Simple - Not Easy

[@sarahallen9315]

“Don’t look at your feet to see if you’re doing it right. Just dance.” (Anne Lamott) Saw this quote and thought of you, Dan! Don’t overthink it folks. This takes time - still having symptoms or having setbacks doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong, or you need to search for that one magic technique that you’re missing.

Thanks to you Dan my Christmas looks very different than a year ago when I had to live outdoors due to catastrophic mold allergy. Also had ME/CFS that kept me bed (hammock) ridden. Found you in February and now I stay how ever old or new house I want and have almost normally active life. Simple seems to have power. Thank you Dan for pretty much saving my life.

U are a wonder dear friend. Will be thinking of u Cmas Eve & Day. U are SO KIND propping us up at this always “uncertain” time of year. God threw away the template when he made you . U are digging this 83 yr old PhD out of her 43 yr hole of back pain . Read Sarno the minute he wrote his books back in 80’s & knew instantly it was me. Just couldn’t figure out how to get from A to Z. Thank u for blazing the “simple” trail w ur brains, insight & perseverance

[@hea7055]

I'm on a recovery programme that yes, as you say, has a minimum of 1 hour of rounds per day in addition to covering all 5 pillars of tasks/exercises per day. This I'm finding taps into my type A personality of perfectionism, so feelings of stress can evolve with the pressure of fulfilling the day's programme requirements. If they're not completed then feelings of failure come in and, as you say, worry I won't therefore get better. I had a perceived stressful event to attend to yesterday. This resulted in a flare of my symptoms. Interestingly it wasn't my recovery programme that saw me through it, it was your voice playing in my mind from your videos and somatic tracking that reduced my symptoms by 50% and helped me accomplish the day! 🙂 So thank you Dan. I now watch a video of yours every day. I called it my "DDD time" - "Daily Dose of Dan". Wishing you a good Christmas from the UK.

Happy coach to have snow on Christmas 🎄 ! I had to buy a spray to have that effect on my 🌲 😂 Thanks for another year of daily calming messages Dan! The love and compassion you out in them are also contributing to everyone ´s healing. Some people have more trauma and can go deeper. It’s not that complicated either. The subconscious shows us what to work on when we feel safer in this process. It doesn’t need to be a competition between coaches either . Each in their own they offer big value .. Everyone can choose who and what approach they follow. A big part of healing is also taking your own power back and follow your own needs and intuition. I wish you a lovely family time, give mummy Buglio a hug , and Finn too❤ Happy Christmas 🤶 everyone 🌲🌲🌲🎁🙋‍♀️

I was told this same thing years ago from a psychologist. Many things we hear in our healing journey are simple to say and hear, yet they aren’t so easy to really live as our truth. That particular therapist was a Ph.D. and was rocket scientist level intelligent. While it sounds like some kind of folk wisdom, he totally embraced that statement as truth after decades of working with patients

So I know that a lot of people get TMS because of traumatic situations or other issues they've had in their lives where they feel in danger emotionally... I wanted to check if it's common what I'm experiencing I've always noticed that even though I'm the nicest person in the world that strangers will often treat me poorly and with less respect than others...even something simple like going to McDonald's or Starbucks...the cashier will be nice to other people but nasty to me... Or I was just in a supermarket which I've been getting back to opening my world again(doing more things again)now that I'm calming down my nervous system but as I was in there this kid had her cart in the middle of the aisle and I asked her to move it and she just gives me a dirty look and moves it one centimeter.... I feel like what probably put me into the perceived danger originally it was that I was tired of these sorts of situations always happening and so maybe the symptoms ramped up to keep me housebound and protect me from this stuff but now that I'm getting better and into these situations again and living life again I'm noticing this stuff is happening more... And I fear that it will increase my symptoms to protect me from going out into the world again in dealing with these sorts of people. Happy holidays Dan.

[@michelefinizio6520]

😊 thank you Dan that's why I love listening to your videos simple it's better for me less stress on myself less complicated I have a question is it okay to feel frustrated and acknowledge those feelings and just move on being calm and positive but acknowledge the frustration is there I don't want to deny my emotions and keep them in won't that prevent you from getting better?

Yes it's simple and yes it's a matter of teaching the brain, but what's hard for me is to balance this with also listening to my subconscious.
