The Promises You Keep episodes

  • Epilepsy and positive thinking
    We have two choices, to either think positive or negative. Epilepsy is one of those disorders that tends to make us focus on the negative most often with the thoughts of when our next seizure will come along. Or what will those people think of me, or I just don't feel well all the time. The great thing is we have a choice to choose what energy we focus on. Will you allow the what-ifs stop you from being happy, or will you make a choice to focus on the positive amidst the chaos, and allow yourself to have a good day? Ultimately the choice is yours.

  • The Gratitude thing is Everything

    Some of you reading this may think that Gratitude can only be felt when good things happen; on the contrary, Gratitude is most powerful when felt during our darkest moments. In this episode, I talk about gratitude, chronic illness, and the challenges associated with finding gratitude.

  • New thought, New month.
    It's the end of the month, what thoughts will you continue to allow yourself to feel, and to believe as you move forward into the next month?
    You might not feel your best, but that doesn't mean that you don't have the choice to choose how will let it affect you. We can choose to be happy, or sad, angry, or mad, grateful, or ungrateful. Which will you choose?
    Ask yourself this question, and continue to move forward.

  • What are you allowing into your life?
    I often look at my life in a positive light, and this past week is no exception. I had a few rough days, but despite those days, I will promise myself today to continue to move forward. What will you allow into your life today? Will you allow strength, hope, and gratitude? Or pain, sorrow, and suffering? I understand everyone's situation is different, but the choices we make are all the same. bit.ly/promises31

    Our intentions help us to accomplish many things. They either help us to move forward, or to move backwards. On Sunday set your intention to be positive for your Monday, and move forward.

    Creating a daily gratitude practice is key to moving forward when living with a chronic illness. Being grateful for the good and the bad, the big and the small, are ways to help make life a little less difficult.

  • Sunday Scaries: Be here now

    We all want to get things done, and when we live with a chronic illness, we all want the pain to be over, but wishing the time away and wanting these things to happen will not make them happen any quicker. On this Sunday, choose to focus your attention on the joy and peace of today and live here now. Be grateful for each new moment.

    As I mention in my book; Keep on keeping on 31 Days 31 Promises to bring more Love, passion, and hope into your life.  Promise yourself to be grateful for all of the things you have and all of the things you do not have. I will look in the mirror and acknowledge that I am this way for a reason. Life is this way too.
