Time to Take Back Control
Which do you think is greater?
1- Your body's sickness, dysfunction, and symptoms2- Your body's ability to heal, be healthy, and thrive
If you lean toward 1, there is a problem. A problem that is impeding your healing.
It
is normal to doubt at times if what you're doing is working. Before I
started DNRS, I watched all kinds of overwhelming testimonials, I saw
one of my friends make incredible strides with that program, and I
finally jumped in and almost immediately noticed glimmers of
improvements. And I still had my fletting doubts—doubts that maybe I would be the
exception to the apparent rule or that I wasn't doing the program just
right so it wouldn't work. Even in the face of continual proof otherwise. Passing doubts are
normal.
But
deep down, knowing what you have been through as no one else does—the
symptoms, the trauma, the emergencies, the uncertainties—if all of that
together has left you with the certainty that you are doomed to the
role of a helpless victim struggling along with scars and sickness and
suffering for the rest of your life, that your body is the sworn enemy
and in essence a monster just waiting to strike again without your
consent at any time, and that you are destined to be a warrior constantly at battle with said monster, then we have a problem.
Because that is a lie.
One
of the seeming 6200 things healing has taught me is that I actually am
in charge. I always was; it's just that no one had taught me how to
drive ... or maybe deep down I always knew how but society programmed me
to think this body only ever drives itself, with only doctors sometimes
skilled enough to step in and have a turn.
That's not how it works. Or rather, that's not how it's meant to work.
I
know—I truly know—that when you are sick, the illness is the biggest,
most gut-wrenching, most unpredictable monster there is, eating up your
life one second of misery at a time.
But
when you learn that those symptoms are real but happening because your
brain is literally stuck in the ruts of illness and all there is to do
is work your brain out of those ruts and seize wellness with even more
ownership than you have ever owned sickness ... the monster starts to
shrink. It fades away. Until you think maybe it was just a nightmare.
But one that was real enough to scare you into taking back that driver's
seat.
In
illness and the journey to wellness, emotions are overflowing. And it
is at such times that you must defy what you feel and commit to what you
know. And once you know what you know, what you feel doesn't seem as
huge anymore, because you know better than how you feel. You are
retaking control.
Because health is our default. And it is bigger than sickness.
And
you know what's bigger than both? The God Who crafted the way to wellness. Who asks us to trust and then provides the boat when we
think we're surely sinking. He made our bodies this way—to constantly
strive for wellness. Otherwise none of us would survive the simplest
passing cold or cut.
He's made the way to wellness, and it's in us.
Listen to it. Take back the driver's seat. He knows the way, and He's already programmed you with the directions. Because He knew you would need them.
