Breakfast

Yesterday, I started my day with my favorite breakfast of the moment: peanut butter and banana on gluten-free toast with freshly pressed green juice. I would honestly eat this breakfast every day if I could! Delish!

While I was eating breakfast, I read this month’s issue of Health and stumbled upon an article called ā€œCan You Think Yourself Well?,ā€Ā which was written by a doctor, who explains how you can use your mind to improve your health and feel better. I really enjoyed reading it, and I could totally relate.

Can you think yourself well?

This is actually a question I’ve been asking myself for many months now. I often get frustrated with my autoimmune disease (why am I not better? why won’t it go away? why won’t my health insurance cover anything?), which often turns into a negative downward spiral. I used to focus a lot of my attention on what UC prevented me from doing, but, in recent months, I’ve really tried to flip my thinking and focus on all of the things I can do and appreciate my health as much as possible. I know there are a lot of people in this world, who are struggling with much worse than me, so I make it a point to feel grateful for all of the things in my life that I am able to do.

ā€œThe body is a mirror of how we live our lives.ā€Ā

Being more positive and grateful for all of the wonderful people and opportunities in my life has also done great things for my mental state. I can’t say my body is healthier or my colon is fully healed, but I feel happierā€ā€ more positive, upbeat, lighter, relaxedā€ā€which is helping me better manage all of the not-so-fun things that go along with UC. I dunno. I guess I’m in a better place now. It took awhile (I really didn’t want to accept that I had a chronic disease), but I’ve come to terms with it, and I am living my life with a much more positive outlook, so, hopefully, it will translate to better health.

Question of the Day

What do you think? Can you think yourself well?

P.S. I heard a rumor there’s a deal for Canyon Ranch Lenox on Ru La La today!
