S3E10: 5 Ways I’ve Experienced Growth During the Summer of My Chronic Illness Cycle
Listen here:
I believe, like in many other parts of nature and our bodies, we have the ability to experience chronic illness as part of a cycle, with a spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Your chronic illness can be experienced as a cycle wherever you’re at with your it right now; whether you’re still living within the chronic illness struggle, or whether you’re living with your chronic illness as your ally and guide, just one way will look different from the other, and each way will determine how much you can use your seasons to your advantage, to help you grow, evolve and heal in a deep, whole sense.
Agreed, growth when living with chronic illness can feel like wading through tar (when living within ‘The Chronic Illness Struggle’, getting from one day to the next is enough to handle). But it can also be enjoyable, aligned and easeful. When we lean into the different seasons, we can use them to help us plan and prepare, and to work towards how we want to feel, what we want our lives to look like, and how we want to show up in this world, in a chronic illness informed way.
