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'
