Real Magic for us with RSD!

When disaster strikes, there are no magic words that will make everything all right. For if there were, life would necessarily have to be unbearably empty and shallow in order to accommodate them.

What there is, is the opportunity and the obligation to love as you never have before. What there is, is the stimulus to take life to a higher level.

In your moments of most profound challenge, you are left with only what truly matters. And that is a powerful place to be.

When you are forced to experience life at its worst, it compels you to be your best. You must call upon a level of strength you never before knew was there.

And then, you begin to work through it. As you choose to move forward, life takes on greater, more profound meaning.

Choose to love, and choose to live. That is what you can do, and that is where the real magic will happen.

RSD Tip Of The Day!

Help 'YOU' Feel Better!

When you are feeling down, focus your thoughts on this question:

"What can I do that would help me feel better?"

Instead of filling your mind with doubt, self-pity, resentment, regret, and despair, fill it with thoughts and plans for moving positively forward. There is something that will take your focus off of whatever has already happened and direct your thoughts firmly towards the best of what can be.

Pay no attention to how you are suppose to feel or how you expected to feel. Decide for yourself how good you would like to feel, and then take the steps that will get you there.

It will likely be much easier than you think. Then once you choose to feel better, it quickly begins to happen. It sounds too simple to be true, I know, but it works with surprising and delightful effectiveness. When you decide to help yourself feel better....you will!!

So, What can you do that will help you feel better? You are just moments away from making it happen!

"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under it's roof!"
~Barbara Kingsolver

Tomorrow I will start posting bits of information for those of us who are living with RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) and for those who are our caregivers to better understand some of what we go through every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day!! Hopefully I won't scare too many people away, but if I do, I do apologize, but.....it is our daily life and needs to be heard!!
