I’ve been thinking about consistency lately…
and how hard it can feel with migraine.

I just came out of a month-long flare after getting the flu, and it completely disrupted my routine.

Before that, I had been strength training regularly and feeling really good.

But during the flare, that dropped away pretty quickly.

Not because I’m lazy.
Not because I never follow through.

👉 My body just needed something different.

Instead, I kept coming back to:
– yoga nidra
– gentle yoga
– short walks when I could

That was it.

And that was enough.

It’s easy to think consistency means doing the same thing every day.

But with migraine, that often isn’t realistic.

Your energy changes.
Your symptoms change.
What feels supportive one week might feel like too much the next.

👉 So it’s not a discipline issue.
👉 It’s that your body needs flexibility.

If migraine has been interrupting your routines lately, I hope you can be gentle with yourself.

You’re not doing anything wrong—your body is just asking for something different right now.

That’s why support matters more than routines.

Having something you can come back to (no matter how you’re feeling) makes it so much easier to stay connected to your self-care.

Even during a flare.

Can I ask—what do you find hardest to keep up with during a migraine flare?

I’d love to hear your reply.

If you’re looking for simple support on migraine days, you can learn more about the Migraine Self-Care Circle here.

I’ll share more about it in June for Headache and Migraine Awareness Month. 💜

Take care,

Adriane

PS Now that my flare has thankfully passed, I resumed strength training with lighter weights. It wasn’t as hard to get back into as I had feared. Remember, all is not lost when you take a break.
