#2 Bear: Rest
Listen now
Description
We know what you're thinking: you’ve mentioned to someone that you have Chronic Fatigue and they say...”just rest!”. If only it were that simple...  In our second episode, we begin the conversation on rest and sleep; how our relationship with rest has changed over the course of our illnesses, why real rest is so crucial at all stages of recovery, and how we deal with the inevitable boredom that comes from spending so much time lying down! All with a little help from our hairy bear-y friends, and poet Martha Postlewaite...  As always, these are just our musings and nothing we say is medical advice or personalised! Hope you enjoy listening, and here's some of the resources we mention:   Spoon Theory  Eckhart Tolle's book 'The Power of Now'  James Clear's book 'Atomic Habits'   The wonderful Gemma Hanley's Instagram  Plum Village app  Jenn Piercy Insight Timer meditations Balance app Breathe with James  Hugh Byrne on Insight Timer  Dorothy Hunt's poem 'Peace is this moment'  Martha Postlewaite 'The Clearing'  We love hearing from you, so please like, subscribe and get in touch via instagram or our shiny new email address: [email protected]  Lots of love!
