Steps

    1
    Choose health. Make the decision that you truly want to get well and recover. This is very critical. Usually most patients focus on not wanting to be sick, rather than getting well. And there’s an important difference. If you focus on your health, you are literally activating your cells and organs that will help you to get well faster. Your intention to get well, assists your body in ways that modern medicine is finally beginning to acknowledge.
    2
    Ignore all dire predictions . Doctors are taught to use statistics — the experiences of others as predictors of how a patient will or will not improve. But those statistics don’t have to be your statistic! They are also trained not to give patients a sense of , “false hope.” Of course, such bleak predictions will have a very negative impact on recovery and health. Use them as a catalyst, as a challenge to overcome whatever disease you are facing. Despite the odds, others have lived and you can, too!
    3
    Pay attention to your emotions. Honestly assess your thoughts, feelings, and allow them. We cause ourselves much suffering when we resist our true emotional indicators. How do you truly feel about your illness? Has it cause you to become fearful, anxious, depressed, upset, and wanting to deny it’s presence? That’s completely normal and understandable. All of these emotions can be a part of your journey to health. Acknowledge them. Most people can work your way through all of them, with gentle awareness and patience.
