Say "NO!" to Lupus

Are you passive about your health condition?
Do you leave everything up to your doctor?
Do you feel hopeless because there is nothing that can be done about your disease?
Do you settle for less - in any way?
Do you get lazy?
Do you procrastinate?
Do you keep doing things you know will cause you pain?

Well, as the saying goes, "If you keep doing the same things, you'll keep getting the same results".

Over and over again I would find myself being passive about my condition - leaving everything up to my doctor. I'd experience bouts of hopelessness - that there was no way out of my agony. Nothing I tried worked, and as everyone in the medical profession told me I was stuck with this incurable disease, I often gave in to despair. And when I felt hopeless I became lazy - why bother?

I'd procrastinate and dither and waiver. It got to the point at times when the pain was easier to handle than having to face up to making the changes I knew would help lessen the pain. There were times when I would have a couple or more glasses of wine of an evening, knowing that a few hours later I would pay the price of increased pain. I was willing to do that. In fact, it has only been in the past 18 months that I have given up the acid results of alcohol altogether.

I was so resistant to a regular workout routine that I would become foggy and sleepy, rather than get off my behind and move. I would often find the easy way out and have a wonderfully convincing excuse.

I was ignoring the quiet scream for change that was coming from my own body. And then I finally just surrendered to that scream - I finally admitted to myself that I was making the choices that kept me in pain - that I was accepting that it was OK to slowly die rather than be full out alive and thrive. And guess what? Slowly and steadily I began my transformation from a victim to a person becoming responsible and in charge of what happened to me.

Slowly I walked out of my own prison of disease. Once I realized that it was me, not some genetics, not my father, not my husband, not some one-time friend who was to blame, or the weather or some pesticide then WOW, I could begin to take charge and undo the unhealthy lifestyle and thinking patterns.

Being real with yourself can sometimes be real uncomfortable. I know, I have had to be real about so much in order to free myself. And my mind can be so slippery - I can talk my way into or out of anything. I really have to watch myself that way. But my body never lies. And nor does yours.

Begin to pay attention to what your body is telling you. It can be drowned out oftentimes by the cunning, knowledge-packed, pattern-packed, habit-packed mind. But deep down inside you is that persistent whisper. Listen . . . and take action. Your body wants to live. Listen. You have an amazing health system right within your own body. Listen to it. Tap into it. Let it do its miracles.

Put your knowledge of what's impossible to one side. Begin to feel and see and experience a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep putting one foot ahead of the other until you are out the other side and freed up from your own hell.

There is a way out.
