Managing chronic conditions can be exhausting, frustrating, and leave us wishing for an improved state of health we may never achieve. Have you found yourself searching for a ‘cure-all’ or magic pill? I know that I have. Coming to terms with my own chronic conditions has been challenging. There have been many days I wish I could run away from aches, pains, and limitations. Though I realize I cannot turn back the clock and restore bone that collapsed, or heal parts of my endocrine system that now need help to function. Focusing on the things I can do is how I find motivation to manage my health on a daily basis.
Lifestyle has a tremendous impact on managing chronic conditions.
Invest is your health by exercising regularly (by moving safely and however you are able), eating well, and getting adequate rest…our bodies adore consistency. Those magic pills dangled before us by marketers and scam artists can be a panacea or a poison whether they are pharmaceutical or recreational. Research, question, and be cautious.
Conversely, if you choose to live on the wild side using nicotine, abusing alcohol, and overeating, simply accept the consequences and risks of your behaviors. Sometimes feeling unwell is self-inflicted.
