You Can Feel Better Without Changing A Thing About Your Chronic Illness.

We’re conditioned to believe that in order to feel good about ourselves and our lives, in order to be truly happy, we need to completely free of chronic illness.

Is that not the most backwards sentiment ever?

Although it goes against everything we see, hear and believe to be true, I want you to know three things;

1. You do not need to wait until your chronic illness is in remission, or even only mildly active, to start feeling good about yourself and your life.

2. In actual fact, approaching it from the reverse angle - whereby you prioritise working on feeling good about yourself and living fully (acknowledging all the things that go into that) - will soothe your chronic illness.

3. The absence of chronic illness is not the thing that will make you feel good, happy, content, or even any healthier.I know you know that you can’t - and don’t want to - continue to put your life, happiness and joy on hold for when you feel better; whether that be the few days you get here and there, or the idea of longer term remission.

So, where do you go from here?
