Do You Own a Disease?

I often hear people say, “I have diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, etc., etc., etc. It runs in my family.” Or, “my doctor said my numbers are high, low, whatever, so I have pre-____.” “My mother, father, brother, sister, has it, so I’m sure I’ll have it as well.” “I’m old, so I’m ill.”
If you have said any of these things, I want you to consider stopping this dialogue right now!
Don’t own your diagnosis. Just because a health issue runs in your family DOES NOT mean you will suffer from it. And, if you’ve been diagnosed with a health issue, you CAN make it better and reclaim your health!
Experts say, and I truly believe them, when we believe we are ill, we will become ill. It’s like the placebo effect that I’m sure you’ve heard of. If we think we are given a substance that will take away our pain, side effects, etc., we believe it will. Our brains are powerful, and if we think more positively about our health and vitality, we can improve our health and vitality.
In addition, the current science believes genetics can be turned on or off. Think of your lawn as your gene pool. If you nourish your lawn and feed it good, clean water and good food, it will grow beautifully. If you ignore it and let it wither, weeds will grow and will overtake your healthy lawn. Think of your body as your lawn, and take care of it.
When faced with a medical diagnosis, don’t own it! Work to be rid of it!
How, you ask?
Try a few of these ideas:
- Eat well. Nourish your body. Cook more often. Eat good, clean proteins and good clean fats. Eat lots of veggies and fruits. And, eat slowly and enjoy your food.
- Stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water – you’ve read this here before – but drink half your body weight in water every day.
- M-o-v-e. Get up from your desk. Get out of your car. Walk, take the steps, stand up. Go to the gym, or walk in your neighborhood. Just get moving.
- Think positively. Develop some affirmations and say them every day! Things like:
- I am making good choices today!
- I feel great!
- I’m moving and shaking and my body loves it!
- I am healthy and loving it!
And, if you need some help with these ideas, give us a call! At Full Circle Vitality, we believe in the power of positive thinking and the effect it has on your brain and body. We can help you dis-own that diagnosis and regain your health and vitality!
