Friday, 23 November 2018. Issue #137.
In this issue: Taking epsom salt baths to help with fibromyalgia, migraines and vertigo. When you miss the warning signs of your own invisible illness. Gift ideas for those with skin or scent sensitivities. Thoughts on why we’re not ‘warriors’, but simply living our lives and trying to be happy like everyone else. The only way to let better things into your life is to make room for them. Your life doesn’t have to be perfect for you to be grateful in the present moment. A short discussion on chronic illnesses, with the hope that they become more prominent within society. The opportunity for cosiness with autumn. Being mindful with your gift purchases this season, and how that can make a positive difference in the world.
“I actually take a lot of #baths because taking a shower aggravates my #vertigo for some bizzaro reason. And I always use #Epsomsalts. With #fibromyalgia and #migraine, the #magnesium does me good”: https://t.co/C8GLpzngMW @Nikki_Albert
