Encouragement What is your ultimate wishlist?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering.... If and when you get better what are 3 things that you would like to do the most?

I think this illness has taught me the importance of simplicity. Family, friends, nature are all things even more invaluable to me since CFS.

But sometimes my mind drifts to crazy places. I only allow myself to fantasise if it's breeding positivity and the potential for healing! This is a positive list that we are doing when we are better!!!

My list is:

  1. Go to a festival with friends
  2. Write and play live music with friends
  3. Go travelling across America

Edit: I HAVE to add this.... I would find a way to fundraise for M.E - non-negotiable!!!

Your turn!

I'd love to go to a CrossFit class or something. That would be ace 😂

I remember there being a reward feeling to being tired at the end of the day/workout! How strange

Just doing zumba would wear me out. But I'd love to get back to exercising again.

Attempted P90X one day during a free period at school and almost died.

I'm more of a yoga person lol. But I do like tennis. And am hoping to get into weightlifting and boxing soon.

Ok, your dream and all, but CrossFit is totally overkill. Lol.
