When You've Tried "Everything" But Are Still Sick
Our bodies are not able to properly heal, repair, and detoxify when we’re stuck in survival mode. Our nervous system state quite literally affects the function of every organ and cell in the body. ❤️🩹
No matter your diagnosis or life situation, learning to regulate your nervous system will undoubtedly improve your health and well being (and increase your capacity to handle life’s stressors). 🫶🏻
For me, the most impactful place to start was with brain retraining (I started with DNRS and am now going through Primal Trust). While these programs can be invaluable for those with chronic illness, there are always many paths to healing.
There are so many things you can do to support your nervous system for free. Here are a few of my favorites:
✨ Morning sunlight
✨ Time in nature & grounding
✨ Learning how to feel safe in your body
✨ Slowing down (not just actions, but thoughts too)
✨ Working on circadian rhythm
✨ Visualizing yourself healthy & strong
✨ Connection, laughter, and joy
✨ Letting go of limiting beliefs
✨ Listening to recovery stories
✨ Having fun & living in whatever capacity you can
Keep believing healing is possible, friends. If you’re in a really difficult spot right now, I’m hoping all the best for you. Things really can get better.
