Thank you so much. I have just listened to it and it was just what I needed to hear. I have had Long COVID for the past year and am really struggling with acceptance.
I know I need to pause and rest rather than constantly pushing through
Your summer pause is what I need to do but mine will be a winter one as I am in Aotearoa New Zealand.
I so wish you deep rest, as a fellow CFS person i so relate to this, it's deeply humbling to realize how much rest we need and as a "high achieving and ambitious" person this has been the hardest for me. I love to rest and slow down, but the practice of self compassion and self acceptance is unimaginably hard. And letting go of the shame even a harder practice. I hope you have the time and space to nurture yourself and feel deeply restored. Also, thank you for your honesty, we need more vulnerability and it's refreshing to see this.
Looking forward to listening to the radio piece Yasmin! The summer pause on here sounds like the best choice to allow you to focus on your book project and rest. Love how your Substack is developing and will continue to do so when you´re back in the Autumn. Enjoy the summer xxx
Will definitely be tuning into your radio piece & we'll all be here when you get back. Loads of love ❤️

Will of course miss the updates, but glad you're taking care of yourself first!
