What do to with the lonelyness ? I really wanna have cuddles andaube dates and al this things..i feel lonlely if i try to be consisten😔

that was very very good Ty. I winder if you git full recovery ?

Thanks for reminding me. I just told my daughter that I can't watch her basketball game tonight. She took it fine, and I already watched one of her games this week. How are you doing now?

You also have to ask yourself why the body uses energy from the anaerobic cycle, which gets consumed really fast. The reason is called the cell danger response which is activated when the body wants to keep you still and protect you from danger. In CFS people our nervous system is hypersensitive to any kind of stimulus, so the brain interprets more or less everything as a threat. It then "uses up all the energy" and shuts down through the process you described. So in essence there is nothing wrong with our mitochondria themselves, its just our nervous system sending the wrong signals in an attempt to protect us from danger. To reverse this cycle you need to start really slow, but challenge the NS abit. Then respond well when the "crash" hits you. By responding well means not panicking, knowing its only the nervous system, and becoming aware of your automatic thoughts and emotions, accept them but stop feeding them. We often underestimate how much stimuli and energy bad thoughts and emotion takes up. By responding well to your symptoms you signal safety to the NS so that it can allow a little more activity the next time. The only way to get back is to go through many crashes, or Adjustment periods as I call them, respond well to them by pulling back activity and staying calm, then go again. Over time the neurons associated with activity and danger (thats been firing together for a long time) will start to separate from eachother and your nervous system will be less sensitive to stimuli and work more normally. For your info Ive had CFS since 2021 april, but since I started to implement these princples 5 months ago so much have gotten better. I work 90% now, I go to the gym several times a week (on the good weeks), hang out with friends etc. But it has required tons of patience and mental discipline. I still have some way to go before I consider myself fully recovered. I still get adjustment periods, but it requires way more activity to trigger them, and they are not as intense usually. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

i really needed this, thank you for sharing your journey <3

Has this worked - 5 yrs later how are you?

Veronica looks so much like my sister it's crazy!! You have a wonderful energy, I wish you luck on your creative journey!

"PromoSM" ☹️

Loveeeeeee the way you edited this one!!! So fun to watch back!

great video, love it

That beginning quote though!🥺🧡

12:11 returning already because this one specifically is percolating in my brain (might just have to skip to that chapter maybe that's my inner rulebreaker's needed workaround with this book for me, just jumping around with the order 🤯) but the idea of observing outside-in how a lack of "creative discipline" has constricted beloved people hits right at home for me and it just struck me that in a sense for them, to turn that idea around and take the concept of discipline out of it, it seems to be a blockage of the inside-out that we all fall into sometimes and i'm frightened of that too because i'm so familiar with it and it's such a down the drain of what could have been and sometimes what would do people good. i think i don't care to be disciplined but i care to be in tune with my inside-out and nurture my relationship with it! even with my fear to leave my space it's a wounded inside-out i guess this is wild to me!

it's funny really watching these is my way to coax myself toward opening chapter 2 of the book up again, facing my second little A6 morning pages journal and giving them another go. from the get go i've found that even the guidelines that julia cameron gives were inaccessible toward me doing the work without running scared? i find it very hard to leave my place so artist dates are a deep desire of mine but something where i know i'm just not there yet. i've had to reframe this "inability" to stick to them to adapt them to what i can follow through with. a theme of mine this year i'm slowly realizing is my inner sense of readiness and how compromising on ideals is a kind way to honor it and clear it up! my plan is to return to these videos as i manage to move on deeper into the book, i'm loving them!!

Thanks so much for doing this series 🥰 I’ve read and re-read The Artist Way many times over the years but have always found an excuse to actually not do any of the exercises 😅 This week is the first time I started doing morning pages and I truly don’t think I would’ve started with being inspired by your work and the progress you both are making. I just want to say I thank you for all the work you’re sharing 💖

Sounds like a serious crash. Glad you’re doing a bit better rn ❤

Loved this episode! I have definitely struggled with feeling that my art would be perceived vain or frivolous in the past as well! Growing up I got pretty comfortable with taking self portraits, but when I studied photography in college I was so scared of not being taking seriously because no one else was doing what I was so I mostly shied away from it, but it was such a regret I had once I graduated! All the cogs are turning in my head with this one! 🥰👏

beautiful love <3

interesting as usual 😊 feargha I rly think u would like lola olufemi’s book experiments in imagining otherwise bc it’s a rly lovely kind of playful book with various textual experiments with /about serious politics… like it takes itself seriously in that pleasure is an important part of life & revolution which means the play in it is important and intentional and ! a vital part of what is being said…. Anyway it’s about a lot of things …. I hope that makes sense lol I love your tiara obviously !! It’s lovely to see you two talking & sharing sm about creativity & being ❤

I am so excited to be watching this over the next 12 weeks, thank you both so much for sharing. <3 Veronica speaking about her journey with ballet and the pushback from people online made me think about Leigh Cowarts "Hurts So Good" and how they describe the culture of ballet dancing... I'm very excited to hear how Veronica continues to navigate that.

Doing this project with you has been LIFE changing! I can't wait to relive it all over the next 12 weeks<3

Dear Feargha, it is curious how sometimes you think of a person and the next day she appears again with a 50-minute therapeutic creative lesson, if you mind the word, as I was here to learn. Thank you for putting out always amazing work, you and Veronica are such a pleasant duo to listen to!

Omg I loooooved this! I can't wait to follow along and it's so lovely to be acquainted with you and your work Feargha!

*snaps*

You are so lucky to have gone there. . Especially with a relative. The fact that you say the things you mentioned and the fact that you feel so conflicted only tells me I'm not alone. . I appreciate it and I'm sure others do too. Your true thoughts are something most people (who actually feel this way) are afraid to talk about. Rich or poor, democrat or conservative, old or young. You must be an old soul. Because what you mentioned in this video says more than you might realize. Thank you for sharing this. I hope one day you too can reconnect with what you are truly trying to find. Thanks again this was an awesome video.

Mitochondria autophagy, or is it acetylcholine production? Or is it neuro-inflammation?

Wauw! i just discoverd your channeling and is its so dreamy and romantic. You must haved lived in Languedoc in a past life :)

I’m so confused about pacing. I have long Covid and it feels like I’ve been stuck in one place for a year now. I’m not able to do more today than I did few months ago. As soon as I do more than just walking short distance in my apartment I get PEM up to 24-48 hrs even if my hr remains under 100. I’m concerned about muscle weakness over time as a result of resting.. but my body clearly wants to rest:(

Hey thx for the video. Do you have any tips on knowing when it's OK to do something and when you shouldn't? I just have no idea what to do anymore. It feels like sometimes I crash for no reason and sometimes I don't, both doing the same thing on different days.

This is some of the best advice I've found about pacing. Like you, I love traveling and learning about other cultures (to the point where I moved to different countries before CFS). A great deal of my energy goes to daydreaming about the day I'll get to do that again but this video has given a whole different perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. ❤
