Does this make sense?
Leave a key insight you had after watching this video so someone else can benefit!
Even talking to an extremely fit friend he says that it's really unpredictable how he'll feel on any given day. One of the biggest things I'm learning now is to recognise my fatigue level, after years of just overriding it. Getting back in touch with my body and what it needs. The most difficult thing is then overriding the voice is the demon in my head telling me it'll be ok to do a bit more.
Very well said... our old pattern behaviour must be rewired..DAMN THAT DEMON!!!
Does your fit friend have CFS?
@@Fly_Butterfly... no. He did get ill though with Guillaume Barre. And what's interesting is how much fitness he lost as a result
Well said! This is the work!
Less is more
Less is more
Less is more
Should be the mantra
100000x / day
This would chase the demon away😊
I'm currently in a DO NOT MOVE stage because I walked 12k steps almost 2 weeks ago. My max number of steps I can safely do is about 4 or 5k.. But I was trying to pass a kidney stone using gravity and movement.. I passed the damn thing, but been really paying for it! Great video!
This is so helpful when i have Doctors telling me to exercise or walk every day ...their info is not helpful and i don't think they're educated enough on cfs.
Thank you so much for this video.
Glad it was helpful Julie! Reach out to the team if you’d like proper help from us at info@cfshealth.com it will save the second guessing and give you a direct plan!
Thank you...I appreciate knowing there is help.
I made notes to use when spk to Employee Health doctor , thank you
Most important is nutrition sleep and keeping stress low ...if your exhausted and hurting dont train go for a slow walk in nature listen to the body. Now at the tail end of recovery if im feeling shit i rest that whole day and sleep as much as possible. CfS and anxiety disorders are very very similar its all one and the same slow and steady
15:42 hey thank you. This makes so much sense! I relate totally.
So glad it makes sense!
@@CFSHealth is it normal for any emotional stress to totally deplete all energy no matter whether it's a big or tiny issue?
Thanks Toby.
Fantastic. Thank you so much for your help.
Beautiful Toby, thank you! Could you please give examples of consistent exercise based on your diagram?🙏
Will look at doing one in a coming episode!
Hello, Thank you for your very helpful videos. I am trying to accepted the fact that I may be dealing with CFS and as I listen to your various videos, I do recognize and relate to many of the signs. I find that my motivation to do anything outside of my self made bubble overwhelms me and leaves me feeling very guilty as mentally, emotionally as well as physically, I cannot make the effort to do even the things that I really would enjoy, like getting on a plane to visit my grandchildren which has made my son and his wife very angry and judgmental toward me and will not communicate with me. That really hurts. I am trying so hard to overcome and do the things I feel I need to do to get stronger again after many years of extremely stressful situations which I believe has led to my extreme exhaustion, mentally, physically and emotionally. After listening to your video on GET I think I fall into this category because having always been a "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps" kind of person, I push myself with water aerobics, volunteering, and generally staying busy when I am not laying down recovering from my busyness which makes me feel lazy and a failure. I cannot even get myself to make sensible plan for myself as you have suggested in other videos as that take too much effort for me mentally. I tend to just go through the motions of familiar activities without thinking about them too much until I crash for a couple of days and then force myself to get up and go again. I just wish that I could feel the energy that I had in abundance not so very long ago. And I do understand that at my age, (76) that slowing down is part of the aging process, but then again, I see my sister who is seven years older than me and who is into so many physical activities such as playing tennis, cycling 20-30miles several times a week with her friends, etc it leaves me feel envious of her and she does not understand why I cannot do these things with her so she get irritated with me which in turn leave me feeling like a failure. A vicious circle. I do not accept invitations out with friends and family as I am too tired and would rather stay home alone. But that too makes me feel guilty. My friends and family have given up on inviting me to join them. I am sorry that this is such a long email, but this is the first time that I have felt able to express just some of what I am going through. Maybe this is the first step toward the outcome I am so desperately trying to pursue. I shall continue to watch your videos and if you have any suggestions for me, I would surely appreciate your feedback. Again, thank you so much for all that you do to help those who are looking for answers to this very difficult malady.
I emphasise with your situation and am trying Journalspeak - listen to the cure for chronic pain with Nicole Sachs it's helpful
I do NOT think you're lazy, I think you're a wonderful person that maybe gives all her energy to others. What if I'd say you only can be the person you want to be (giving, caring, go out there, visit friends and family...), if you stop the push/crash cycle? Why not focus on that? You can take care of others, so why not take that same, loving care for yourself?
Sending love
I feel that the things you said hit exactly on my dealings, with my desire to start walking and running every other day when unfortunately I still struggle with weakness and unrefreshing sleep, or lack of sleep. I am filled with optimism with your guidance, which is exactly adapted to my situation, and with the instruction to listen to the body. Yes, sometimes "less is more"!
Thanks so much for laying this out with great clarity. I feel as though I am juggling different balls all the time.. e.g. resting vs dogwalking, staying at home vs working part time etc. The baseline concept makes total sense & I'm working it out ... currently by trial & error but I'm aiming to get there.
Thanks so much! It really clarified things for me. It will be a great guideline.
Feels like the first time: A, this really resonates with me: B, there is a whole package in one:
Glad to hear that it resonated with you Susan!
Thank you 🙏
Please keep saying this. - YOU are the person who knows your own body best. Listen to your body. Find te sweet spot. LESS is more. Consistency over intensity.
You are usually someone who pushes yourself and your body. That’s NOT going to be the solution now!
Restorative Restorative Restorative!!! Maybe I now will chose a restorative yoga practice as my activity! As I keep walking and crashing!
What is a modality?

Im brand new to this. 😢 Is there a CFS for dummies? I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Toby explains a lot in his videos, but to start: find out your baseline. There's a free guide to find that from CFS health
They’re treating CFS like its a condition that hinges on building muscle or fitness.
“Progress” won’t help.
Thanks for sharing!
