How I did it: I stretched and relaxed and massaged and changed my diet and changed my outlook and my personality and stopped resenting and stretched some more.  I tried probiotics and guaifenesin and coconut oil and valerian root and acupuncture and massage and self trigger point therapy and inversion tables and magnesium and yoga. 

I did a lot of things, and all of them helped in some way - even if the help was just a realization that 'no, this isn't what I need' or a bridge between two pieces of knowledge.

I learned to trust that my body knew what it needed.  I started to try to 'tune in' to my body on a regular basis.  I started to consider a feeling of interest in something as a genuine sign that it would be helpful for me in some way.

 

Lessons & tips: believe that your body can heal itself, and all you need to do is provide an environment that facilitates healing.
