Stability is the foundation of healing. As humans we are self-organising, self-healing human beings. Yet, in chronic illness the body has become increasingly disorganised and increasingly unstable over time as a consequence of having to cope with multiple and ongoing stressors of life. In this podcast Anna talks about the disorganisation in a “syndromal system” and how we can support the body to become more stable and organised again. This podcast will help you reflect on where you are in your journey and areas of your life that you can prioritise to support greater stability in your chronic illness and/or fatigue recovery journey.  Useful links: Website: http://annamarsh.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_marsh_nutrition/ Apply for 1-1 Support: https://annamarsh.co.uk/1-1/ Nurturing Resilience Workshop: https://annamarsh.co.uk/nurturing-resilience-special/ Nervous System Workshop: https://annamarsh.co.uk/workshop/ Blood Sugar Mini Course: https://annamarsh.co.uk/courses/

That is the question that Anna aims to address in this episode. It isn’t always easy to know what the next step is when it comes to healing.

Shownotes Experiencing and recovering from Chronic Illness requires the capacity to change and adapt. We need to learn new habits around how we eat, how we sleep, the routines we keep, the boundaries we set and everything in between. Change, even for someone in good health, is never a walk in the park and many people are prone to procrastination, self sabotage, getting complacent and going round in circles. In this episode Anna helps you to understand these behaviours on a nervous system level, how they relate to the process of change and most importantly, how to overcome them.
