over the last 18 months ive found that small things can make a big difference and i was thinking of all the little things i do or have that help me so i thought i would share them
- I have Memory foam pillow and mattress topper , to help with neck pain/ back ache and aid a good night sleep
- Vitamins , I try to eat healthy but i also take supplements and a immune system booster just over the counter stuff ( Always check with your doctor)
- Meditation, i often listen to meditation tapes /cds or just sit and let my mind fall silent
- Lavender, i burn lavender incense as it is calming and aids sleep an incense in general is great just to give one of your senses/smell something nice for a change
- Electric blanket , I have that is made for the back and straps around you but any electric blanket will do to sooth those aches and keep you warm when your feeling the cold , mine switches off after 40 mins but make sure to always turn it off
- Music, there is alot to be said for the power of music happy tunes will help to lift you when needed and relaxing music when laying down or meditating is great
- A comfortable space, Ive made my bedroom m little haven , in a positive way, i try not to isolate but make it a place i can relax in and enjoy
- A hobby, I used to crochet but lately that has been a issue as my hands wont let me but any little thing you enjoy , A book A film, a game on the computer really anything you enjoy
- My dog , although i a in no means saying a person should run pout and get a pet i do beleave that animals are great for me ,playing with my dog or getting him out is often the only excersize i get and a good cuddle with him is always a heart warmer
- Friends its hard to keep friends when your not able to get out like you once did or be a great host but i try to keep in touch with them and see the when im well enough, people are surprisingly helpful and supportive if you let them be but not always
- Books on tape , is something ive come to love when i cant sleep or cant concentrate its a great way to stop from starring at the walls and takes my mind of pain
- Computer . My Computer is my life line im in touch with many of my friends online i play games online i research , blog and get help from the comfort or discomfort of my own bed
