Listen to Ann Mary (65 years young) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Recovery story. Going from sleeping 18 hours a day to waking up with energy everyday! Be ready to be inspired and feel hope!

[@karendeluce9131]

Loved this episode. I listened as a podcast in my car and then have watched it again on KZbin as it was so inspiring. I am delighted that Ann Mary has made such a great recovery. She oozes positivity and there were lots of great nuggets of advice from her story.

[@michaeldruitt9071]

Inspiring recovery story. Biggest learning from Ann Mary's story - the importance of being consistent "little-by-little becomes a lot", plus creating and maintaining healthy boundaries with yourself and others - a challenge for many of us who are chronic people pleasers! Thanks for sharing!

[@CFSHealth]

Great insight! Thanks for sharing!

[@kendraweech4253]

Absolutely love the energy and the joy. Letting go and leaning in to trusting yourself to do the letting go and letting your body lead the way… it does come down to trusting yourself and others ❤ 40:36

How come some people with CFS sleep so much and others suffer from insomnia? I have difficulty sleeping and feel like that is stopping me from recovering fully

[@CFSHealth]

It’s totally dependant on what stage of recovery you’re in! Watch our free training to understand which stage you might be in - www.cfshealth.Com/the3stages

[@wzupppp]

@@CFSHealth my sleep is improving I went from 2-3 hours of sleep to 6-7 hours. Still wake up unrefreshed but there is improvement. My real question however is, why do some suffer from excessive sleep while others cant even fall asleep? This can happen to people who are both in stage 1

[@nicholasmcquillin4659]

It's v confusing I think there are different types of CFS my type is anxiety, stress I have PTSD, mine was started with stress, I think other peeps are taking ill by viruses

Ann Mary! Great to hear you again. I’ve missed your joyful presence. This timely reminder has been so helpful to remind my to pull back to 50% of what my brain thinks I can do. Onwards and upwards for you, you wise joy giver!

[@juliepalmer2589]

So inspiring and motivating! I want some of that zest that Anne has! You look fabulous Anne. I'm 56 and look and feel haggered! After 10 years of pushing and crashing and deteriorating I finally said "enough!" last Sunday. Having crashed again causing me to feel like I was losing my mind ! I've been sleeping and resting for the last week and this story couldn't have come at a better time for me! Thanks for all you do Toby! It's much appreciated! Xx

[@johndolan6439]

I really needed to hear this, I felt so good yesterday I did an extra 10 lengths in the pool and crashed horribly overnight and succumbed to a pity party ! This wonderful video has got me onto the right mindset again," little by little", "gratitude" " lead suit" are gems! Thanks Ann Mary and Toby

[@beckanewell128]

Absolutely womderful stuff! Ann Mary you are a breath of fresh air. Very inspiring.

[@suzannahrutherford985]

Ann Mary thank you so much for sharing your story! I find so much to relate to and appreciate. As an older woman with chronic fatigue it is so easy to have people/doctors write you off. (Getting older is not for wimps!) So true difficulty planning when you aren’t sure you’ll have the energy.

[@suejohn311]

Your energy shines through like a bright star, Ann Mary. I loved watching/listening to this! 🌟 ❤

[@tabithapeers2430]

@@CFSHealth thank you, I’m slowly going through them 😊

[@maryharrison472]

Very inspiring for me, age 67.

[@kristybeecroft8890]

Brilliant interview, you're so inspiring Ann, you were a guiding light for me in the FB community, always encouraging and beautiful by nature, you worked hard and it's amazing to hear how life is progressing for you. You deserve happiness and abundant health. Lots of love, Kristy xx😊

[@bettyjeanpetrinovich7373]

Huge takeaway for me ... doing an activity that might end up being too much, then planning to rest. That seems to work for me, but I've been reluctant to go over my baseline. Glad to know that it has worked for her in the long run. Love her joy!

[@CFSHealth]

Good stuff

[@joannerijff3545]

awesome testimony

[@CFSHealth]

Super inspiring

[@Thelordsrain]

Biggest takeaway for me was let your body control what you can do, not your mind. I’m saving up to do the program I wish I had the money right now though as I’d be able to get better sooner.

[@karendeluce9131]

I really really wish I could afford the program too. However, I am so grateful for the progress I have made just from the free content.

[@carolfyall688]

Hi Anne. Love that with your hair. Mine isbright red right now and i am 54.

[@JacquiQ]

I did a three day course, similar to The Lightening Process, and I came home feeling better and positive but it was not sustainable . I was completely committed to it , to doing whatever I had to do, whatever was asked of me I did it, and it didn't work for me.

[@tammyprovost8320]

So inspiring and encouraging!

[@elainemartin9654]

Thankyou….❤

You're welcome 😊

Comment below your biggest learning from Ann Mary’s recovery journey!

[@leeteed2240]

I can’t stand prescription meds. I’m on so many now for a decade to 3 decades. I’ve been thinking they are a big part of me feeling worse. That amitriptyline see was on made me feel way worse.

[@randomname4726]

How is this possible for someone who has kids, pets and a house to care for? Maybe I have to wait until they leave home.

[@CFSHealth]

Nope. Totally possible! Search for Charlie Bennions recovery story. Totally possible. We have single parents who have recovered through the program. It might not be easy. But it’s possible 🙂

[@user-ub6br3ie2h]

Every episode Ive watched focuses on attitude and mindset. While I agree these are important you never address the physical aspects. I feel like there is a lack of acknowledgement of the very real physical illness and Im not talking about chasing a myriad of symptoms. Why do you never detail the physical aspects of what had to be worked on for the body to respond with health because although these testimonies are nice its all really a bit pie in the sky to me.

[@CFSHealth]

Hey there! Please go back through our podcast episodes. We cover the physical aspect of recovery very deeply. In fact the first point of call is getting your appropriate baseline on a physical level. Majorly important. Start with our popular KZbin video “Exercise and chronic fatigue syndrome.” In saying that. Implementing the physical aspects of recovery require a huge mental shift to make the changes necessary to move forwards. This is why mindset is a crucial aspect of recovery and often talked about as pivotal moments for members in their recovery as they make the physical changes and adaptations necessary to recover.
