*It's a strange world where we think the faster we go, the more we'll get done *Maybe the key to more quality of life and a more paced, self-kind life is not to ADD MORE BUT TO ADD LESS *Maybe slowing down gives us more headspace for the things that really count *When you have chronic pain or illness you have to learn a different way *Your symptoms force you to slow down and be more selective *Carry on powering through like you always have and you often suffer *So there's no choice but to slow down and listen in.. *And maybe in that is a hidden blessing #chronicillness #chronicpain #slowdown #slowdowntime #paceyourself #mindfullife #mindfulness #qualityoflife #qualityoverquantity #yogatherapy #paincoaching #therapeuticyoga #invisibleillness #livewellwithpain #Painawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRg5wKDU5O/?igshid=1ctwua41kfgrl

Do you have a mind body disconnect? . Are they at odds? . In your mind there are no limits to what you can do . You’re still the same person you were before your chronic symptoms set in . You can move freely, without thought or apprehension (and sometimes you forget and do!) . You have energy and vitality . Your body is an ally, a vehicle to fulfil your hopes, desires and aspirations . BUT THAT’S IN YOUR HEAD.. . THE REALITY IS SADLY DIFFERENT . Your body no longer obeys your mind . Your body won’t keep up with your brain . Your body has an advanced firewall that’ll trigger with the slightest provocation . Listen to your body and life is limited . Listen to your brain and you’ll push through, flare up and pay for it . What’s the solution? . A middle ground . Learn to appreciate the optimism of your mind, don’t lose what you love . But stay grounded in what the body says (knowing that it's not always right and sometimes gets muddled) . Learn patience with your body but don’t give in . Find a new normal - for now, and build steadily from there . Slow, Steady and Self-kind is THE way! 🤝I'd love to support you 🤝 🧘‍♀️JOIN A FREE MINDFUL MOVEMENT CLASS CLASS MONDAYS IN FEB REGISTER LINK IN BIO🧘‍♀️ ☎️or message me to arrange a free clarity call ☎️ #bodyintelligence #painmanagement #chronicpain #invisiblellness #livewellwithpain #pacing #fibromyalgia #fibrowarrior #painwarrior #arthritis #rheumatoidarthritis #paincoaching #mindbodyconnection #selfawareness #Painawareness #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #selfkindness #selfcompassion #mindfullife #therapeuticyoga #yogatherapy #painspecialist #mindfulnessforhealth #selfcompassion #butyoudontlooksick https://www.instagram.com/p/CKw1jzxD0fD/?igshid=zyqbe75mr0yh

🤝 Scientific research shows that perceived social support correlated to quality of life in Breast cancer patients and cancer survivors 🤝 Poor social support correlated to increased functional limitation in early cancer patients 🤝 Evidence suggests that social support promotes effective chronic illness self-management 🤝 Social support involves the perception of someone caring for us and a resultant feeling of wellbeing (Hupcey,1998) 🤝 It makes sense that when we go through anything difficult, feeling the warmth, care, understanding and practical support of others can have a buffering or mitigating effect. 🤝 Living with a chronic invisible illness, can make us feel misunderstood and disbelieved; as a result we withdraw and isolate ourselves reducing our ability to cope 🤝 Being supported by others who have the same struggles makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE 🤝 Leave a 💜 or comment below if supportive friends or family have helped you through a difficult time or chronic illness 🤝..and DONT BE ALONE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, develop those supportive connections 🤝 Join my group course, starting tomorrow June 7 at 430pm UK time - LINK IN BIO.
