I thought about all the recovery stories I've interviewed, heard or experienced myself and worked out what they all had in common. And then I put them together into a shorter episode for easy listening.

Calming is an "in the moment" return to rest & digest.

Regulated is what we become over time - more resilient.

It can be easy to give up on the little things because they don't seem to make a big impact.

These small changes lay the ground work. The small changes add up to the big changes.

Keep doing the small stuff, and the bigger stuff will come

Your body is protecting you.

That's what our nervous system does. It runs our body functions, and it's our alarm system. When it shuts down, it's because it's feeling unsafe.

Our job in healing, is learning to feel safe. Not easy, but it gets easier.

I thought I'd share this little reel I put together using messages people had left on my "buy me a coffee" page. Makes me cry every time.

I want to remind you that you are worthy and loved, just the way you are.

Just because you are working on yourself doesn't mean that you're not awesome just now.

Maybe things all feel like they are awful and hopeless. That doesn't alter your worth. Remember that.

Your breath.

We breathe approx 25000 breaths a day. Those breaths can serve us, or hinder us.

We can learn & practise this - and it was the first thing that helped me in my recovery.

The breath is the fastest way to shift our biochemistry

No magic pill? Do some gentle breathing that will help
Can't go to a big social event? Have one friend over for coffee.
Can't go for a walk? Spend a few minutes in the garden.

We can't fix everything all at once. We can do small things, however small they are.

Something we often struggle with - when I was sick with Long Covid I spent a lot of time fighting against the illness, acceptance, myself.

I was holding onto a lot of stuff - expectations, beliefs, the things I wanted to do. And being kinder to myself was what I actually needed to do. To stop fighting and accept myself in that moment. In that moment- not forever!!

I have reminders of the need to be gentle with myself when I get a cold - It's not fun being sick, or an injury, but I know it will pass and that my body will handle it in a "normal" way. And that the best thing I can do is be gentle with myself.

So I try to let go of expectations of a super productive week, hitting goals and focus in on the things that really needed doing. And taking plenty of time to chill, hydrate, breathe and sleep.

We often think we have to be superhuman. We forget that we only see what others want us to see.

We shouldn't compare ourselves to others. Because they are on a different journey to us.

We do our best with what we have. And that's enough.

Often when things feel difficult or uncomfortable, we look for distractions or dissociation. Which is a very normal response!

But what are you actually feeling in your body just now? What sensations are showing up? Where? What do they feel like? What does your body need? Not logically - feel it. What would make you more comfortable. Less activated. More rested?

Learning to interpret the signals to know what the body truly needs is something that is so important to learn. It's important for recovery, and it's important going forward in life
