Some days, you might simply feel tired of working so hard at recovery.
I understand that feeling.
There can be moments when you’re doing the work, challenging familiar patterns, feeling emotions you once avoided, and trying to choose differently—and you become exhausted.
In 7 Nuggets For Healing Your Relationship with Food, I talk about recovery fatigue and something I want you to remember: needing a break doesn’t have to mean abandoning your recovery. Rest can simply be rest.
This is also why I keep returning to compassion throughout the book. New ways of responding to yourself take practice. At first they can require conscious effort, but with repetition, those responses can begin to become new habits.
So on the days when healing feels heavy, perhaps the tool you need isn’t another push.
Perhaps you need permission to rest, care for yourself, lean on your support system, and return when you’re ready.
You are allowed to rest and still remain committed to yourself.
If you’d like more of the practical tools and compassionate reminders I used on my own journey, 7 Nuggets For Healing Your Relationship with Food is here for you to return to whenever you need it:
