Lately I’ve been making decisions about what I want to be doing – real, active, conscious decisions. I’m getting to the point in my life where odds are, there is less of it ahead of me than behind me. The term ‘bucket list’ has become popular. But I’m not thinking about specific events or activities that I want to check off a list. I’m thinking about the way I want to live my daily life. And of course this has gotten me thinking about my struggle with ME/CFS/SEID and what I’m doing with my hard won, regained wellness.
Once I knew that ME/CFS/SEID was in my past, I did not choose to go back to the fast paced, stressful life that I led prior to being ill. I decided to live a life focused on my family and to make better wellness decisions. In retrospect, I’d say that I was reasonably successful in that choice.
If restoring your wellness is your current goal, imagine the kind of life you would choose to live, having been through all this, if you were well again. Would you go back to the old pace? The old ways of marginal self-care? What kind of focus would you have in life as a well person? When you think about your prior lifestyle choices, which would you resume? What would you dump? Please COMMENT on this blog or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them with your permission. You can use the Contact Form or send an email to Martha at DefeatCFS dot net. And Guest Blogs are most welcome!
Look for a weekly posting on Tuesdays. And consider being part of the conversation.
