Two things I've learnt in healing ME

What was I diagnosed with.......nothing really.
Yes my thyroid test showed I was out of balance, I had gallstones and my CK enzyme test was high.
CT scans, MRI, blood tests and ultra scan results  always said the same thing,
CONCLUSION - Normal

How did I feel?
Like crap, with a list of symptoms to fill up an A4 page. Some being exhaustion, weight gain, unmotivated, foggy brain, 2 hour sleep a night, beginnings of a cataract, and niggly  side pain.
As I said there was nothing majorly wrong.
Maybe its just part of getting older?

BUT this is NOT normal.

This is not how we need to live our daily lives just because it is showing as NORMAL.
Sadly it's become normal to drag ourselves out of bed each day. To put one foot in front of another to get through and to collapse at the end of the day exhausted.  Its become so automatic to live our life like this that at times we don't even notice how life has become.

I believe that wellness and healing comes in many shapes and forms that can look like exercise, healthy eating, changing mindset, resolving emotional issues, time out and doing what you love most.
I specialise in changing mindset and releasing emotions so that is one of the first things I work with.  
MINDSET is the KEY to CHANGE
What have I learn't from looking deep into how we think?

• Struggle is common.
• Hating ourself is easy and automatic.
• What we allow others to see can be the furtherest from the truth of what's happening inside.
• Rejection hurts so deeply, its hard to venture out again.
• We make up a story about ourselves like, 'Im not good enough' or 'Im unloveable', to keep ourselves safe.

Our thoughts will stop all healing if they are working against us. We have over 50000 thoughts in a day, which means over 35 thoughts per minute, so its important to have them as your friend and on our side supporting us.  

FOOD as LOVE
Food is an important fuel for our body.  It is a way to nourish and nurture our body.  Its a form of giving love back to ourselves.  
"Nutrients are the nourishing substances in food that are essential for the growth, development and maintenance of body functions."
- Perspectives in Nutrition, Wardlow and Insel

In other words, nutrients give our bodies instructions about how to function.  Its information for the body.  Instead of viewing food as the enemy, w can look to food as a way to create health and reduce disease by helping the body maintain function.
If there was no such thing as disease just dysfunction, imagine how we could look towards food, health and our bodies quite differently.  
I have been most grateful to Morley Robbins, the founder of The Magnesium Advocacy Group and the Root Cause Protocol for all his long hours of research into what is at the base of all dysfunction in our bodies.  
What have I learn't from doing the Root Cause Protocol?

• Make it simple.
• Its important to really listen to our bodies....they are always talking via aches, pains and emotions.
• When we get to the root cause, we heal.
• Trust, trust and trust what you are doing is right for us.

The two things I have learn't is BEIEVE IN YOURSELF.
When we get to the end of this life, whether you are a cleaner, truck driver or CEO  you will lay to rest beside each other.  There is no status, we are all the same. No matter what you do believe it is right for you, we do not need to satisfy anyone else's dreams or desires. Believe in yourself because you exist.
LOVE YOURSELF, yes thats right, love yourself.  Go for a walk because you love yourself enough to just do it, not because someone says its good for your health, or it will make you fit.   Take a job because it fulfils you, take a holiday because you just want to spend time with loved ones or because you want to have a break for you, not because you've heard, if I work hard I need to have a break, DO IT JUST BECAUSE YOU VALUE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO DO IT!

Start making NORMAL look how you wish it to look.
Thanks for listening.
