if negative criticism comes? How will I deal with it? Can I handle it at all? I thought I was alone with this fear.... Until I talked to others about it.... They too were afraid of a backlash.... This fear is a REAL fear, therefore justified.... This fear is way too complex, therefore not controllable.... Do I really want to be influenced by this fear? NO! Then I realized that I can't be afraid to tell my version of the story. My version is who I am.... My version is peace loving… My version is understanding… My version is Powerful… My version is loving... But then the opposite of my fears happened, countless people feel inspired by my story.... Turning your own story into a meaningful book is a huge task to accomplish. But despite all the fears and challenges, there is one thing that remains true.... And that is that your TRUTH is the most important thing you have. Have the courage to tell your story with all your authenticity with your feelings, with your perceptions and with your feelings. Your story is your truth! This means that you can tell your truth honestly and as authentically as possible in order to positively influence and inspire others. To help yourself it is important to give a voice to the child in you. The child who has survived all these negative experiences simply deserves to be heard and healed. Writing your story will be the most transformative journey you will ever take, even if you choose not to publish it. But if you do publish it, you have no idea how much impact you can make. And if it saves just one life, or helps just one person break their silence, or even helps break a generational chain.... then it's all worth it. Don't let fear stop you from telling your version of the story. You can do this.

Covid came to visit me for the first time😱 so I was sick for a while and am so glad to be back now! I wanted to start my training quietly. I had to pause for so long that I didn't know how to walk again. After the 3rd round I came in and my steps are much better than ever before! As they say there is strength in serenity ✨✨✨ He says: imagine digging your toes into the ground and holding it as long as you can. Suddenly my gait changed🥳. Look at the power of imagination😉 Dennis Moser Training & Therapie Never give up 🤙🏽

2022 was a year full of realizations and successes for me! I thank all those who have told me their story ❤️ Thank you for your courage🙏🏾 We are survivors and have the power to rewrite our own story. We have realized that it is time to recognize negative patterns so that we are neither victims nor perpetrators. I say consciously recognize and not put it down! We can only put down something when we have come to insight. Through insight comes the willingness to accept light and shadow. 2023 is now here and let us continue to break the silence, because: It is time to accept light and shadow It is time to be honest with ourselves It is time to step out of the victim role It is time to stop manipulating others It is time to be authentic It is time to forgive It is time to open our hearts It is time to live It is time to break our silence It's time to speak up It's time to tell our story It’s time to be LOUDER Happy new year ✨✨✨ #breakthesilence #mindset #survivors #happynewyear2023 #nevergiveup #stopchildabuse #empowerment

Life is a long journey, isn’t it? #trauma #traumahealingjourney #breakthesilence #bepoweful #stopabuse #mindset #nevergiveup

When we have gone through childhood trauma, why do we grow up feeling like we are not good enough? Why do we struggle to accept love and kindness from others? Why do we tend to live our lives never experiencing what it’s like to be our true selves? Because as children we learned to not pay attention to our feelings. And over time, it creates a disconnection between who we are when showing up in the world and who we are in our hearts. We don't get traumatized because we were hurt, we get traumatized because we are alone with that hurt. Silence is a breathing group for the deadliest of viruses to grow. It’s why people become drug addicts, it’s why people become alcoholics and it’s why many commit suicide. Yet, underneath the shells of all those who have been through trauma, lies a person who has never found expression in their life. And this creates someone who feels so alienated that they will do absolutely anything to escape the reality in which they currently live. This is why my message of “breaking the silence” is so loud! To break the silence to ourselves first, in as many different ways as possible, and then to others. Because then we have gotten ourselves to a stage where we have accepted our truth. We have accepted what's happened to us. We have realized that shame isn't who we are. And we have realized it wasn't our fault. We no longer wear the shoes of a victim anymore, but rather, those of a survivor. I believe that behind every mask is someone who desperately needs love. And I also believe it's not our job to change our story, but rather, to own it instead. Because if we don't, then the generational cycle of abuse continues. If you are alive today, then you already have all the proof you need to show you just how strong you are. So know that it's okay to not be okay, but also know that you have it within you to be free.

I know how much it takes to talk about the taboo subjects of "sexual abuse and domestic violence"! Many people in my close environment knew about it, for whatever reason, some kept silent! Others pointed the finger at me and the rest just ignored it! I have tried to talk about it several times to get help. Finally I was heard by a man, my school principal! I didn't know until then that he worked before for the police and knew a lot about domestic violence. Honestly, I did not have to tell him so much, my face already said everything! My lips were chapped, cheeks swollen and a black eye! Needless to say, I was all broken up! Thanks to this brave man my life got a new turn. I felt nevertheless shortly afterwards like a betrayer although I was the "victim"! After that I kept silent again for years! I thought if I don't talk about it, then this inner pain will disappear forever. But the opposite was the case! The only thing I did with it was to repress. Through my silence and not wanting to look deeper, this suffering manifested itself in my body. These are typical symptoms of PTSD: Re-experiencing: Intrusions(recurring feelings and memories) Flashbacks, nightmares. Over-excitement, nervousness, jumpiness, insomnia. Irritability, impatience, bad temper. Avoidance, emotional numbness, passivity, withdrawal, Mistrust feelings of shame and guilt, lowered self-esteem, etc.... For me, it got so bad that one day my life was on the line! Since I was not yet ready to leave this world, I fought with myself for a long time to admit that I need professional HELP to stay alive. I was ready to break my silence again! Through my psychologist I understood that our brain cannot forget or process traumatic experiences just like that. When I started to accept and process these experiences, the symptoms improved. I understood that it is very important for us survivors to talk about our experiences and that we have nothing to be ashamed of! By breaking our silence we can better help each other and make sure that this is not a taboo subject. 📸 @silver.shooting.mw #nevergiveup💪 #breakyoursilence #bodytransformation #talkaboutit #blackandwhite #photoshooting

I never thought it was possible to walk like this again after 30 years of paralysis! The first 16 years were marked by sexual abuse and domestic violence! My body, mind and soul have suffered some scars and injuries. 10 years ago I set myself the goal to walk again, driven by the thought that all the information I need to do it is already inside me, since I already walked as a child, before the vaccine damage. Did I know that this would work? No, because I have not tried it! What would happen if I tried it? Is not the way the goal? Goals are achieved step by step. But one day the whole path becomes visible. Although this path is exhausting, it is worth it. @dennis_moser_personaltraining @fuchs_und_moeller @world.of.sci @starkmacher_official #nevergiveup #destinyorfate #empowerment #womanpower #bodymindsoul #physiotherapie #learningwalking #adaptiveathlete #strongwomen #coaching #changeyourlifestyle #changeyourthoughts

✨Yesterday we organized an Easter craft for parents and children. A 5 year old girl from Ukraine gave me this self-made Easter card just like that! I was very surprised and touched❤️ ✨Although her life has changed dramatically from one day to the next, she is still generous😊 ✨Can you remember as a child giving something to someone you saw for the first time? ✨When was the last time you made someone happy and how did you feel afterwards? #peace #generosity #belikeachild #prayforukraine #nevergiveup💪 #bestrong💪 #bodysoulmind #eastercrafts #kulturbrueckenmannheim

Before, I never came to rest because I was constantly thinking, even at night! I could not stop this stream of thoughts. At that time I was even afraid of my own emotions and my body I did not perceive. But one day I realized that there is a connection between my thoughts, emotions and body.....It was not easy to make this connection, but look at the result😉 Do you want to know more?

IDENTITY & DIGNITY Self-love is not just a state of feeling good about yourself, but an action. Self-love is also a choice. It is a way you treat yourself. It involves being understanding of your mistakes, sympathetic to your losses, and able to communicate effectively with yourself about life without judging or punishing yourself harshly. Setting boundaries is very important. It's okay to say "no" when you won't do something. Love yourself enough to make the right decision for yourself, not for someone else. Allow yourself to love yourself #readingbook #newauthor #authorquotes #forwomenbywomen #empoweryourself #empoweringwomen #selflove #dreambigworkhard #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublishing #selfpublished #hopeandfaith #identity #dignity

This inner fire really does exist, often all it takes is a spark to kindle it.

I have learned over the years to let go, which was very difficult at the beginning. Difficult why? Because I have not noticed at all that I hold on! So I dealt with the topic of holding on! Then it became clear to me that it is the past that I am holding on to, but why since I live in the here and now? What does the past mean to me and what better to let go of? I finally went into myself with the question "is my past serving me?". The answer was unequivocal YES, because the bad experiences are the ones that taught me and the good ones nourished me and then the letting go went by itself. And if that's the result, then I'm damn happy to let go. #nevergiveup💪 #bethebestversionofyou #personaltraining #physiotherapie #orthese #orthetik #bodymindsoul #istheskythelimit #learningwalker #strongwoman

My left orthotic arrived today!!! Finally I can put on my shoes size😜 It is so incredibly nice to be able to stand properly on both legs! I can feel that my left leg has gained strength. It is alive! I can tense and control it without using much energy! And now it carries me too😭 …today I felt that walking is actually quite easy. I was and am emotionally very touched that I have come so far with great support! I can now really dream of cycling, running, dancing and sit-ups 😂 but until then I'm happy when I can walk longer distances....🙏🏾 @dennis_moser_personaltraining @fuchs_und_moeller @world.of.sci @cuylacoogan ♥️ #learningwalking #nevergiveup #transformation #mindbodysoul #persönlichkeitsentwicklung #personaltraining #physiotherapie #orthesen #sichüberwinden #beatyourself

In the meantime, I have come so far...I am standing now very well on my right leg as my knee has become more stable. My left leg is also improving! The years of discipline are paying off, my goal has become more tangible. I can encourage everyone to work on themselves, it's worth it💪🏽 @dennis_moser_personaltraining @world.of.sci #learningwalking #physiotherapie #workoutonmywaytowork #bodysoulspirit #beyourself #inspiration #nevergiveup

Jetzt traue ich mich schon mehr auf Links zu stehen! Aaron hat extra die linke Seite gefilmt, weil es am schwersten für mich ist und bis jetzt musste immer jemand daneben stehen, falls ich umkippe😂(was noch nie passiert ist). Es ist sehr anstrengend und ich muss mich Mega konzentrieren. Langsam bekomme ich ein gefühlt dafür wie es ist freihändig zu stehen 😉 Danach bin ich einfach nur platt 🥱😴doch es tut so gut jeden genutzte Muskeln zu spüren😊 ich fühle mich eins mit meinem Körper! So schön diese Erfahrung….never give up! 💪🏽🤙🏽 • • • #nevergiveup #strongwomen #strongmind #dreamscometrue #physiotherapie #training #walking #learninghowtowalkagain #learninghowtowalk #selfdiscovery

Da bin ich wieder, sorry für die lange Abwesenheit.....Ich habe seit ein paar Monaten neue Unterschenkeln Orthesen, damit ich aktiv mehr machen kann!

Thanks for the #challenge #challengeaccepted @menooshasusungi 🙏🏾 I love it!!! By telling my story I would like to empower women who experience or have experienced violence to recognize their true power and inner beauty and to develop their full potential. • It is time to stop being ashamed of being raped, humiliated or abused.

Look at my knees!!! That was more than a month ago...I am still very overwhelmed that after 7 years of hard training I can walk like this!

What is your best journey in life? • • The difference to before is that my legs react very strongly to the training and I feel new sore muscles. Sometimes it hurts so much that I ask myself why all this, but then I think very quickly "exactly because of that! It is indescribable how beautiful it is to feel myself in such a new way.

A post-traumatic stress disorder is always preceded by an experience which was perceived as life-threatening for oneself and/or others or which led to a serious physical or mental injury. Causes include violent crime, war, sexual abuse, traffic accidents, natural disasters and medical emergencies such as a heart attack or life-threatening bleeding. The news that a close friend or relative has died or is seriously ill can also be perceived as traumatic. Stress such as divorce, job loss or bullying does not lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. However, they can trigger individual typical PTSD symptoms and sometimes also depression or anxiety disorders. • • • • #nevergiveup #strongwoman #strongwomen #motivation #motivationmonday💪 #bestrong #traumatica #emdrtherapy #emdr #liveyourlife #fitnessgirl #walking #newbegining #workout #mindbodysoul #lovelife #coaching

A few years ago I had to change my life fundamentally because of a "post-traumatic stress disorder"! Until then I was not so aware of the strong connection between body and mind!!! I was paralyzed, wasn't I? The one has nothing to do with the other, I thought. But my strong and fast physical changes say something different... The main work on this journey takes place on the mental level. It is always about turning negative thoughts into positive ones, it is very necessary to become aware of oneself! Our thoughts are food for our body. • • • • • #nevergiveup #changeyourmind #bestrong #lovelife #emdrtherapy #believeinyourself #transformation #innervisions #bodymindsoul #bodypositivity #motivation #traumasurvivor #strongwoman #strongwomen

Alleine für diesen Moment hat sich das Jahre lange Training gelohnt! Ich war sehr nervös vor der Anprobe und Zweifel kam sogar auf, doch dann passierte das unglaubliche!

In der Realität vermisse ich das Surfen sehr, doch in meiner Fantasie reite ich jeden Tag eine schöne Welle! Das wiederhole ich solange bis meine Fantasie zur Realität wird...Aber bis dahin surfe ich genüsslich auf die „Schillerwelle“. Ich bin immer noch vom gestrigen Theaterstück “Odisseia” von CIA. HIATO aus Brasilien begeistert! Das Stück verbindet Homers „Odyssee“ mit persönliche Erfahrungen der einzelnen Darsteller des Ensembles. Besonders ergriffen bin ich von der Geschichte von Aura Cunha die Produzentin, die so mutig ist ihre schmerzhafte Geschichte mit der Welt zu teilen und somit Größe zeigt! „Strong Woman Alarm 🚨“ @annamatu @cafoundation #schillertage2019 #schillerfieber #nationaltheatermannheim #stadtensembles #stadtensemble #theaterfestival #surfinggirl #adaptiveathlete #heroesofsport #caffoundation #adaptivesurfing #strongwoman #strongwomen

Ich bin sehr glücklich und ja sogar stolz dieses Jahr bei den „Schillertage“ als Jury Mitglied mitwirken zu dürfen 🤗 Während des Festivals besucht die Stadtjury dann ausgewählte Inszenierungen. In gemeinsamen Jurysitzungen werden die Aufführungen anschließend besprochen, beschrieben und bewertet. Was ist Kunst? Was macht das Theater mit mir? Wer kann und darf wie über Kunst sprechen? „Maria Stuart von Claudia Bauer“ I am very happy and even proud to be a member of the city jury for this year's "Schillertage"🤗 During the festival, the city jury visits selected productions. The performances are then discussed, described and evaluated in joint jury sessions. What is art? What does the theatre do with me? Who can and may talk about art and how? „Maria Stuart from Claudia Bauer“ #schillertage2019 #nationaltheatermannheim #theaterfestival #theater #art #whatisart #mariastuart #bedifferent #schiller #mannheim

Wenn ich sage „wir sind Stärker als wir denken“ dann meine ich das ernsthaft, denn ich weiß wovon ich spreche! Meine Kindheit und Jugend waren sehr von Missbrauch, Gewalt und Einsamkeit geprägt! Es hat mich danach Jahre gekostet um diese steinige Straße zu verlassen. Heute sind Liebe, Mut und Gemeinschaftlichkeit meine Wegbegleitern. When I say "we are stronger than we think" I mean that seriously, because I know what I am talking about! My childhood and youth were marked by abuse, violence and loneliness! It took me years afterwards to leave this stony street. Today love, courage and community are my companions. #youarestrongerthanyouthink #portraitphoto #lessonsoflife #nevergiveup #beyourbestversion #strongwoman #lightandlove #namaste #believeinyourself

Ich trainiere einmal die Woche im Olympia-Stützpunkt mit Katja Schumacher, die mehrfache Deutsche Triathlon-Meisterin und Ironman-Siegerin ist.
