    • Aids and AdaptationsAids and adaptations are an essential part of living well with chronic illness and disability. It can be overwhelming to know which aids to choose or which adaptations might be most useful. Even more so for conditions which fluctuate or go through phases of activity and remission. By sharing honest reviews and tips, we hope to make choosing aids and adaptations easier; whether it’s for personal use at home or when requesting accommodations in public spaces.
    • BalanceThe Balance section of the blog is about finding our equilibrium.  Our health is made up of physical and mental wellbeing, which draws from a variety of components e.g. nutrition, habits, sleep quality, fulfilment and self expression, relationships, social and spiritual life, work (if we’re able to) and others. Many of these key foundation components have their own sections on the blog. Balance is vital because it’s only when we are in tune with each aspect of our health that we can fully experience wellness. In this section, you’ll find advice, reviews, recommendations and insights for helping to find balance, especially between physical and mental health. It also contains some of the more ‘fun’ posts. Working to improve our health can sometimes be hard work, so it’s important to also make time for enjoyment!

Whether it’s regular outpatients appointments, i Whether it’s regular outpatients appointments, inpatient care, or ambulance trips with greater frequency than anyone would wish for, a hospital go bag packed and ready is a real energy saver!

Mine has printed lists of regular medications, medical conditions and allergies. Plus a phone charger, eye mask, ear plugs, gluten free snacks, travel pillow and a cardigan.

What are you hospital essentials?

Who else is loving picnic season? PR/gifted I l Who else is loving picnic season?

PR/gifted 

I love eating in the garden, it’s such a healthy pleasure 😃

This handwoven sea grass basket is so versatile, I use it to carry my picnic lunch but it is perfect for storage whether it’s in the bathroom, playroom or lounge (it folds down if you’d like to display the contents).

I can imagine it’s also great for beach days and safely transporting all your bits - it’s years since I had a beach day but this basket has such summer vibes 🏖️ 

It’s from @rexlondonuk and also comes in a larger size and there are several colour ways. Tap on the image to shop.

Do you like eating al fresco?

Whoa! How are we already onto the 6th month of the Whoa! How are we already onto the 6th month of the year?!

For June my self-care goals are to continue taking care of my physical and mental health through movement (after 6 years of disability  and inactivity my muscles need strengthening), spending time in fresh air and nature, and continuing with the hypnosis course I started a few months ago - I’ve been doing half an hour every other week or so, so should finish this month.

We are well into May but due to my recent hospital activities I am keeping self care simple this month. Basically I’m taking all the time and space needed to recover, because that is my top priority. Nature and healing energy will be part of that.

I’m looking forward to getting out in nature this month even if it’s just seeing the cherry blossom on the tree near my home. I’m also keen to do some more movement and meditation as I’m really enjoying learning about the subconscious mind and how to connect with our inner selves. And finally I haven’t done any crafting for a while, this is a hobby I’ve been trying out since I became ill and I haven’t done it for a while. And that’s my self care goals for this month.
