REGULATION MOMENTS OVER THE LAST MONTH💕

When I came to Berlin 5 years ago, I had finally stabilized my regulation after a decade mostly bedbound with Chronic Lyme and CFS.

There were so many moments that delighted me that I could fully enjoy and sink into. I felt like a child again discovering the world for the first time.

As life has gotten busier, that first experience of returning health and the joy of having found it has at times felt further away.

But I can always come back. And leaning into the moments that totally give me joy and fill my senses is available any time I remember.

Here are some beautiful moments when I remembered this month. And today, sitting by the canal, still finding Berlin beautiful 🤗💕✨

I've not shared on here for a while, I've been involved in multiple projects and haven't had much time to reflect here.

But I have a little update on my current thinking on something.

The origin, it seems to me, of having truly healthy relationships is found in consistent kindness.

It's the ability, to repair when something goes wrong and to always make things right. That's what determines the health of the relationship.

Self care = taking care of our needs

Consistent kindness is a need.

I choose only people in my life who can operate with consistent kindness. Those are my rules.

Consistent kindness= consistent repair

EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR BODY CRASHES AFTER THE MOST*NORMAL* THINGS?

You didn't do anything wrong.

It’s your nervous system doing its best to protect you — even if the system’s gotten confused.

I call this the crash cycle, and understanding it changed everything for me.

The solution isn’t pushing harder — it’s listening, gently.

🌿 Save this post if you need the reminder.
DM “SAFETY” if you’d like a free practice to start gently shifting your crash cycle.

CONSIDERING MILESTONES✨

This weekend I got to see a friend of mine who I used to work with during my NGO days. The last time I saw her, I was about to move to the US in 2012 and then spent the next ten years battling with my health. It got so much worse than it was in 2011-2012 and we all but totally lost touch.

I got to reminisce with my friend about our previous life when we worked together, our crazy boss and the office dramas 😅. It was so wonderful to connect with her again. And it was so nice to be on the actual other side of my health crisis and be well enough to travel to her, walk around the Christmas markets and chat loads about our lives.

When I was sick, I had to stop calling people all together, because I was so weak I couldn't even handle phone calls.

It wasn't until 2018 that I started experimenting with my nervous system method and started to heal.

And then in the last years, it's been a gradual process to rebuild and rekindle all these relationships that I broadly lost due to my health, due to my incapacity to invest in those friendships and physically even speak.

It's wild to think that I used to be just a body in a bed. And that I now have my whole life back.

I want to share these reflections to help bring hope to others who are suffering that relief is possible and that it will be a process to rebuild, but it's totally possible 💕💕💕✨✨✨
