A reminder for myself to take it easy (which is still hard!), a cool map, a shoutout to my acupuncturist, and a little review of the first month of this newsletter.
Thank you for this newsletter. I found it from a FB comment you made and reading your story and the story of the woman you linked to (I think her name was Joanna) made me really dive into learning more about brain retraining.
I'm considering a few programs at the moment. I feel like the mid-body aspect is a missing piece of my recovery puzzle, so I'm grateful to have learned more about it from your content.
Please do continue to care for yourself first. I'm nowhere near recovered, but even on my slightly better days I find myself wanting to do more b/c I've been doing so little (and sooooo tired of doing so little). But I hold off and make myself lie down or do nothing. That load of laundry can wait till tomorrow.
It absolutely can wait :) I will, thank you. And glad you're taking care of yourself, too! Thanks for sharing, and I'm so glad to hear it's been helpful. Let us know how it goes with the program!
Great to hear an update on how you’re getting on and how quickly things have taken off for you!
I consider myself fully healed (going to write a post on what this means to me and is no doubt a highly debatable topic😆) - I don’t identify with in remission so I’m owning what is most meaningful to me. Even though this happened 2 years ago and today is the first day I’m owning it.
In this 2 years I’ve had to continue rest like never before - in fact it’s been the hardest to do out of the last 6 years because I’ve experienced so much wellness.
I’ve kept work part time and prioritised my writing above everything.
Over autumn and winter I wound up in overdoing it mode and had to bring it back in January, restore myself back to balance.
Sustainability, balance and freedom are now my 3 main values and what I’ve created in my life is in alignment with all 3. Long may it continue🙏
Aw, such a lovely post and thanks for the shoutout :)
I do think this one is very helpful, it goes into the category of "personality work". I too find it hard to stop. I spent one year without being able to read, so now that I can, I've found it hard to stop myself (so many interesting infos and stories out there!). So far, the way I stop myself is by prioritizing the practices I know are helpful, including rest. "Do that first, then you can read some more." And reminding myself that the goal is to feel balanced.
Your newsletter has been incredibly helpful for me. So for sure you have helped at least one person :) From the first post I read, you have been a source of inspiration, seeing that you are recovering so incredibly quickly and have reflected so well what is helpful on your journey. Your newsletter reminds me to focus on my recovery, to make it my priority!

Very curious to read what healed means to you! :) Happy for you, and long may it continue indeed!
