I Don't Know Who Needs to Hear This

Words of love and encouragement. Plus, 3/15 is Long COVID Awareness Day.

Hi friends,

A mid-week check in: how’s everyone doing? How’s your week flowing so far? Drop a line or two or six or ten if you have anything on your mind.

I wanted to share this video by Dan Buglio of Pain Free You. Dan’s daily videos about how to overcome chronic pain and symptoms are a lifeline for many. He talks a lot about dialing down fear and treating symptoms with indifference, so that your brain can stop paying attention to them (and thus, stop amplifying them). Since pain is created in the brain, this makes a lot of sense.

I watched this video of his, “I Don’t Know Who Needs to Hear This,” a few weeks ago and it really touched my heart and mind. I thought I’d send it separate from my other posts to draw your attention to it mid-week, when many of us are at our most stressed. I hope it resonates for you too. Let me know what you think.

I’ve been remiss in not posting about Long COVID Awareness Day, which is coming up this Friday, March 15th. There are many actions you can take to commemorate the day and push for change. You can find out more here.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Our girl Zira is having major surgery this Friday, so my head may not be on right for LCAD. I’m not one to pray, but if you’ll send good energy, juju, or prayers into the ether for our little spicy calico, I know she’ll appreciate it. Or maybe it’s just that WE will. Either way, thank you 🧡.

In sickness and in health,

✌🏻 Amy
