Having a Positive Attitude while living with Chronic Illness

-

 Easier said than Done!! Not an easy thing to do, especially when dealing with our emotions. Any negative feeling that causes us to become tense or stressed out, sad, depressed, etc., can affect our illness. Have you ever been uncomfortable in your own body? Many chronic illness warriors don't even remember what it feels like to be pain free. This is why it is imperative to see the positive in all things. It may require you updating your circle to one more suitable to the person you have become, to only include those that enhance your life or give back to you so you are not being drained. Developing a closer relationship with the Most High has helped me tremendously to recover in every aspect, that is my source. Something else to consider when attempting to see the good in life is music, inspirational music specifically is what helped me to stay optimistic. Music can be very therapeutic, soothing, relaxing, all depending on your choice of music. On inclement weather days, self care, and lots of self love should be the objective, I don't know about you but on bad weather days my pain intensified and was unbearable. Spending time doing things that made me feel good helped, like watching my favorite movie, getting a massage, taking a long hot shower with my favorite scented soap, down to  taking the time to change the way I see things, and processing situations from the past as learning experiences. Helping others also rewards you with a great feelings of happiness and accomplishment, that may be something that will work for you. Overall, having an optimistic mindset is a beneficial factor on your journey to wellness. Do what works for you!!

Heal Your Trauma

     I realize most people are living from a place of unhealed emotional trauma, they say everyone has a story basically saying we have all been through something. I'm not sure how the mental state of people around the world was prior to the George Floyd (R.I.P) broadcast but I know for certain they way they played that unbelievable crime on repeat everyone who saw it was traumatized. Emotional traumas or adverse experiences have to be addressed there is no way around it. I test dummied myself to find out that communication is very, very important, and whatever you don't deal with/talk about, will deal with you at a time you least expect. In my case as a child growing up to a teen and then adulthood I have experienced or have witnessed various traumatic experiences which brought me to complex trauma/ survival mode state of being. I had to check myself to get to the root of what my problem was, there was something keeping me from moving forward in life. I had to become intention
