HAPPY SPRING

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE JOURNALING WORKSHOP I FACILITATED FOR THE CHRONC MARKET PLACE THIS PAST WEEK.

Some of the the free resources that came out the workshop (The ‘Resources’ Tab on my website is updated with all of these, and more!):

Journal Speak (a technique I recommend to all of my clients)

Pillow Writers Chronic Illness writer's group

Lyme Disease Empowerment Circle … I may be biased on this one :>

Get Out of Pain podcast (Great episode that goes with the Journal Speak technique)

Pema Chodron/Tonglen Self-Compassion Meditation

Chronic Creative Meetup Join the Chronic Market for its monthly virtual creative meetup this April 23, and meet fellow creatives around the world.  You don't have to have a ME/CFS diagnosis to join; all are welcome! As with previous meetups, this is a low-key online space where people can create whatever they want, wherever they are, and share in real time a bit of their creative process and their stories and struggles too if they feel so inclined. Register for the ongoing series.

Other Resources I am loving and will also post under the Resources Tab (Thank you for sharing, Angela):

How to Rewire Your Brain With Ho’oponopono Technique

The Neuroscience of Gratitude and Effects on the Brain

And this super cute TikTok a client sent on tapping :> https://www.tiktok.com/@larsypants/video/7218572635276332330?_r=1&_t=8bFkemRbIYU

Sending love to all of you!!!
