- [ME/CFS: A Personal Epiphany](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2012/12/mecfs-personal-epiphany.html) - For a while I’ve been struggling with the nagging feeling that, despite all that I think I know about how to deal with this illness, I’m missing something important. I’ve been back in England a year now and comparing my health with how it was when I first got back, I see that my condition,
- [ME/CFS: Cultivating Happiness through Loving-kindness Meditation](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2012/12/mecfs-cultivating-happiness-through.html) - This time of year can often make us feel even more pressured by the expectations involved in living a ‘normal’ life. It’s a time that should be all about loving and giving, but our exhaustion can leave us feeling that we have nothing left to give. However, I believe that a little bit of love

Habits and routines minimise the use of energy. Actions flow automatically or become an automatic response to an external trigger. It might take a bit of energy
- [ME/CFS: Taking the Time to Explore Who You Really Are](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/01/mecfs-taking-time-to-explore-who-you.html) - I once met a spiritual healer who claimed that ME/CFS was an illness of people who aren’t able to be themselves. He claimed it was caused by people forcing themselves to fit a mould set by society or by others expectations, that wasn’t in keeping with who they really are. Any suggestion that my illness

Although the survey generated more interest than any of the other blog posts, I’m afraid I only had 3 responses. I have added my answers to this survey so that it now represents 4 people.
- [Results of the Self-Help Survey: Part Two](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/02/results-of-self-help-survey-part-two.html) - Here’s the second instalment of the self-help survey results (part one can be found here).

- [ME/CFS and Cultivating Happiness through Nurturing](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/03/mecfs-and-cultivating-happiness-through.html) - In an earlier post I explored the role of loving-kindness in the pursuit of happiness, not in terms of receiving but in terms of giving. We can’t necessarily control how much love and affection we receive from others but we are in control of how much we can give out. Giving love is a wonderfully
- [ME/CFS: A Reminder to Actively Seek Joy](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/04/mecfs-a-reminder-to-actively-seek-joy.html) - Recently I’ve realised I’ve got out of the habit of being happy. It’s been a combination of things, one piling on top of another. I’ve been feeling ‘below baseline’ for a couple of months now. I’ve made very slow progress from a viral crash, (or maybe I’ve been dealing with several infections in sequence?) I’ve

However as yet I haven’t found one that offers easily accessible, comprehensive self-help advice in both a down to earth, practical manner that also takes a holistic approach to health.

- [Raising Awareness of ME/CFS Through the Letters Page of your Local Paper](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/05/raising-awareness-of-mecfs-through.html) - With May the 12th looming I wanted to do something to help promote ME/CFS awareness. Because of work commitments and the fact that I don't live nearby I'm unable to attend the all fall down for ME demonstration. Instead, I decided to write to my local paper and yesterday they printed my letter. Could you write to your
- [ME/CFS and Investing Your Energy in Your Health](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/05/mecfs-and-investing-your-energy-in-your.html) - For me a key principle in managing this illness is that we actively need to invest some of our precious energy in health promoting activities. It’s not enough to just live what little life we can and then rest when we’ve had enough. Rest alone will not get us better or even prevent us from
- [ME/CFS and Adapting to Different Ways of Experiencing Pleasure](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/05/mecfs-and-adapting-to-different-ways-of.html) - Before I got ill and in my 7 years remission the majority of my pleasure came from physical pursuits. Whether it was a long mountain hike, bombing down the mountain on ski’s or a snowboard, or dancing all night at a festival, these were the times when I experienced the most pleasure. Second to that
- [Aromatherapy Self-massage for Bedtime Twitchy Legs in ME/CFS](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/06/aromatherapy-self-massage-for-bedtime.html) - I’ve been very lucky that since I visited a homeopath a couple of years ago I’ve suffered very little with muscle symptoms. I am very careful not to overexert, but even on the odd occasion when I do overstretch at a yoga class I usually only suffer the normal stiffness you would expect from a
- [ME/CFS and Cultivating Happiness with a Meditation on Peace, Love and Joy](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/06/mecfs-and-cultivating-happiness-with.html) - This is another meditation practise that provides nourishment for the soul (see also loving kindness meditation). I find it particularly useful as a reminder to invite these positive qualities into my life, especially when I am taking life too seriously and devoting too much energy to work and writing. I also find that the active
- [ME/CFS and Cultivating Happiness by Avoiding Comparisons](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/07/mecfs-and-cultivating-happiness-by.html) - When you have this illness one thing to avoid if you want to be happy is comparing yourself with other people or other times in your life.

- [The ME/CFS Survival Guide to Growing Your Own Vegetables](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/07/the-mecfs-survival-guide-to-growing.html) - One of my most rewarding pastimes at the moment is growing my own vegetables. It’s so exciting to see a seedling poking its head out of the earth, and wonderfully satisfying to eat something freshly picked from your own garden. I spend more time just looking at the veg garden, absorbed in the wonders of
- [ME/CFS and Befriending Unpleasant Feelings](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/10/mecfs-and-befriending-unpleasant.html) - There are many unpleasant feelings that are very regular visitors to any chronic illness sufferer.

- [ME/CFS and the Quality of Different Types of Rest](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2014/05/mecfs-and-the-quality-of-different-types-of.html) - I’ve realised recently that the quality of my rest has been taking a beating. I put this partly down to the fact that I’m becoming more and more addicted to social media. Ok, I might be sitting down whilst I’m checking out my facebook page, but processing all that information, finding bits you’re really interested

In my last meditation post about overcoming a meditation disabilityI talk about how important it is to accept
- [Reflections on a Relapse](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2012/05/reflections-on-a-relapse.html) - This isn’t another book review as promised. I’m writing this on the day before my holiday and I haven’t got done what I’d hoped to get done by now. Mainly because I’ve not been doing very well for the last 3 weeks, I’ve been experiencing a bit of a relapse. I’ve decided the book review

The body will always strive for balance and health and has the wisdom to produce it under most conditions. ME/CFS usually results from a combination of difficult conditions which upset the body’s balance in many complicated and compounding ways. For me the aim of self-help

- [ME/CFS and Self-Help Resolutions](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2013/12/mecfs-and-self-help-resolutions.html) - The trouble with chronic illness is that it goes on and on. When we see little, if any, improvement it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and let motivation dwindle.

Ginkgo Biloba](https://www.joyfullywellthy.com/2014/01/mecfs-and-supplements-2-ginkgo-biloba.html) - Ginkgo Biloba is one of the supplements that’s had a very clear positive effect on me.

I put a lot of energy into posting twice for May the 12th last week, and connecting with other bloggers on the social media. I think quite a few of us overdid things!
