smileymom's Journal

Who said you can't live a full life inspite of Fibro? 

 Who made up the "rules" of living with it? Who is telling you that your life sucks? Chances are someone else and you've agreed because they are an "expert". Wellllll...........I decided to make a different choice several months ago. My objective here is not to offend people, so if you are offended already, then quit reading the journal, it's that simple. Life is pretty simple when you know how it works.  I have made the choice to listen to my emotions, my inner guidance, and honor my body quirks and all. It's made wonderfully, creatively and uniquely. I have decided to trust that God and I cocreate my life for a positive experience. There is a reason I was blessed to be given this life on earth. I am determined to live it up, baby. On the days when pain is kicking my butt, I decide to go inside, dig around for any feelings, issues or people I am not coping with, meditate, relax. I may just need the rest.  I have accepted that I have an invisible friend named Fibro. She has her own mind, spirit, and personality. I have decided to meet her as my friend and teacher instead of my enemy. She does teach me alot about compassion, others pain, and healing. She has healed me from so many different things. You know what, when I accept her for who she is and all she has to offer, stay focused on all the other things going right in my experience, look for the beauty in life and choose to look for what I want to attract, what I want more of, the pain seems to not be there as much. I am down to two pain pills a day. I was taking four. Huge improvement. I am able to exercise for 20 minutes a day now without stopping. I started out at 5. I am gaining the taste for water, pure and flavored instead of soda. I am eating better. I sleep wonderfully at night. I have been revved up and ready to greet the day for weeks. I am so happy and proud of the journey. I just wanted to encourage you to hold your head high, listen to yourself, let go of the negative. Embrace the positive. It heals. It really does. Dare to be different and create the experience YOU want. 

With much love and respect to my Fibro Friends,
