Are you eating for you, or your emotions?
Do you find that you are doing really great for a while, preparing veggie juices regularly, eating good meals with protein, regular snacks with protein, steering clear of the sugar, alcohol, coffee and minimising wheat, only to endure a low energy day and find yourself in the dumps looking for food to sooth your sorry emotions? I know I do! It is still a habit I’m unable to break. The only thing I can say in my own defense is … Continue reading
How my perspective on friendships has changed
This is a bit of a bug bear of mine. Although I have many friends in my life, I found that being sick with CFS/ME was extremely isolating and even my best mates really didn’t know how to support me through it. It is a really tough one and I’m still struggling with the realisation that friends are simply not family, and that I shouldn’t expect them to be. I’m an only child and fairly outgoing. I learned pretty early … Continue reading

10 Ways to reduce anxiety and depression to manage chronic fatigue (CFS/ME)
Do you get wound up with anxiety or weighed down with depression? I certainly do and I’ve had to find ways to manage it as both anxiety and depression make all of my other CFS/ME symptoms much worse. Anxiety is probably my number one enemy for stoking the CFS/ME fire – and that’s not the fire in my belly unfortunately – it’s the fire that quickly melts my CPU and sends me spinning out of control, looking for a safe … Continue reading

Clearing Emotion on the CFS/ME Journey
What if we could heal ourselves? Similarly to Louise Hays, Brandon Bays believes that we can evoke healing of our own bodies by clearing emotions held at the cellular level. Just in case this is possible, I thought I’d better give it a go…. Initially I found out about The Journey through my naturopath who loaned me her copy of Brandon Bays book called ‘The Journey’. I can’t recall exactly why she loaned it at the time, but I believe … Continue reading

Getting back on the horse to fight CFS/ME
Do people who are balanced, who moderate life and what it has to offer, generally get Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME)? I’ve read that its generally Type A’s – those that go hard, strive high and basically don’t stop at anything to get what they are after in life. I guess I was a Type A person. I was always go, go, go – not very balanced. Do you ever feel like this illness was sent to put … Continue reading
My turning point for fighting CFS/ME
When I look back now I can see that it was the decision to become actively responsible for my recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), that was a significant turning point for me. What caused it? How did I take active responsibility? And why the beep did it take so long? I’m probably actually one of the lucky ones. I was sick with the Ross River Virus for a year and a half, had 3 months reprieve … Continue reading
The Slight Edge for Daily Resolve to Fight CFS/ME
How easy it is to know the basic theory of recovery – pace yourself, regular exercise, eat well, take supplements etc etc – but how difficult it is to actually put it into practice. That’s my story! In fact, I’m sorry it’s been over a month now since my last blog. Doh! Time has got away from me. I’ve been working on a new business venture which has taken my eye off the Green Girl ball… just temporarily. But I’m … Continue reading
