yo yo healing ness
in first hand ‘learning’ that healing takes a while (in sea world) i googled:
is there a name for the yo yo cycle you go thru in healing from doing too much on good days and spiraling back to bad days
and got:
Yes, this phenomenon is widely known as the boom-and-bust cycle (or the push-and-crash cycle). It is an extremely common pattern when healing from chronic pain, chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), or any long-term injury.
Why It Happens
- The “Boom”: You have a good day where you feel energized and pain-free, so you try to “catch up” on everything you’ve been missing.
- The “Bust”: The overexertion goes beyond your body’s actual capacity, triggering a severe symptom flare-up that forces you to rest for days or weeks.
- The Yo-Yo: The cycle repeats itself over and over, preventing your baseline from improving and often lowering your tolerance for activity over time.
aka: the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world
my spiel for this/everything:
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
note: on survival ness: survival is a means to survive things as they are.. so to me.. not a legit alt.. it’s triage.. perpetuating survival triage.. so a temp band aide per se.. that will /can help now.. but only for short term.. because it still doesn’t get to the root of the problem.. so it won’t offer/lead-to legit change/life/freedom.. et al.. so.. to me.. it’s still a cancerous distraction to the dance
what we need most is the energy of 8b alive people
humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance
we keep disturbing the ecosystem because we can’t seem to let go enough to see/try the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
and so.. we need most/1st: means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening – so we can hear what’s already on each heart as global detox in order to org around legit needs

i think this is one of our most dangerous/cancerous distractions.. because we have ‘proof‘ that healing from anything.. (addiction, trauma, chronic health, whatever, all the hari present in society law ness) takes a while.. takes a lot of work.. so we never see/try the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen and so desperately need:
the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
and too.. it’s not safe to try/see it (costello screen\service law et al) until it’s all of us..
what has led me to warning ness et al
