BE YOUR OWN MIRACLE

You can be a victim of cancer, or a survivor of cancer. It's a mindset. –Dave Pelzer Your mind is the trojan horse. It can easily bring you down or lift you up. We always have a choice. Even in the depths of what feels like disaster. It is stronger and more powerful than you can ever possibly imagine. The well-renowned saying, “whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right” is so true. I chose every day to say I CAN. I WILL. AND I AM – healing. Once you have mastered this, you will understand you are more powerful than you know. You are more resilient. You are a warrior. You have everything in you to overcome your battles. There is so much inner strength inside of you. But it all starts in the mind. Remember what I said earlier, when you feel you are at breaking point and say you cannot go on, you are in fact only using about 40% of your actual inner mental strength. If you truly knew just how much determination and infinite power you have on the inside it would literally AMAZE you! Anchor these words deep in your soul. Allow them to set off a spark that ignites into a flame and then into a raging inferno of self-assuredness that YOU CAN DO THIS, and YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS! Whatever “this” is. Nothing will show you just how much you are capable of until you face a major health crisis, life adversity, loss of a job/partner/finances or death, head on especially, and usually, when it comes without warning. It is only in these moments of major personal crisis that you truly understand the depth of this strength and your capacity to handle them. For me, I just kept making it a priority to strengthen my mindset. To address any old fear based and limiting programming running on loop. I made the INTENTION, the commitment, to accomplishing my goal. Intention is not wishing and hoping – it is the pure determination to CREATE the desired outcome. It is the dominant use of your WILL. And we all have FREE will. So, again, in each moment, YOU get to CHOOSE where your intention and WILL goes. How did I keep myself mentally strong, fueled with faith and focused on healing? I listened to countless You Tube videos on mindset, not quitting, strengthening my faith, moving forward, and moving through adversity. There are literally hundreds of free videos that require zero monetary investment but will lift, inspire, encourage, and motivate you – no matter what you are facing or FEELING in this moment. I did whatever I could to reprogram and FEED my mind with words of strength, resilience, grit, determination, faith and an unquestionable deep seeded belief that God had my back (and still does), and is always in control. ALWAYS. No matter what. I have not once since then, made it through a day without listening to at least one podcast, one video, one post that does not reinforce all these empowering qualities deep into my cellular being. It is non-negotiable. Just like an exercise routine. You can get fit, lose weight, build muscle, but if you stop, your body will eventually lose what you have worked so hard to achieve. The same principle applies to our mental health. Over time, bad habits, old thought patterns can creep back in. It has become almost a mantra for me to feed my mind like I feed my body. I had made it a routine to go to the gym for decades to strengthen my body and train to feel good, for maximum health benefits, yet I did not have a regular routine for my mind. I fed it all kinds of daily rubbish. I look back at times to what I would now describe as a waste disposal of negative news, pointless tv shows, regurgitating work and relationship issues - and vice versa, listening to and absorbing others daily frustrations, family obligations and more, with a mindset all subconsciously anchored by (predominantly) inherited and learned childhood beliefs, patterns and programs. When the lightbulb literally turned on, I was angry at myself that I hadn’t figured it out sooner – but it’s not about blaming or punishing – it is about GROWTH. And that will happen when you are ready to face your inner shit once and for all. Not a day sooner. So true to the Law of Attraction, what I was listening to, thinking about, adding energy to, and subconsciously running deep in my mind, I was bringing about in the 3D. Of course, we are all human, and we cannot exist only in the light and fluffiness of constant positivity. We need both the shadow side and light side for polarity, and balance. This is life. If we don’t experience the contrast, we won’t know what we truly DO want to have or create. It is, however, what you CONSISTENTLY think about and speak about, who you surround yourself with, as well as what you are watching, reading and listening to, that CREATES what will show up in your vortex and daily reality. And let’s just dial up the intensity of the reverberations of any emotional charge attached to those scenarios that are sent out like shockwaves into the universal vortex. Like arguments, relationship breakdowns, the loss of loved ones, job stresses - so true to the Universal Laws of attraction and manifestation, this is why much of our negativity, especially long term, can and will manifest in the body also. The mind manifests. The body listens. And so it is. In my case, literally.
