I saw your post to Cherry and having read your threads can see the wonderful perceptive Sotto encouraging you to take excellent care of you.
I echo that thought.
This process is a Marathon not a sprint. And extreme self care, I mean extreme self care, ordinary day to day stuff is insufficient.
Van der Kolk in his excellent book The body keeps the score, talks about the physiological effects of the trauma and stress. (Moderator this is a physiology based book......). That book changed my life, in that it taught me to focus on the things that keep me well.
Each of us has their own way of doing this and finding your way is key. It appears that looking after you will reduce the damage and perhaps even reverse past damage.
Now at the turn of the year is a great time for health goals. I strongly recommend them. If you read my threads you will find my goals and inspirations. Apart from the last 10lbs I have achieved every one.
I am proud to say I am healthier than ever having recovered from pneumonia, frozen shoulders, bowel disorder and oh those teeth accesses, mouth ulcers, hair loss. I had chest pains and joint inflammation.
All gone.
If an old cluck like V can do it, so can a whipper snapper like Nicole. ANd it's hard work to do and truly worth it. The gentle supportive RD really encouraged me along that road.
It's time dear Nicole to put you and your health as no 1 priority, not sure exactly what that means to you, sleep, juicing, exercise, self care, grooming, new clothes hair etc. IC, L advice, retrear
The impressive green grass turned her look around.
The ones that last here are those that use this amazing board as the opportunity for support for self change. This journey is about you and that includes goals for your health and extreme care.
So challenge
What are your goals for you?
What can you do to get back on track with your health?
Do you have bad habits that are wearing you down?
