What to do when you're struggling to do your health routines.
Some days, it feels pleasurable and easy to do all the routines you do you that help your health, but other days….other days, the thought of them just fills you with heaviness. In this episode I talk about some of the things I learnt that helped me. This is an audio version of my blogpost, please see my blog living an everyday kind of life.

How learning to not do things straightaway helped my ME/CFS.
I grew up believing that if I thought of something I wanted or needed to do, I should do it straightaway. Right NOW. This is my story of how I was able to shift that belief so allowing myself more self-compassion in my ME/CFS journey. I also suggest some steps to help you make this shift too. A written version of this is on my blog: Living an EveryDay Kind of Life.
Six ways to give Eden Energy Medicine the best chance to help your chronic illness.
When I first recovered from ME/CFS, I wanted everybody to experience the same euphoria as I did, the same delight in having a healthy life back.
I wanted to tell the world about how powerful Eden Energy Medicine was. My thinking at that time was very simple: have Eden Energy Medicine sessions and you’ll recover. If you've landed on this page and have no idea what Eden Energy Medicine is, have a look here!
But when I started to write and talk about what I’d done to recover, I began - over a couple of years! - to see that my recovery wasn’t simple at all, it was mind-blowing complex: a culmination of many, many steps, of many, many inner and outer changes. A thousand-piece jigsaw. A interwoven web. A inner and outer journey.
How did Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) fit into that jigsaw? Had being supported by that interconnected web made a difference to the effectiveness of Eden Energy Medicine?
I knew EEM hadn’t just helped me to recover, I also knew that it had helped many, many people (some of who had gone on to be practitioners) to recover from ME/CFS too. But I also knew that occasionally EEM sessions had helped someone but they hadn’t recovered. What did that mean?
This question has been rolling around in my head for a year or so now.
What is happening that some people are helped by EEM, and some aren’t? This episode aims to answer that question. A written version is on my blog Living an Everyday Kind of Life – Supportive, pragmatic, insightful posts into living well with and recovering from ME/CFS (wordpress.com)
Six steps to choose the best health practitioner for you.
One of the surprising differences as I was close to the end of my ME/CFS journey was how much more thorough I was in my approach to choosing the right health practitioner for me. I was no longer happy to have a casual approach 'Can you help me?' 'Yes' 'Okay, I'll see you'. Instead I took time and care. In this podcast, I'll be talking about the benefits of doing this and suggesting steps to follow. Please also see my blog post 'Six steps to choose the best health practitioner for you.' on everydaykindoflife.wordpress.com. Thank you!
