...That when i take the time to be still, quiet and in the moment... That in that one still moment i am fully healthy and well, and i allow myself to believe that, fully and feel it no matter what the doctors say (Because sometimes they can tell you that you are well when you are not, and visa versa, but i have learned that they are only human too)... i remind my body this way so that my body knows what i expect, i am learning to trust my body again... Then i work on expanding that one moment to last me the rest of my lifetime...
It is an up and down process though and not infallible but i have learned that true healing is about forgiving ourselves and that regrets will naturally surface... Should i have done this, should i not have done that, should the doctor have known... Would things have then been different for me? Then i remind myself that this is just a part of the healing process, that my body will be the last place to heal and first i need to work with my past feelings about myself... Some things i believe are destiny to take us to where we are now and it's about how we shape the future that counts...

You've been reading my mind. Your attitude is very similar to mine, but it's taken me many years to adopt this philosophy.
We cannot change one second of 'the past'. What we've 'learned' from it may well help us shape our future.
Doctors. A small, very small, percentage of general practioners are exceptional, almost geniuses. 98% are mere mortals, earning a good living after studying at medical college for a few years. Most do their best, but they are only human: subject to human error, reliant on drug company propoganda, constantly trying to keep up with what's happening in the world of medicine.
I give you an A++ for your post!

hello nollyposh - a brave post digging inside your knowing of who you are and who you wish to be. the past is a fruitful source of information that at its best can help clarify the present but it can't make the future. that's the beauty of being human - we make our own future - and what i read here tells me that you are making your future as best you can in a wise and thoughtful way. that's the most generous act of kindness you can gift yourself. have a peaceful day. steven
Wise words, Nolly. They fully capture my own struggles.
And isn't blogging amazing, that I am now able to connect with a woman in far off Australia who speaks to me so directly and has such wisdom to offer.
Healing the mind ... so difficult to do ... wish there was a pill for that too.
Important, hard-won, I'm sure, insights that you share here. I love the suggestion to find what is healthy in your body and expand it further in your body and into the future.
Best, Bonnie
Our bodies are changing in every moment.
And You, Vicki, are healthy and perfect.
this I know.
