Anything that we want to achieve in life….getting in better physical condition, losing weight, improving people’s lives by working in a business or profession, changing a lifestyle pattern of behavior like smoking etc….requires that some form of structure be put into place so that a pattern of behavior is done over a period of time Hopefully the change is the pattern of behavior causes the desired change
So for example in the case of chronic disease, specifically the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD/hearburn, and fibromyalgia) in order to cause a physiologic shift toward balance and improvement in your symptoms, you undertake certain things that you think will make a change in your flares
This may be CCF tea or using a Pitta pacifying nutritional format or taking colostrum Whatever the choice(s) are you’re hoping by doing them consistently that they will bring about a change
But let’s face it even with good intentions life goes on and requires our participation and so distractions arise The deadline at work, finishing work projects, the upcoming holidays, getting the right Halloween costume…these sometimes get in the way of our healing intentions
In other words life’s distractions affect how we heal They directly impact our ability to follow through with our intentions to heal
I believe that getting time is a major problem in healing chronic disease Healing parts of the IC bladder pain syndrome is doable but it requires time to do the things necessary and enjoy the process as you go along Healing need not be arduous and painful On the contrary it’s exciting and exhilarating to see your health unfold before your very eyes
In the energy science discipline it’s not just one thing that promotes healing but rather a multiplicity of things that bring about physiologic change This multimodality energy science approach begins with lifestyle measures focused on nutritional formats as discussed in the past but there are other things that can be done to support this approach and laugh as you’re doing it
1 Overcoming inertia is the biggest challenge and keeping up with it is the next biggest hurdle
2 Use a calendar (here’s a downloadable calender you can use on your computer) and mark down what’s needed to create the change that you want to see happen….then check it every day
2 Expect it to be awkward at first…kind of like finding your groove You may forget and that’s what the calendar is for Be easy with yourself and have a good laugh when you see issues that confront you
3 Daily do that activity at specific times of the day marking your items on the calendar
4 The more things you do to effect the change the better the chances of getting the desired result of healing
5 Make it a set of activities A morning routine has a set of things to do and these all work together to set the tone for the day as well as each activity supporting each other
It takes about 6-8 weeks for the change to be made Then you can move on to add more new activities to advance your healing journey
And sometimes it means deleting behaviors that don’t serve us well…..for example going to bed earlier sets up the morning times to do some activities
Having a coach to support and help produce structure is valuable in these efforts You can make an appointment for a free consultation to get started
