The biggest reason that many people keep getting more and more sick is because they are waiting for symptoms to worsen enough after significant damage has occurred to get a diagnosis.
This is actually the opposite of what we should be doing.
It starts with owning your healing journey.
This means reclaiming your identity as more than a diagnosis or set of symptoms.
You are a whole person, worthy of love and belonging.
And you have people in your life who care deeply for you, as you are.
What has helped our species to survive over millions of years is now working against us. The thing is, our bodies will prioritise survival over everything else. We often live in an environment that seems constantly threatening to our immune system. As a result, our bodies are living mostly in a “chronic survival mode”.
Symptoms are our body’s way of sending us messages and letting us know that something is wrong. There is something amiss, some kind of imbalance that needs to be dealt with. It is telling us that we need to take action now so that things don’t become progressively worse.
Whether it’s focusing on foods that are nourishing for your body and removing those which are harmful, incorporating a daily self care routine in your life to deal with stress and working on reducing and removing toxins from your immediate environment, there are many steps that you can take to deal with your autoimmune condition.
By paying attention to what our bodies are trying to tell us (without judgement), we can learn much more than we can ever imagine- indeed, the messages and the mysteries that it holds can be life saving. Unfortunately, most modern societies do not really encourage this.
