Brain fog... a symptom I'm sure many of us are all too familiar with. 😅 Personally, I take it as a sign to cut myself some slack, and I try not to fight it. Judging ourselves for having our symptoms only adds unnecessary stress to our lives. Do you practice self-compassion? 🕊

Repeat after me... "I will say no to things that compromise my emotional and physical health and wellness. I am worthy of rest and self-care." 💛

Stop scrolling and take a moment to consider the ways in which you've made progress this year. You just might surprise yourself! As chronic illness patients, we have the tendency to not celebrate our "wins" as much as we focus on our various struggles or frustrations. ✨🌟💛

[mayv @mayv_co]

It can be really hard to "stay positive" while living with daily pain and varying levels of discomfort. It's overwhelming, it wears us down, and it feels infinite... but we still have power, and we can still access our strength! How do you stay positive when you're in pain? 💛

[mayv @mayv_co]

I know that sometimes pain becomes our only touchstone, and in those moments, I can only hope that we all allow ourselves some compassion. 🧡 Whatever you're feeling today, it's okay. You're perfect as you are, no matter how you choose to identify with your pain or illness. 🕊

MOOD. 😭 The truth hurts! #DoesNotSparkJoy
