I know a young lady who has ME, Myalgic Encephalopathy. She has had it for many years but is now living a full, wonderful and enjoyable life. Through coaching, we came up with the following 10 tips to help people with M.E.
1. Imagine a life with energy and health
2. Make friends with your ME, accept it and ask yourself how you can move on with it
3. Ask what ME has given you and what have you learnt from having it.
4. Recognise the 'stopping' steps. That is when it is time to recoup the energy by relaxing and be happy that it can be recognised. When it is recognised, remember to accept it and embrace the relaxation and know that this relaxation is 'recharging your batteries'.
5. What strategies can you put in place that will enable you to do more or recharge your battery of life and happiness?
6. Remember one person's ME is not the same as another
7. Be prepared for the journey, there is no quick fix just small stepping stones which are giant achievements
8. Be happy with small journey goals - they will get better, remember from small acorns big trees grow.
9. Find someone who will support you but challenge you.
10. Listen to your body - be mindful of it and respect it.
These are just a few tips to help you or someone you care about with ME. Perhaps if you have any further tips, you can let me know by contacting me personally.
