When a person deals with accepting their illness, the first thing they have to consider is what part of them is doing the acceptance. Their illness is a major issue, but how it is accepted is your most important concern. I will use the analogy of moving to show you what is involved in accepting your situation. I recently moved from blocks from the beach in Santa Monica California to downtown Ann Arbor Michigan. How I adapted there is like how we need to accept a health challenge. This Blog allows you to step back and study what helps acceptance.
Ann Arbor is a beautiful city in a very conscious community, but the adjustment for where I was living was a shock to my system. The only way I was able to accept this was on a spiritual level. I had personal reasons for moving because of family and health; but internally this was a real test.
I started writing my book “A Healthy way to be Sick” when I first got here and that started changing my perspective. Moving is like learning to adapt to a new environment. Being sick is the same.
How you deal with your environment if you move determines if you would be accepted or not. If you are able to let go of the past allows you to be in the moment. How you accept yourself really determines your life in the new city.
Now accepting an illness is like moving to a new city…that city is now your body. How you deal with your environment-your body-determines how you accept the illness. If you are able to let go of the past and be in the moment; you will accept your illness from a depth of inner wisdom. How you accept yourself determines the quality of life as you deal with your illness.
Basically who is sick determines the quality you have in how you accept your health challenge. Isn’t it the same as moving to a new city?
