Simplifying My Healing Routine

a deeper dive into my day to day routine

Happy Sunday Fam!!

There was a time not long ago when writing down my healing routine would’ve literally taken pages. I was in deep in the process of researching, experimenting, chasing every possible “next step” that might finally make me feel well again. And honestly, that phase was necessary. Not only because I have learned so much about the world of wellness, healing and holistic health…but because it has brought me into deeper connection with my body and trust with myself. When your body is screaming for help, you become desperate enough to do anything you can to try and help it. and for me, that meant trying every alternative modality, taking any and every supplement, trying every biohacky thing out there. It’s not that those things aren’t incredibly helpful, it’s that they aren’t the “silver bullet”.

I’m in a different chapter now and I want to share what thats looked like lately. Since coming home from treatment in Switzerland, I’ve felt this quiet shift inside me to simplify. I know I spoke about it last week, but I want to share more tangibles.

And yes, I know that even my “simplified” routine might still feel like a lot to some. But for me, this way of being brings me peace and stability and its a lot less daunting than my old routine would’ve been if I shared it.

There were chapters of my journey where my body could only tolerate meat. Literally nothing else. Times where I lived on pureed soups and herbal broths because anything more would send my body into chaos. There were months I couldn’t digest food properly, when hunger felt unbearable (still working on this) and where my nervous system was so fried I couldn’t handle light, noise, or even touch.

I’ve spent years feeling like an enigma. confused as fuck by my symptoms, confused by how “different” I feel from others, confused that something as simple as eating fruit or taking a vitamin could have me doubled over on the floor. I’ve tried to force my body into submission. I've been frustrated with its slowness, its sensitivity, its refusal to cooperate and I spend much of my time in prayer asking what is is I need to do or know in order to heal fully.

But recently I’ve let go. I’ve deepened into a level of surrender I wasn’t sure I’d ever experience.

I no longer see my body as a problem to fix. I see it as a deeply attuned vessel. A barometer for my truth and a sacred part of my soul’s journey here on earth.

I’ve stopped fighting with it and truly started listening.

And the more I accept and love the fact that I’m just a sensitive being having a human experience, the more peace I feel. My sensitivity isn’t a weakness, it’s a gift. It’s what makes me incredibly intuitive. It’s what makes me able to sense what others feel without them even saying it. It’s what makes me me.

So yes, there is absolutely a time and place for protocols and deep interventions. I honor that chapter. But I’ve learned the hard way that more is not always better.

Sometimes the most healing moments are the ones that look like nothing from the outside:

sun on your skin, bare feet in the grass and feeling safe in your own presence.

So here’s what’s supporting me right now and how I’ve been spending my days. and when I talk about grounding in nature…this is what I mean!!
