What is Conscious Language and What Does It Have to do with Your Health?

I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it - mindset is a KEY to any healing journey, Lyme disease included. 


Conscious language is a piece of the "mindset healing pie." It is using your words (and thoughts) wisely.


Read on to find out practical steps for applying conscious language to your life and healing journey right now!

You Are Not Your Illness

You Are Not Your Illness

Wellness starts with your WORDS. With what you believe, and how you speak over yourself.


It’s far too easy to hear and believe lies about who we are. We are often told who we are without us even realizing it, and without it even being true. Other people tell us who we are. We tell ourselves who we are. And by the way, this goes for Lyme-ys and non-Lyme-ys alike. 


But I don’t believe for a second that we were put on this earth to be mediocre. Nor is any illness, struggle, or personality type the definition of who we are. I hope today I will help you see your value, my friend. Start speaking life into yourself, and then into those around you too. Because, this, my friends, is a HUGE piece of healing and thriving. 


In case no one has told you this: YOU ARE NOT LYME DISEASE. You are not a chronic illness. You are not doomed. Those factors in your life that intermingle with your being are not what define you. No medical diagnosis is YOU. No trauma is YOU. No person’s perception of you is actually YOU.


You are defined by YOU. You are light and love. You are hope and truth. These things are IN you already, and there for you to access all day, every day. If your mindset flows to what you lack, negative self-talk, illness, and lies about who you “are,” then you will manifest negativity, dis-ease, lack, and lies instead of manifesting your highest version of yourself, healing, and ultimately truth. 


Our words and our thoughts have power in our lives. And if we’ve heard, accepted, and spoken over ourselves mostly negative, destructive lies, then we have to work even harder to fight back against them and shine our light right through them. 


It’s up to US to change the script. Every person can be a change agent fighting against flawed mindset. Fighting for truth. Is it hard? Oh absolutely - some days are definitely harder than others when you may already not be feeling well physically, mentally, or emotionally. But it’s also never not worth it. 


Our kids deserve it. Our friends and family deserve it. WE DESERVE IT. Living in our truth is living in our highest calling of our created selves. The rest may come and go. You may have things in your life you wish weren’t there. But YOU are not defined by your circumstances or situation. I see you in your light and love. I choose to be light and love. We stand together for truth. 


Try this - tell me who YOU are in the comments! Let’s start changing the script we speak over ourselves right now! I’ll start...


I’m a warrior and a strong vector of light. I bring hope and healing to the world around me. I choose healing and aligning with my highest self to bring glory to God and to honor my created being and my Creator with all that I am.

          Half my lifetime ago I was expecting to be permanently disabled or even dead at a young age unless I found a way back to hope and health. As a result of a mystery illness, I was nearly bed-ridden as a teenager. Sometimes I had to CRAWL up the 7 steps to my bedroom to get to bed because I couldn’t walk that far. I HAD to nap every single day. I was in *constant* burning, aching pain throughout my body and experienced exhaustion and brain fog so bad I could barely communicate. I had quit all sports, babysitting and other jobs. My ambitions, successes, sense of self, and LIFE were slipping through my fingers. I had been misdiagnosed with autoimmune conditions for years only to finally discover that Lyme disease and co-infections were the primary culprit of my medical mysteries. At the time of my diagnosis, I was spiraling into depression, helplessness, and hopelessness.  I had no idea where this journey would take me, but I could not see a light at the end of it, and that was just plain scary.
 
          My mom took me to many doctors, but none specialized in Lyme and tick borne illnesses. They all treated the symptoms I was having as best as they could, but I was still getting slowly worse, or having side effects from medications I was being put on. So my mom and I sought alternative options out of desperation. Homeopathy, diet changes, proper supplements, and rest finally started to lead me into healing and the fog started to lift. During that time, myofascial release from a certified massage therapist was one of the most helpful modalities I tried. She used essential oils too, and that was officially my first introduction to their power. All of these alternative options helped me survive, start to thrive, and begin the next leg of my journey: becoming a nurse. I thrived in a career that combined science, research, and helping others through their suffering and health goals. In my young adult years, I finally had the opportunity to continue my treatment and health journey with a Lyme specialist, which has helped me heal more fully than I ever would have thought possible 10yrs ago. 

          I knew that as I got married, started a family, and was working on healing my body, I had some big goals: 1) to be there for my family and to be able to care for them fully and 2) to have a non-toxic home and life in order to live our best lives. My cousin shared with me some of her journey, which had similarities to my own. She was using some things I was already curious about, including essential oils and specialized supplements. I was HOOKED after the first sample I tried! I could now clearly visualize the next steps of my healing journey - hope had returned!
              
          Now, I have endless hope. I can LIVE LIFE. This is the healthiest I’ve truly been since about age 14 and I’m thriving! I’ve been able to advocate for my own 4 babies, 3 of whom have ended up with Lyme too. I’m dedicated to using my nursing background and love of education in combination with appreciation for functional medicine and alternative therapies to help everyone I can. My hope is renewed. I am empowered and equipped. I’m enjoying and embracing the journey and want to help YOU to be able to have all of that too!
