Create beautiful healing days

Stop thinking about the disease.

I have had several relapses and, thus, several periods when all my complaints disappeared. Every time my symptoms vanished, it was after a specific type of week(s). In the beginning, I couldn’t really put my finger on it. Later, I realized I was doing more or less the exact same thing each time.

After a few weeks or months of living with my limited energy, I had to think a lot less about my fatigue, and I stopped talking about it. I started to enjoy my limited resources and wasn’t thinking about naps or pacing. I did it all automatically. Then, after that period, the real healing happened.

Living life to the fullest

My happiest moment list contains: nature, swimming, sunbathing, music, chatting, no pressure, good foods, and letting go of rigid things. Meaning letting go of a rigid sleep cycle, eating some unhealthy foods, but really enjoying them, and forgetting about my illness completely. I was really enjoying life as much as possible, no longer in resistance to symptoms but letting it all be. On some days, I even forget about my phone and messages.

I was still resting properly while sunbathing, and I felt stress-releasing signals. My heart rate was much lower, and I really enjoyed the inner peace and silence. It always felt like the re-invention of peace.

Within a week of living life to the fullest, my symptoms consistently disappeared. I was enjoying everything—food, weather, friends, nature, etc. A constant state of enjoyment or bliss. After a few weeks or months, they came back when I was engaging in stressful to-do-list thinking. But each time, I was able to have a longer period without symptoms. I have come to understand that a low heart rate is crucial. Neuroplasticity works great to lower it. I can in my head return to the week that I was enjoying swimming, a BBQ, and sunbathing with a good friend.

If you have one of these weeks, keep doing what works! If not, take a break from trying to heal and heal differently.

Acceptance and letting go

The moments where I enjoyed my life the most, despite having severe symptoms or other problems, were the most beautiful moments I experienced in life. When I had a chronic disease, I relearned how to enjoy life again. To do this, you need the skills of acceptance and letting go. It is impossible to control life, but you can control your reaction to everything you don’t like. Therefore, let’s talk about acceptance and letting go.

Acceptance

Many of you are struggling with acceptance. Sometimes we think acceptance means not changing. But it’s actually quite the opposite.

Only through acceptance can something change; otherwise, we remain in resistance, where change is actually impossible.

1. Accept your symptoms, your life situation, and everything else as it is; this moves you out of resistance and into the rest and digest mode of the nervous system.

2. When you go into full acceptance, you completely allow your emotions.
We undertake all the necessary tools and preparation exercises to assist you in reclaiming your true self and fully embracing your experience. It’s your natural way of being. Resisting your emotions is what causes your symptoms.

Letting go

There are many concepts out there for letting go. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Oh, just let it go” quite often. Don’t think about it anymore; forget it and move on.”

You can’t let go when you haven’t processed the emotion associated with the situation or belief you’re clinging to.

Truly letting go means feeling that emotion through, so it can leave your body and then move into the empowered version of yourself or the empowered belief. Only then can you let go, move on, and leave that situation behind.

This is also the place where true forgiveness can happen for yourself and others.
