Living with a dysregulated nervous system can make receiving constructive criticism or contrary advice feel like navigating an emotional minefield. When our nervous systems are already working overtime to maintain stability, feedback that challenges our established patterns. Unfortunately, even when well-intentioned feedback can trigger an intense physiological response. This reaction isn't just about being sensitive or defensive; it's rooted in our body's hardwired survival mechanisms, where change or perceived criticism can activate our threat response system, making it extraordinarily difficult to process information objectively. The challenge becomes particularly complex because this heightened state of arousal can manifest in ways that others might misinterpret. We might appear defensive, shut down completely, or become overwhelmed with emotion when receiving feedback that differs from our current approach. Our nervous system's immediate response to protect us can paradoxically prevent us from absorbing potentially valuable information that could help us grow. This creates a frustrating cycle where the very tools and advice that might help us regulate better become harder to implement precisely because we're dysregulated. Breaking this cycle requires a compassionate understanding from both those giving feedback and those receiving it. For those struggling with nervous system regulation, it's helpful to recognize that these reactions are valid physiological responses, not personal failures. This awareness can be the first step in developing strategies to receive feedback more effectively, such as requesting information in written form to process later, taking breaks during challenging conversations, or establishing clear boundaries about how and when feedback is delivered. The key lies not in forcing ourselves to immediately accept contrary viewpoints, but in creating safe conditions where our nervous systems can gradually adapt to receiving new information without becoming overwhelmed.

Recovery from CRPS requires patience and a methodical approach. When Krista and Alyssa found remission, they had to rebuild their strength gradually. They went from basic movements to more complex functions. Their muscles, work capacity, and overall stamina needed careful rehabilitation. The nervous system requires time to establish new, healthy patterns and cannot heal effectively in the same environment where the condition developed. Rushing the recovery process can trigger setbacks, as the body needs to slowly adapt to each new challenge. This gradual approach allows for sustainable healing and helps prevent the nervous system from becoming overwhelmed. #motivation #inspiration #chronicillness #firetribe #chronicillnessawareness #plan #goal #journey #greatthingstaketime #lifechanges #firetribevibes #firetribecommunity #remissionisreal #crps #crpsremission @Alchemized Solutions @Krista Forsman Buhler

Living with a chronic illness doesn’t mean putting your hopes and dreams on hold . It can mean learning to adapt and grow within your unique circumstances. As we step into the new year, setting intentional, achievable goals becomes not just helpful, but essential for maintaining both physical and emotional wellbeing. The key lies in breaking down larger aspirations into smaller, manageable steps that honor your body’s needs and limitations. Rather than comparing yourself to others or past versions of yourself, focus on identifying what truly matters to you and what success looks like on your own terms. A positive mindset, while not a cure-all, can profoundly impact how we navigate the daily challenges of chronic illness. This doesn’t mean ignoring difficult emotions or pretending everything is fine - rather, it’s about acknowledging your struggles while remaining open to joy, growth, and possibility. Consider setting goals that encompass not just physical health, but also mental wellbeing, relationships, and personal interests. Whether it’s dedicating five minutes to meditation, maintaining a simple gratitude practice, or reaching out to one friend each week, small consistent actions can create meaningful change over time. Remember that progress isn’t always linear, and being gentle with yourself during setbacks is just as important as celebrating your victories. #goalsetting #newyear #2025 #chronicpain #chronicillness #firetribe #firetribeofficial #firetribecommunity #firetribevibes #helpfulhints #HealingJourney #healthyhabits

Finding balance while establishing new healthy habits can feel like walking a tightrope. If you lean too far in either direction and you might feel like you are risking falling off completely. Many people approach lifestyle changes with an “all or nothing” mindset, diving headfirst into strict regimens that prove unsustainable. The key lies in understanding that meaningful change doesn’t require perfection, but rather consistent small steps that gradually reshape our daily routines. The most successful approach to building new habits often involves what behavioral scientists call “habit stacking”. This is attaching new behaviors to existing routines while maintaining flexibility. Instead of completely overhauling your schedule, consider integrating small changes that complement your current lifestyle. For example, rather than committing to hour-long daily workouts, you might start with five minutes of stretching while your morning coffee brews. This gentle approach allows you to honor your body’s needs and energy levels while still moving toward your goals. Perhaps most importantly, sustainable change requires self-compassion and realistic expectations. Life inevitably throws curveballs that disrupt our intentional thought out plans, and learning to adapt rather than abandon our goals is crucial. Many of us struggle with this when we are stuck in fight or flight. We rather give up after one failed attempt then jump back on the train and commit. Think of building healthy habits as a long-term investment in yourself, there will be natural fluctuations, but it’s the overall trend that matters. When you slip up, treat it as valuable feedback rather than failure, adjust your approach if needed, and continue moving forward. This balanced perspective helps create lasting change that enhances rather than overwhelms your life. #firetribe #firetribeofficial #firetribevibes #crps #firetribecommunity #crpsawareness #remissionisreal #healing #healthyhabits #lifechanges #chronicillness #spoonie #chronicpainwarrior #nervoussystem #flexiblenervoussystem #HealingJourney

Gaming before bedtime can significantly disrupt circadian rhythms through exposure to blue light and intense mental stimulation. The bright screens suppress melatonin production while competitive or exciting gameplay triggers the release of cortisol and adrenaline, making it difficult for the body to naturally transition into its sleep cycle. This disruption is particularly problematic during the critical two-hour window before sleep when the body should be naturally winding down. For individuals with nervous system dysfunction, gaming’s impact is often magnified due to their already sensitized stress response system. The combination of visual stimulation, rapid decision-making, and emotional engagement can keep their sympathetic nervous system activated well beyond the gaming session. This prolonged state of arousal makes it especially challenging to engage the parasympathetic nervous system’s rest-and-digest response, potentially leading to sleep onset insomnia and reduced sleep quality. The cumulative effect creates a challenging cycle where disrupted sleep patterns further sensitize the nervous system, making it increasingly difficult to regulate stress responses. Late-night gaming sessions can establish a pattern where the body becomes conditioned to maintain high alertness during natural sleep hours, potentially exacerbating existing nervous system dysregulation and creating a feedback loop of poor sleep and heightened stress responses. #gaming #chronicillness #circadianrhythm #nervoussystem #screentime #bluescreen #parasympathetic #sympatheticnervoussystem #flexiblenervoussystem #firetribe #firetribeofficial #firetribecommunity #healing #HealingJourney #voicesofcrps #firetribevibes
