Positive Affirmations: The tool you need to get through the day
I am a big believer in the power and importance of self-care, and am constantly adapting and learning new ways to take care of myself. One of the things I’ve discovered recently is positive affirmations – something that I actually do but didn’t realise it was a useful tool. Positve affirmations, or self-talk, consist of phrases that can help calm you down, or keep you going, when you are in the midst of low mood or anxiety.

Old Before My Time
I’m 27, and while to me that does feel old I do know that I have my whole life ahead of me and I am still young. I’m still in my twenties. I may not be 18 or 21 anymore, but your twenties are about being young and figuring out what you want to do. It’s about having fun. Unfortunately being 27 doesn’t really stop the symptoms of CFS/ME. I definitely don’t feel 27 most of the time. No time to read now? Pin it for later! Life when you feel old before your time. I don’t feel 27 I don’t feel 27 when I have to go to bed…
