Asking Why Not, Instead of Why

Chronic illness has kicked our bums, wiped us out, destroyed our lives, relationships and finances. It is easy to ask “WHY the heck did it happen” and more importantly “WHY did it happen to me.” Very logical and reasonable questions. What about the WHY NOT? Why can I NOT find my way through chronic illness? Why can I NOT see hope? Why can I NOT breakthrough these health barriers? Is this really NOT possible? I actually have the WHY NOT answer and have applied it with victories galore. You too can do this…

I keep telling you, I am not funny. Having fun does not have to be comedic talent. Instead, it can be a willingness to see the humor in tough situations. Y’all are better at this than I ever was. Turn your funny on and let’s ride with it.

When To Push Hard During Chronic Illness

Rarely will I be the one to say that we should push hard, push through, battle, or war, especially during chronic illness. That is too much stress on our physical bodies, too much emotional stress and not enough self-care and it actually sets us back.

Last week I had one of those push-through and push-dang-hard weeks that broke some all-time lingering health barriers.

Slowing our breath, our reactions, our thoughts, our heart rates so that our resting bodies can kick into high gear healing.

Autumn Adaptations For Better Health

Our bodies are healthiest when they have the ability to adapt. During chronic illness, this can become a joke. Everything has become harder.

This is a fun way to challenge our bodies very gently into better health.
