I, LIKE YOU, HAD NEVER BEEN ENOUGH FOR MYSELF. MY BODY EXPRESSED THIS AT AGE 50 WITH SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS. DEEP INSIDE I WAS SO TIRED OF BEING DRIVEN AND WHEN DIAGNOSED WAS RELIEVED TO HAVE AN EXCUSE TO GET OFF THE MERRY-GO-ROUND. AFTER 5 YRS I AM HAPPY TO BE A MORE REAL ME. IN MAY 09 I DECLARED MYSELF TO RECOVERY. IN JULY 09 I BEGAN AQUAS.
IN OCT 09 I SHARED WITH JOHN COLEMAN MY PROGRESS AND TOOK EVEN MORE SERIOUSLY THE PRACTICE OF SELF-LOVE. IM SEEING TEENY TINY IMPROVEMENTS THAT I ATTRIBUTE TO CHANGED THOUGHT FORMS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I MADE AN APPT TO SEE ABOUT STARTING PD MEDS IN DEC. WHY? BECAUSE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS STICKING TO THE GROUND A LITTLE MORE THAN I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH. I DECIDED TO BE IN A FEAR STATE OVER THIS INSTEAD OF THE IDEA THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS. IT PASSED. IM IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY. IM STILL GOING TO SEE ABOUT MEDS….ALTHOUGH TAKING DOPAMINE CAPSULES HAS HELPED ME I THINK.
I THINK HAVING A MORE RELAXED FORGIVING OF SYMPTOM FLAREUPS IS THE KEY THOUGH. THE OLD FEAR-BASED, DRIVEN, IM NOT ENOUGH EGO, IM REALIZING MAKES SYMPTOMS WORSE THAN THEY WOULD BE OTHERWISE. OLD HABITS DO Not SERVE ME AT ALL…
