It's easy to get overwhelmed with Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, POTS, MCS, and similar invisible illnesses.

People feel overwhelmed trying to do new diets, lifestyle changes, medical treatments, brain training, and just about any other helpful strategy to recover from Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, POTS, or MCS. 

Understanding how this affects your recovery and how to change your approach may be the biggest breakthrough in your recovery.

The 7 Steps:

1.) Prioritise a Healing Environment

2.) Progress Not Perfection

3.) Practice Self Compassion

4.) Consider a Time Out

5.) Scale Your Engagement

6.) Adopt a Flexible Approach

7.) Focus More On How Than What

Thank you, Dan, for your compassionate and understanding voice. At times I lose my centeredness and fret, ”How can I work on my healing as well as manage all the necessities of daily living?” But then you present a podcast that encourages patience, cutting back, taking things more easily and more self-forgivingly, more gently. It’s what I needed.
