“When I accepted “illness” as my chosen paradigm I was rendered a slave, to my genes and my biology. I believed that I was somehow “broken”, that my “personality” was “set” and unchangeable. I became dependent on people places and things outside of myself to make me feel “ok” and to manage “me” and all that encompasses being “me”…my thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I ceased to exist as a “being” when I accepted “diagnosis”. I became helpless when I accepted “illness” and I became hopeless when I believed there was no solution to be had.
Until I chose to create my own paradigm of “wellness”.
