ThinkBetter with MS Podcast

In this episode we introduce a new friend and discuss the importance of rewriting your life story. Where you came from and how others may treat you are not the reality of yourself. The power is in each of us to claim control of the narrative and revise, rewrite, and reinvent ourselves, as many times as necessary, to become who we wish to (bee)!

In this episode we reconnect with a good friend of the podcast and MS ambassador Nancy Walker, who previously shared her story in Ep 008: Nancy's MS Story.

We spend some time catching up and discussing a wide array of topics, which is time always well spent.

In this episode we revisit The Ten Facets of Life, a previously discussed model of organizing the various aspects of life, and ways to prioritize and manage them.

It is useful at times to pause and reflect on where we have been to better understand and clarify where we wish to go, often this may require a fresh look at an old idea, and to make the necessary adjustments.

Sometimes the plan may change, but the goal is the same.

In this episode we explore some reasons on why living with a chronic illness can feel isolating, which can compound into an unhealthy mindset. However, we can change that perspective and see the necessity for insulating ourselves from external demands and distractions, instead choosing to view the latter as a protective measure to guard our peace and reserve our energy.

In this episode we introduce a very gallant gentleman to the ThinkBetter family and discuss the ways life can work for us...if we can just let go of control and trust it.

Often, what we spend so much time and effort looking for is actually right in front of us, but we are blind to it, instead focusing on what we think it *should* be.

The real magic is in the spontaneous moments!

In this episode we discuss gaining new perspectives by changing locations. New experiences in life often need to be met where they are by bravely venturing out into the unknown.

Travel lightly by carrying little more than a positive attitude, a beginner's mindset, and a willingness to learn from new experiences.

Book recommendation:

"Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn

In this episode we discuss the importance of taking a step back to evaluate the story that has been written and deciding if it's worth repeating again and again.

Often, what's best is open a new book and begin again with new chapters, new characters, and new perspectives.
