I didn’t realise that I was being held back in achieving life goals because of the lack of trust in my body. After you get very unwell and fall sick you think this body has let me down, so how will I know that it’s going to play ball when I make life plans. It’s a normal feeling after falling sick. The mind holds trauma through memories and it lives in the body. Sometimes our mind stops our physical recovery because it’s still stuck in the traumatic events. Whether it’s a hip fracture, a chronic illness, a car crash, a hospitalisation, an emergency surgery, an elected surgery gone wrong, whatever it is your mind will store that memory. It was a Pilates instructor that highlighted that I’m probably still feeling pain following my hip fracture from 2 years ago, because it’s probably stored as a memory in my body. I knew that through MRIs and Xrays that it was physically healed, but my body had stored the trauma and I needed to work with my body and mind on a deeper level to release it. Pilates has the power to do that. Therapy is a powerful tool that can also support the mind after mental trauma. Releasing trauma frees your mind from the anxiety it feels of the memory stored of the traumatic events(s). Healing is all within you, it just needs a push and gentle support to dig deeper. 🤍 #trauma #healing #healingwithin #supprtmymind #supportmybody #mind #powerful #powerfulmindset #mindsetmatters #travel #love #thinking #powerfulwomen #powerfulquotes #healthyliving #healthylife by @ibdjournal

It really is so simple I have had this need to be by the water and I’ve been counting down the days till holiday. My body needs a reset and to heal so a day by the lake was just as satisfying. After walking I am knackered but I feel so peaceful. ☺️ #peaceful #wellbeing #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicallyill by @ibdjournal

I get it that there isn’t enough research in clinical trials for some supplements. However there is proof of healing or improvement of symptoms in some cases using holistic healing like; working with naturopath, using nutrition, supplements, Chinese medicine, energy healing, cupping, acupuncture, meditation, the right movement, integrative medicine & nervous system healing. Thankfully in some practices healthcare is looked at as multidisciplinary and I’m glad I have the team I do. But there is a huge lack of looking at the body as whole everywhere in modern medicine. This is no way saying you shouldn’t take your medication, mine has saved my life and given me a better life. But we also shouldn’t disregard the rest. 🤍🤍 Have you tried something that has supported your healing outside of modern medicine I would love to hear it.

It actually wasn’t this tense throughout, it was a roller coaster of highs and lows. 🤍 📈 #chronicillness #chroniccondition #ucwarrior #ibd by @ibdjournal

Even when I try and eat just whole foods to clean up my diet to support healing I can’t help but think of all the toxins we ingest without a choice. I’ve switched to organic for some time but we all know how expensive that is to sustain. And sadly it doesn’t even guarantee ‘clean’ Pesticides can increase gut inflammation. Continuous exposure is known to destroy beneficial bacteria. It compromises the intestinal barrier, leading to leaky gut. It can also create an immune system imbalance. The leaky gut that ens up allowing antigens, bacteria and toxins eventually confuses the immune system to think there is a continuous threat. Making the immune system be constantly on high alert ‼️ 🚨 Here’s what I do to try and minimise exposure to pesticides 🍓Prioritize the “Dirty Dozen”: If shopping completely organic is too expensive, focus your budget selectively on purchasing organic versions of produce known to carry the highest chemical loads (such as strawberries, spinach, kale, grapes, and apples). 🍎 Thoroughly Wash Produce: Wash all fresh fruits and vegetables under cold running water. For firm-skinned items, utilize a vegetable brush to physically scrub away surface residues and waxes that trap chemicals. 🥭 Soaking in organic vinegar can reduce the level of pesticides by up to 50%. I’ve been lazy recently but since the flare I’m going back to the basics. #chronicillnesswarrior #ucwarrior #chroniccondition #chronicallyill #chronicdisease by @ibdjournal

Do you feel anger towards your disease? For what it’s taken, for how it just keeps showing up without an invitation! The key is acceptance and working with it rather than against it. Our bodies can’t feel attacked, they need to be loved and cherished despite what is happening within them. But if you sometimes feel anger, I see you! 🤍💜🤍💜🤍 #chronicallyill #chronicillnessawareness #ucwarrior #autoimmunedisease by @ibdjournal

I’ve had my fair share of turbulence and I have learnt the lessons and ready to move on now. 🙄 Just need some flat line boring, non eventful time of just chill and calm. ☺️ #funnyreels #chronicallyill #chronicillnesswarrior #autoimmunedisease #reelsofinstagram by @ibdjournal

If you’re going through a rough time, I hope that someone shows you kindness and even if it helps just tiny bit then it’s something. You may not see it now but it could be that 1% that makes a difference. 🤍🤍🤍 Was there someone that showed you kindness during a low time that helped you more than you thought at that time?

There is a grief that comes with chronic illness. Different to grief that happens once and is tragic, it gets better and then comes back again over and over. You live with anxiety knowing that it can all happen again at any given time. On Sunday, despite feeling very frail and unwell after being in a bad flare for a week I went into hospital with plans for the week; a hair appointment on the Monday morning, a new exciting job to start Pilates teaching and a course I was going to be a part of to extend my learning. Plans to take my son to a play date and hang out with mums, a dinner with some friends and hanging out with my friend on the Saturday. All of a sudden I started to cancel the plans one by one with hope that I would be out and be ok to go ahead with some plans. By the time I left hospital every single plan was cancelled. 😞 You leave hospital thinking is this it, do I have to just give in to this disease showing its ugly character and ruining my life every time?! The thought of having to restart it all over again and rebuild it all over again feels so heavy and overwhelming. Reality is leaving hospital isn’t easy, it reminds you that you still have to restart and that the world is still moving forward but you’re left stuck. I always talk about being strong and picking yourself up again to build better and stronger but some days it’s just hard and it’s ok to feel like that too. It’s also valid. 💜🤍💜🤍 #chronicallyill #chronicdisease #ibd #autoimmunedisease #ulcerativecolitisawareness by @ibdjournal
