I’ve been living with CFS for years and honestly I used to think improvement would only come from some groundbreaking treatment or huge lifestyle overhaul. But weirdly enough one of the biggest changes for me was switching my bedroom curtains.

I swapped my old thin blinds for blackout curtains on a whim thinking they might help me sleep in a bit more on crash days. Turns out that one tiny change completely improved the quality of my rest. I’m still dealing with fatigue of course but I wake up feeling less like I’ve been hit by a truck. It wasn’t something a doctor suggested and it wasn’t part of some master plan. Just a small random tweak that ended up making my day to day a little more manageable. It really made me rethink how many “little” things I might be overlooking. Not everything has to be an expensive supplement or complex treatment to matter.

So now I’m curious what’s your small but mighty change? Could be anything a habit, a random household swap, a mindset shift whatever ended up helping you in ways you didn’t expect.
