Health Action Plan
Facing a serious health challenge?
If you are in a quandary about what to do regarding your own health problem, I have some understanding of how frightening and daunting it can be. Here i provide you with a plan of action for you to take back control of your life and your body with the ultimate goal of healing your life.
Obviously the first thing to do is get a proper diagnosis by visiting your doctor and then an appropriate consultant/specialist.
Knowledge really is power, so read and research as much as you can yourself so that you fully understand your condition and diagnosis and can ask relevant questions as well as understand the answers. Whilst doctors have a good deal of knowledge and experience, they cannot possibly keep up to date with new medical developments in procedures and treatments and tend to stick to what they know of old. There are some wonderful healthcare professionals around but likewise there are many who do not see patients as whole people but rather as symptoms to be treated or bits to be removed.
Your Basic Plan for Health
- See your doctor for diagnosis and advice
- Get referred to an appropriate consultant/specialist as soon as possible (if you can manage it then pay to have an appointment sooner)
- Read and research as much as you can about your condition and the various treatments
- Start making changes to diet and lifestyle to assist your healing
- Positive thoughts about your own healing and situation are key, use affirmations to support yourself.
- Keep an open mind, depending on the seriousness of your condition, consider allowing your body time to heal itself whilst still being in contact with your doctor/consultant. If necessary, have surgery then prepare for a positive outcome and work on self healing before, during and afterwards.
- Meditation, relaxation and deep breathing are extremely beneficial. Join a group, take up pilates, yoga or use meditation CDs if you find it difficult.
- Find a good Nutritionist, Reflexologist, Aroma-therapist, Shiatsu or other alternative practitioner and have regular appointments. There are many alternative therapies that you could try. Any time taken purely for your own care will pay you back with increasing feelings of well-being.
- Learn to see yourself as whole and healthy, bringing together all facets of self - mind, body, spirit and emotions, rather than just a physical condition. For complete healing to take place requires work on all four aspects of self.
- Use the complete process in "Healing Inside Out" Book & CD to clear out old hurt, anger and other emotions (possibly held sub consciously) that have contributed to your health condition and keep you stuck.
