Gorgeous. Numbness is your brain taking care of you with an ‘I’ve got this for now’ message. How clever and beautiful a brain indeed. Love this post ♥️

Thank you Coral - these brains of ours know what to do don’t they? I have zero knowledge of neuroscience but I’ll trust that mine is on my side 😅

That’s a conversation for some time then. Neuroscience (at a super basic level!) is my passion ❤️

As I was reading this, I was thinking what a relief that numbness must feel like - but was thinking, but it’s not pleasant to stay there, I hope Helen doesn’t want to stay in that fog! - just as you ended your post with “but I don’t want to stay there!” I do hope you start feeling better and maybe a little transformed by your illness xx

Thank you Lynne - yes it was novel for a few days but you’re absolutely right, definitely don’t want to be hanging around in that space for longer than necessary. And as is my want, I am always looking for the lesson 💛

You always make so much sense. We are all terrible at being still. So glad that you’re on the mend x

Thank you love, I’m glad too! 💛 Thing is I know I’m pretty good at resting - it’s just working through the feelings of guilt that come up when I do 😬
