Some of the work does not look like work at all. Some of the work does not look like work at all.

Sometimes it looks like rest. Sometimes it looks like saying no. Sometimes it looks like doing 10 minutes when you wish you could do 60. Sometimes it looks like sitting on the couch and letting the day be small.

If you are someone who has spent your whole life proving you can push through, this part of the work will feel like failure at first. But try looking at it like this instead: it is part of what your nervous system has been asking you for the whole time.

A little reminder ❤️

#chronicpain #nervoussystemawareness #restisimportant #mentalawareness
I am not posting this from the other side of a fla I am not posting this from the other side of a flare. I am posting it from inside one.

For two weeks I have been doing the work I teach… pacing, resting, listening, modifying. None of it has fixed it.

And I have caught myself spiraling into the exact thoughts I would gently redirect a patient out of. “I should know better.” “I am the expert in this.” “What am I doing wrong?”

Here is what this flare has reminded me. Knowing the framework does not exempt you from living inside it. A regulated nervous system is not a permanent state. It is a relationship you keep coming back to. And the moments when nothing is working are not proof you are doing it wrong. They are proof your body is asking for something you have not figured out how to give it yet.

If you are in it too right now, I am right there with you. Tell me what is in your bucket this week. Let’s all share some support with one another.

I did a workout that should have been easy and los I did a workout that should have been easy and lost two weeks to it. Six months ago that same workout was nothing. Nothing about my body broke. My capacity is just being asked to cover more than it used to.

This is the thing I want every woman with chronic pain to understand before she beats herself up one more time. Your nervous system is not separating “the hard workout” from “the rough week at work” from “the night you barely slept.” It is pulling from one pool to handle all of it.

When you stop asking “what should I be able to do” and start asking “what can my body support today,” everything gets easier. Not in a wellness-quote way. In a real, your-actual-life way.
If your bucket has been full for a while, tell me what is in it.

Save this for the next time your body does something you do not understand. You will want the reminder.
