How I cope with having ALS...
Mar 7 2009, 10:06 PM EST
I was DX with ALS in 1999, started having symptoms in 1995...This is what I do, and it works for me: First I trust in God, I give it up to him to sustain me, he gives me peace beyond understanding, I know everything will be alright, one day at a time... Second I choose to have a positive attitude, no matter what... Third, I cherish every day, i have left, by making every day count, concentrate on what I can do, not on what i can't... fourth, Cherish my family and friends, don''t hold grudges, forgive all... How do you cope with life's adversity??? mikerayl.com 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

thanks for sharing , cherish is the word, thanksgiving the response, worship and adoration the resulting actionI've used many a coping strategy in my life, beginning with expanding out of the familial catholicism of my youth. Those first months of 'liberation' from autocratic theologians were so spiritually and socially expansive that I will cherish the acquired circle attainment forever. The fifth epochal had much the same effect, helping me transcend many an obsolete pattern of behaviour. The key to my continued ascension and growth has always been based on forgiveness and forgivingness, the fundamental nature of our filial relationship with the divine means to me that we are entitled to forgiveness through grace it is our inheritance as sons of Michael. So today when I run up against one of my walls of resistance and start to react . .. .. .. deep breath .. .. .. .. long exhale .. .. .. (repeat as often as required. drop the hammer if necessary) and begin a simple sequence with the following phrases I love you Father, I am so sorry , I humbly ask your forgiveness, Thank you (again repeat as often as needed). This quicklly brings me back into alignment with my higher, best self from where my observation takes on the 'witness attitude' . I can disengage from the reactionary, emotive conditioning of my subconscious and begin to ease off on the self-criticism that neutralizes all too many of us all too often. Let go , let God .. .. .. making steady progress, three years sober and my wife and I dropped the cigarettes on the New Year. . externalities but important physical and mental health issues nevertheless. The inner work of co-creating a soul is slowly healing me from the inside out , allowing me to move beyond shame, sin , embarassment, guilt into Michael's all loving-embrace of co-operative sustainability and eternal progress. Today is the first day of the rest of my ascension to infinity and beyond. Love 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
