CFS Recovery

Can Anybody Recover From CFS?

The Core Principle:

Recovery is not achieved by a specific type of person but rather by a specific set of practices and principles. Anyone can learn these recovery principles regardless of experiences, strengths, personality, causes of illness, and length of illness. People who are struggling to recover can use these principles to revitalize their energy, overcome symptoms, and live a life with thriving health. Recovery does not happen by luck or chance. It’s a result of a specific set of deliberate habits.


The Importance of Principles:

It doesn’t matter how you got sick, your background, or what has happened in your past. You can recover if you follow a specific set of recovery principles. Many people have faced trauma, stress, and various health crises, but these factors do not negate your chance of recovery. By following specific principles, you will absolutely recover.


The Role of Consistency:

People from all walks of life—whether they got sick from a virus, long COVID, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, or stress—can recover if they consistently apply these principles. It might not happen overnight; it might take several months, but progress is possible. For some, recovery happens quickly, within weeks, but for others, it may take longer. The key is consistency and sticking to the principles.


Recovery Principles:

  1. Responding to Symptoms: Your success in recovery is determined by how well you respond to symptoms. Panicking or fearing symptoms will only hinder your progress. Instead, understand that symptoms are just feedback from your brain to your body, indicating a need to manage stress and activity levels better.
  2. Avoiding Over-Analysis: Overthinking every little action and its impact on your symptoms can be detrimental. Focus on the big picture rather than getting caught up in the micro details.
  3. Building Momentum: Like turning around a cruise ship, recovery starts with stopping the downward spiral of your nervous system. This takes significant effort initially, but as you gain momentum, progress becomes more evident, and the effort required decreases.

 

Applying the Principles:

Applying these principles is the challenging part. Knowing the information is one thing, but implementing it, especially during tough times, is crucial. Everyone has a plan until they get hit with symptoms. It’s essential to stay focused on the principles and not let fear or negative thoughts take over.


Customized Recovery Plans:

For those who need extra help, the Recovery Jumpstart program offers personalized plans tailored to your specific situation. By applying these principles consistently, you can gain progress and momentum in your recovery journey.


Community Support:

Joining a supportive community of Thrivers can be incredibly beneficial. Sharing experiences, learning from others, and receiving encouragement can make a significant difference in your recovery journey.


Final Thoughts:

Recovery is possible for anyone, regardless of their situation. By following specific principles and practices, you can start to gain progress and improve your health. Remember, recovery is not about luck or chance but about consistent, deliberate actions.

Always remember, you are a Thriver, and you are just one mind shift away from living a life with thriving health.
