A little over a year ago I had an awakening. I realized I had the power to calm and heal my mind, even if I couldn't control what was happening to my body. I've talked about this before in different ways including recognizing sources of healing around us, how mindfulness helped me heal, and mindfulness and mobile apps.
It's difficult for healthy people to understand the challenges chronic illness brings until it gets personal. Chronic illness can drastically alter your daily routines and chronic pain can test the will of the strongest person. It brings with it overwhelming emotions, self defeating thoughts, crippling pain, daily heart ache, and so much more.
Sometimes life throws us a curve ball. For some, one curve ball after another seems to come their direction. That's me. Maybe it was my happy childhood that led me to believe that life was going to be easy. Maybe it was that I'd never really known pain up close and personal. No obstacle was too big to overcome. Life was beautiful and full of opportunities.
Living and coping with chronic illness can be difficult. It often requires stressful changes to your life and the lives of family members closest to you. Fortunately, there are a few tried and true steps for healing well with chronic illness that can make coping easier and your life more fulfilling. I hope these admonitions for healing help you as much as they've helped me.
