Going back to my martial arts class for the first time since my knee accident felt daunting. Would be knee be fine? …. the real challenge, though, turned out to be something entirely different!

Shouldn’t I feel stronger almost 7 months post-knee-surgery? …about the mental and emotional traps around recovery …

Walking is part of my morning routine. Dedicated me-time.

After my coffee. Only ever after coffee.

Should I have knee surgery or not? I was sitting on the fence. Once I surrendered into the process, something magical happened ….

I was set the task of writing a love letter to my body.
Anger surged through me whenever I thought about my body.

A love letter seemed out of question...

I’ve been in chronic pain as long as I remember.
Every day.
Was there anything that could help?

My chronic pain was my constant companion. I’d worked on the external factors, like diet, exercise, and sleep. Still, the pain did not budge. There had to be more!

Gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free.

Yummy!

My period! A necessary evil interrupting my life!

… or might this be entirely different?

What we put inside of us matters.

I had no idea how much ….

I suffered from chronic fatigue. Working on my diet, dropping alcohol, exercising and meditating helped little. I could not shake the suspicion something else was at play.
…until I learned about the Epstein-Barr-Virus.

My skin was breaking out. I was exhausted. I had tummy pains and chronic pain.

Why was I not getting any better?
