Yes exactly. It gets to a point where you just have to believe the tests and scans, as well as the doctors when they say that nothing is physically wrong in your body. If only the doctors would tell you that it's just the nervous system, I'm sure people would feel so much better. But the problem is doctors just tell your normal and then send you home, so then you're even more anxious and lose trust in the entire medical system
Just came upon this video and it's like a message from the universe right now.I have come to a really challenging stage in my recovery where many negative past experiences and fears for the future have joined forces to stir up more symptoms and anxiety.I have really taken on the 3 foot analogy as it reasonated with me immediately.My sincere thanks to you for all you do to help other people in their own recovery.
Thank you for this! I came over here from your first vid! I’m definitely a thinking machine and always looking forward for some sort of “ideal” state where I’m finally 100 percent but you’re right, I need to be appreciate life now and be happy with myself in this moment. Today I umpire baseball games all day (my side gig, I’m pretty functional but just with a lot of symptoms) and I will work on staying in my three foot world. Thank you for everything you do this is awesome!
Thank you for your support! Yup it all starts with your mind, as Dr. John Demartini said: Beliefs become thoughts Thoughts become words Words become actions Actions become habits Habits become values Values become your destiny So you have to get to the bottom of why you're thinking machine, what are you constantly thinking about and why do you feel the need to think about those things. Once you solve things out those deeper levels everything else seems to fall into place
thanks you I'm glad you find it helpful! There's so much I can incllude in these video topics but I try to share actionable steps people can take to help them
DWM which brain retraining program are you doing? Is it from a book or online? How long did it take you to get to where you are now from where you started implementing the changes.
@@deion312 Congratulations, that's awesome! You said you've done two recovery programs. Thriving Therapies was one of them. What was the other, please?
Hi Miguel, in the last week I watched most of your videos and I really want to thank you. Even though I already read and learned a lot about CFS and healing you still provided me with a lot of new helpful insights. I'm on my way to recovery, it's just a matter of time now. I wish you all the best with this channel (it's really growing fast for a CFS channel) and your video business. Cheers from Belgium
Thank you Thomas! Glad you were able to take away some value from the videos I've put out, continue to implement them and stay steady on your journey to recovery. Wish you the best!
“More then 6 years has passed since I am facing this anxiety & chronic headache which is preset with me 24x7. Visited so many Doctors but no one has helped me till date!” My head always feel heavy & my body feel tired!” What I do I don’t know!”😢😢😢
Would love to hear from you the specific steps that you took for yourself to calm down your nervous system. The visualisations and letters to your future self etc and how each of these steps helped you whenever you have time.
I'll break this down in the separate video topics, I have a video I'm editing right now where I talk about the number one most effective brain exercise I used during my recovery. Stay tuned!
I’ve actually broken the stone in a few interviews but I can definitely create a video for my own channel talking about this! Thanks for the suggestion👊🏼
Hi i saw your story on Raelans channel and I'm enjoying your content. Do you have a special brain retraining for the depression, anxiety and frustration that comes with these conditions? Thanks. I've started your brain retraining for pain reduction.
Hi LM1, great question. I've answered this a few times in our Facebook Group - Community of Thrivers. I'd suggest joining that if you haven't already. To answer your question here: I haven't come across a brain retraining exercise that solves all those things you listed immediately. Those symptoms/issues go away once the pain is solved because pain is something that is constantly taking energy away from you and constantly putting stress on the nervous system. In addition to getting rid of the pain, it takes a mindset shift to get rid of the anxiety which can be even more detrimental than the pain. I touch on this a little bit in some videos but I'll release a video very soon about this topic When I was getting better, I looked at fatigue and other strange symptoms as secondary issues. When we’re constantly in pain our bodies are stressed and that stress never really goes away. Once we start lowering that pain, overall stress is reduced in our bodies, so other symptoms and fatigue start to dissolve. I really just focused on dealing with the pain at first (because mine was so bad even though I physically wasn’t doing anything). Once I got the pain under control then I felt my energy start to come back. Some things I did that helped with everything else -cool shower every night before bed helped relax my body so I could have a great sleep -sleeping with an eye mask so I could stay asleep (this made a huge difference) -NOT overreacting to symptoms and adjustment periods, but seeing them as necessary on the road to recovery.
Claire Weekes always teaches not to fight your thoughts just to let them come and know that they are just thoughts. Sometimes it's really hard not to engage with them though.
There's quite a few things that caused him to crash I actually go deep into it in this interview! check. it out - th-cam.com/video/jVKbnSBqUiE/w-d-xo.html
I’m sure this comment will prove I’m overthinking, but since I started recovering I’m having some original symptoms come back including depression and some fears of things that aren’t truly scary. I also find myself avoiding be home and wanting to be on the go. Is this common?
Yep I’m a Google hamster wheel queen . Have had all the tests over the last 24 years. Nothin, absolutely nothing man. Overthinking is my jam, ADHD brain doesn’t help. I am in constant fear and anxiety even though I’m well educated in neuroscience and psychology I’m still quite desperate .
I would love to help you out but I have to see if we can even help you first. I always recommend going through the questionnaire and if you qualify, booking a strategy call to see if you're a good fit for the program! www.cfsrecovery.co/apply.

In my experience, there is always the possibility of more labs and scans, and there comes a point where even that needs to come to a stop.
Yes exactly. It gets to a point where you just have to believe the tests and scans, as well as the doctors when they say that nothing is physically wrong in your body. If only the doctors would tell you that it's just the nervous system, I'm sure people would feel so much better.

I’ve been doing a lot of overthinking lately so this video is very helpful to me. Thank you Miguel!
Happy to hear that!

Thank you for your support! Yup it all starts with your mind, as Dr. John Demartini said:
Beliefs become thoughts
Thoughts become words
Words become actions
Actions become habits
Habits become values
Values become your destiny
So you have to get to the bottom of why you're thinking machine, what are you constantly thinking about and why do you feel the need to think about those things. Once you solve things out those deeper levels everything else seems to fall into place
Yess!!!! Practical tips. These videos are going to help people for years and years.

Update?
@Kovek1988, I recovered fully and work full-time since 2 months. I made a video on how I recovered on my TH-cam channel.
@@thomasetienne02 I am very very happy for you :) What was your "secret"?

The Bible says this : to take every thought captive ….
Thoughts are like a double edge sword, they can make us or break us. We just have to learn how to harness its power for good.
Thank you so much. This was much needed.
You are so welcome!
Please do a story time with your experience in depth with your Doctor Who helped you! Thanks
