Waking up foggy is often a sign of a cautious timing system. Fast cues help you start the morning; slow cues retrain your rhythm. Knowing the difference changes everything.

Exhausted from tracking doctors, supplements, and symptoms? Here’s why you can stop being the project manager of your healing — and how a gentler, guided approach helps your body reset.

Healing doesn’t always come from doing more; sometimes it comes from doing less, but doing it on purpose. This five-minute practice helps your body downshift from overdrive, signaling safety to the nervous system and giving your energy a chance to reset.

If you’re living with Long COVID, you’ve probably asked yourself: Why do my symptoms feel so random? One day it’s a pounding headache. The next it’s brain fog so heavy you can’t finish a sentence. It feels unpredictable, like your body is pulling symptoms out of a hat. Here’s the truth: your symptoms aren’t random, and they’re not your fault.

You’ve canceled plans, gone to bed early, slept late … and you still wake up tired. It’s not laziness or lack of willpower. When your body’s nervous system gets stuck in overdrive after illness or stress, “rest” doesn’t actually register. The body is trying to protect you, not restore you. It helps when you can understand that exhaustion is a signal, not a failure.
