By Patricia Miller of Imagine A World I recently read somewhere that we think approximately 50,000 thoughts in an average day. I like to gently challenge myself daily to choose my thoughts consciously in order that I make the best of those 50,000 opportunities. Much like you, I do this because I recognize that I have to create a life that fulfills me and others. When I work with people that are living with a chronic disease, I invite them to begin the process of thinking about how they want to live their life. A lot of the time when people are in the midst of dealing with a chronic disease, they feel challenged to find meaning in their life beyond the meaning that the disease gives to them. I invite them into a dance that evokes the person to think about meaning in their life that goes beyond the disease itself and meets the higher self, their soul, intuition and the deeper meaning of life as a whole. What they are doing is changing their thoughts. Many great authors are currently speaking about the power of our thoughts. Can our thoughts really change our life? Or are we at the mercy of our human experience? I find that the more I explore life through working with people living with chronic disease, I better understand that our thoughts do have the power to change how we might think and feel about our current situation and our future. This does not necessarily change the circumstance of our existence but what it seems to help us do as humans is rewrite our expression of the human experience. If we take a moment to be conscious of our thought patterns and how we construct the stories of our experience, we may find windows of opportunity to rewrite how we think about our world and in turn, feel about our day to day existence. I encourage you to think of one thing that has brought you joy. I ask you to stretch that one thing that you can think about into an action that can be taken in order that you can experience moments of the self-expression of joy. By doing this, you will then find ways to creatively construct thoughts that allows you to dance a new thought dance and journey back to physical, emotional, spiritual wholeness. See life as a series of challenges that invite you to think, experience and, in turn, feel your birthright of contentment and wellness. Namaste!
