Katie, this is a great piece! I write https://dysautonomiajournal.substack.com and encourage the next small step. It's how we move forward, how we learn and grow (in small steps rather than in leaps). I have learned my own body responds best to this. As a coach and woman with lived experience of physical therapy for Dysautonomia, this works.

Giving yourself grace to rest, restore and just be is sometimes the most helpful next step to take.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing! Yes! the small steps can compliment our energy and needs so much better. And for me, when large leaps forward can seem/appear so much more tempting, it’s sometimes tough to remember how important and helpful the small steps can really be πŸ’•

And someone who lives with depression I recognize procrastination as a comfort zone from getting back to it (life).
