Final reflection: A peek into a new book.
IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME before I started on my journey of exploration, understanding and healing you may feel as though everything is stacked against you. You may feel as though life likes to kick you while you’re down. Every time you finish crawling out of one colossal screw up in your life you fall back into another pot hole or even worse a land mine. You may be drowning in self pity, depression, anxiety, grief, illness, the list can go on. Possibly you have entertained psychiatrists, psychologists, medical doctors, even tried prescription drugs but nothing works. Self medicating is another option some people choose. However none of it has worked, or if it has, it has not completely resolved the issues you are battling.
This is where I used to be myself, I was lost and confused, I tried everything under the sun but still felt empty inside. At only eighteen years old I was diagnosed with an incurable illness and told that most likely I wouldn’t live to see twenty five. I have had to endure loss, abuse, emotional turmoil, and learn to understand how to accept myself, and the issues that I unknowingly was bringing into my life. The pool of self pity that I woke up in each morning was so deep that no one could reach me to pull me out. Until one day while I was at work, my mind and body gave out on me and I could no longer accept my reality. I had to find a way to change it or die. Those were my options. So I decided to change it, this book will bring you down the road I traveled to get to where I am today.
This book will go into detail about how you are in complete control of your destiny, emotional health, physical pain, illnesses, energies, experiences and your reality. We will explore different healing modalities and how they can help you achieve your desired state. We will hold ourselves accountable for every pot hole, land mine, victory, and gift that we experience in our lives.
We are going to look at the foundation blocks that were laid for us to live by and why they may not be as solid as they need to be, to help you through the different experiences you will face in this life. We will grow an understanding of how your past experiences affect your present and future. Together we will discover all of the emotional wounds that you have taken on through this life and how they may not have been properly addressed and healed. When you view yourself as a victim you will always attract the energy of a victim. When you see yourself as not being strong you will always find yourself in a situation where you are not strong enough. When you change your perspective and learn from your past, you will shed the skin that you are currently in and become a survivor, a warrior, an overcomer.
