recovery

Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.

Your Body Definitely Keeps The Score . Top Story - October 2025.
That is one massive (albeit alarming) statistic. No wonder why we can all feel a bit f*cked up, or the world certainly does, if our garden has been watered accordingly, and all of the relevant weeds have been pulled out - metaphorically speaking of course. The author of the book by the same title (The Body Keeps The Score), Bessel van der Kolk paves the way for a grounding, heavy, eye opening yet awesome read into the human psyche; and (of course) trauma plays a significant role. All of our not so positive thoughts and setbacks to teach us lesson after lesson are all the epitome of trauma. This is why life can feel like smooth sailing for a small percentage of people; while for the majority of us, life is blighted with issue after issue, all thanks to the subconscious. (And that includes all of those circumstances in the opening image of this article.)

Stop the cycle of senseless overthinking
We all do it. We get caught up in the current of little worries, the petty anxieties, the constant loop of things that, if we're honest with ourselves, simply don't deserve the precious minutes we grant them. We allow the trivial, the insignificant slights and the fleeting judgments, to take up prime real estate in our minds. And what is the cost of this habit? It's a fundamental loss of joy and a shocking squandering of our most limited resource: time. It’s time we shift our perspective, isn’t it? It’s time we truly learn how to live the good life we deserve, not just dream about it.

How to Forgive Yourself for the Things You Cannot Undo
There are mistakes that live in our minds long after they happened. Maybe it was a word spoken in anger, a relationship we destroyed, or a choice that pulled our lives in a direction we never imagined. Regret can replay in our heads like a song we cannot switch off, and shame becomes a heavy chain around the heart. Yet no matter how permanent the past may seem, forgiveness has the power to loosen its grip. Learning to forgive yourself does not erase what was done, but it allows healing to take root where pain once lived.

Echoes of the Quiet Room
I anticipated seeing nothing when I initially opened my grandmother's room door after she passed away. I anticipated that the room would feel empty, devoid of warmth, and composed solely of dust, cloth, and wood. Rather, I discovered presence—an unseen thread of something that encircled me before I had even crossed the threshold.
