Our individual perceptions are temporary limitations adopted by something far greater. Stay alive, stay awake, stay aware... stay conscious 🌼🌼 . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #breconbeacons #livelifeonemountainatatime
'It is true: we love life not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.' -Nietzsche 🌍🌿💙 . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #breconbeacons #livelifeonemountainatatime
My local wall has closed now along with every other wall in the country. I've got difficult weeks ahead of me without the place I've grown to love for its sense of community and its positive influence on my mental health. I know this is an 'insignificant' nothing in the face of global epidemic and mortality, but nevertheless it means a temporary loss of the main thing which has pulled me out of a decade of despair and self-destruction. In the past few weeks especially, the wall has served as a checkpoint for sanity in the face of emotional abandonment and familial struggle. Am I scared? You better fucking believe it! Am I eager to see just how strong I've become in the face of this new test of resilience? You betcha 💪 . . . . As some of you may know, I am an affiliate of @notthesaferouteuk who make this groovy Happy Mountain T-shirt in support of mental health awareness. I am proud to be involved with such a beautiful and ethical company. See my 'Discounts' highlight to get 15% off your order and donate to @climbersagainstcancerofficial 🥰 . .

Already missing last weekend in Brecon with a friend... We went rainbow chasing near the famous four waterfalls 🌈 I am profoundly glad I spent the weekend the way I did- doing what I did with who I did it- in light of the personal and global chaos of this week so far. Stay peaceful, everyone. It's still a beautiful time to be alive 💙 . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #breconbeacons #livelifeonemountainatatime

Are you a climber or mountaineer? Are you diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? I am drafting an article about pursuing climbing and mountaineering with OCD. I am a writer and climber based out of Birmingham, UK. My background is in mental health literature and I am keen to hear about other's experiences with OCD and the influence or impact it may have on their outdoor adventure pursuits. If you are a frequent climber (outdoors bouldering, sport or trad) or mountaineer diagnosed with OCD who would be willing to be briefly interviewed on these topics, please get in touch at rowconway@yahoo.com or private message me here on Instagram. Please also feel free to ask any questions or request further information through these means. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance to all who volunteer their time! . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #livelifeonemountainatatime
Moody day in Clent today. Sometimes the weather weathers you, sometimes it's the only thing making you feel... I personally love a 'horrible day for it'. Makes you feel alive. Makes you feel like you've survived something even when you've just gone for a little run on the outskirts of Brum. Enjoy the rest of your week, everyone 💙 . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #clenthills #livelifeonemountainatatime
'I courted danger because danger was one of the few things strong enough to help me forget what I'd lost... I fell as fearlessly into my fate, that afternoon, as a man falls into love with a shy woman's best smile.' . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #longmynd #livelifeonemountainatatime
An indoor photo! Must be something special... Language frequently fails us in our quest to communicate the most important things. So we turn to art. The symbols humans create to try and represent consciousness delight me. The tree of life symbol is my favourite and the one that comes closest for me to representing a special sort of oneness. The cosmic tree, like me, is temporarily bound by the limitations of nature. But it's physicality does not hinder the ability of its branches and roots to tend towards complexities. It is infinitely growing, infinitely connected. I sleep under the tree of life. I make love under the tree of life. I lie under the tree of life, fully present. And now I can wear it, thanks to @ascending_rocks . . . . . #thisismyadventure #findyourepic #awakethesoul #keepitwild #choosemountains #mentalhealthawareness #mountainsforthemind #hiking #climbing #travel #travelphotography #mountaineering #adventure #mountains #naturephotography #getoutside #ukhikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #peoplewhoadventure #notthesaferoute #treeoflife #livelifeonemountainatatime
