Overcoming Sickness with the power of the mind

I feel very strongly that there are many people out there that get frustrated because they can't find answers to their health problems. I don't know how many times I wished that there was a Dr.House that could figure me out. I even wrote Oprah to see if she would have Dr.Oz give me some advise. My health was at a low point in January and February of this year. I didn't know how it could get better.

I am a firm believer that what you think about and dream about will have a direct impact on your life experiences. There was a good quote from The Secret that I just simplified in my own words. I have always been into books that talk about making any goal a reality. In high school I wanted a specific time on my cross country race so I put up my goal all over my bedroom and guess what I got the time I imagined.

While I was sick my father told me to say to myself each morning,"Each and every day, I feel better and better in every way." Well I have been doing this for 6 weeks now and I feel like a new person. I have not had one episode in 6 weeks. Now there have been times when I am tired and my body might want to go into an episode and I just tell myself that I will be all right. This will pass and it always does. It is important that we look for the good not the bad. I am amazed that with prayer, God, and my mind I am at where I am today. If I continued to tell myself. "I don't feel good. I am scared. blah, blah, blah." I know that I would be even sicker. I am grateful for knowing that through Christ I can do anything. I am grateful this Easter Sunday for the knowledge that our Christ lives and we can be with him again someday.

Make it a great day. Remember, to look on the bright side of things and you can overcome the hardest trials.
