Oh, dear. I’ve been upside-down lately. Literally. I’ve been laid up with a back injury for a few weeks now.
I’m reminded of living with pain/chronic illness. For anyone who needs to hear this:
Enduring pain and recovering from illness is its own thing. You don’t need to spend this time moodboarding or meditating or planning your financial future.
Recovery and Rest is ENOUGH.
Making it through the day is ENOUGH.
Receiving and accepting the help you need is ENOUGH.
I’ve done many difficult things in my life and I can honestly say :
The simple act of getting into a chair during my first days of injury was as hard as anything I’ve ever done.
Remember to give yourself gentle kindness and space to heal and receive.
And congratulations on making it through each day…Even if you are well.
