The Modern Art of Convalescence

I recently hosted a Webinar for Rest & Reset call The Modern Art Of Convalescence.  It’s a subject very close to my heart as I am choosing to convalesce at this point in my life.  It may be Cancer that made me re-evaluate my need to convalesce but really I should have chosen to do it a long time before now.  We all get caught up in life, me included, but we do need to leave space in our lives for recovery or something will inevitably bit us in our behinds.
 
What happens when we don't take time for recovery
  1. Burnout
  2. Decreased productivity
  3. Impaired cognitive function
  4. Weakened immune system
  5. Heightened levels of stress and anxiety. 
It is important to prioritise rest and recovery to maintain overall health and well-being.
5 stages of recovery
  1. Pre-contemplation
  2. Contemplation
  3. Preparation
  4. Action
  5. Maintenance. 
These stages are commonly used in addiction recovery, but can also be applied to other areas of recovery (cancer, chronic/acute health issues, stress, burnout, Long Covid, childbirth, grief and more).
10 reasons for recovery
  1. Improved physical health and well-being 
  2. Better mental health and emotional stability 
  3. Increased energy and vitality 
  4. Improved relationships with loved ones 
  5. Better job performance and career opportunities 
  6. More financial stability 
  7. Increased self-esteem and confidence 
  8. Greater sense of purpose and meaning in life 
  9. Ability to enjoy hobbies and activities 
  10. Overall improvement in quality of life
So you do need to put in a bit of work if you want any of the above 10 things but the good news is regular small changes can make big differences.
5 ways to convalesce
  1. Get plenty of rest and sleep
  2. Eat a healthy and balanced diet
  3. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  4. Take medications/supplements/herbs as prescribed
  5. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions for recovery (physio/rest/diet/therapy/time in nature…)
