Enjoyed the #natyamheals challenge so much that I've decided to keep going! And I'm gonna break all the rules 🌞 Day 11 of 10 💜 After a 2 weeks break I am back in my pointe shoes - enjoying having a play around rather than doing my pointe exercises #dance #move #pointe #withoutdancewhatsthepointe
I dance because it makes sense to me in ways that nothing else does. Yesterday I had to miss pilates and today I had to miss my contemporary class because I was in too much pain - I've got work commitments next week and I am trying to be proactive and rest - hoping I'll be okay enough to honour my commitments. Its hard to know what to prioritise - sometimes moving helps and sometimes it drains me. If I don't exercise and move regularly I get worse and it takes ages to build up strength and mobility again. My weird pain has generally been a lot better in the past year so its been hard having a flare up but I am hopeful it will calm down again. A highlight of today was getting these t-shirts in the post <3 Last weekend we had a great afternoon watching @dancesyndromegallery showcasing their amazing work. They offer accessible and inclusive dance classes and training and we got these t shirts to support them but also because we think they are very cool 😊 #dance #move #movement #inclusion #disabilities #diversity #chronicpain #painmanagement #livinglifegently #chronicfatigue
Made me smile! I and pain be like Hello... Meh im used to it Hi! Over here! Meh I'm used to it! How about this? You do that and I'll beat you with my compassion stick Well show me yours I'll show you mine Ouch.. maybe I'll distract myself for rest of day You do that!! OUCH! I better dissociate I'll be waiting Oh hello you still here?!? Never giving up on you Great thanks, now can I sleep please? Yes see you soon!!! Lovely... Pain has been bad lately and its upsetting but also fascinating - the levels of unexplained weird pain that I am able to deal with (till I'm not). Yesterday after travelling for 6 hours I went for a walk to try and release tension. The pain in my shoulders and arms were excruciating as if lead had been poured in to my arms and there were being torn out of the finger/wrist/elbow/shoulder joints. And i just kept walking cause what else can I do. But when I try to take a step back and observe my experience and my response it seems somewhat mad... #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #MECFS #sensoryprocessing #livinglifegently
