Staying Healthy

We tend to ignore our bodies most of the time and then, when ill, focus on the disease.  But we have a choice.  We can see illness as a curse, or we can see illness as the path our bodies are taking us to health.  We can be angry with our bodies for failing us, or we can listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

We need to make sure we’re making the choice that is right for us.  We need to make sure we aren’t being negatively pressured by the huge weight of the existing medical extablishment.  Because we do have the option to focus on our health, not just our disease.  We can see illness as our body’s way of telling us what we need to do now to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.

Affirmation: I choose health and healing.  My illnesses are like signposts that keep me moving in the right direction.
