I’ve had deeply rooted feelings of embarrassment due to my lack of ability to swallow pills for a long, long time now. I’m “one of those patients,” as a doctor just referred to me yesterday while I sat freezing in a cold urgent care exam room.

I’ve been up against this obstacle for years now. I have heard every response once I announce I can’t take a pill when it’s time to prescribe me a medication — and I mean all of the responses: “I know you don’t like pills, but this one could really help your symptoms.” “But it’s really tiny, you won’t even notice!” And my least favorite: “Well, you’re going to have to work on that one, young lady.” Regardless of the response, I’ve often been met with shock that I’ve lived a life mostly without medicated relief.

The truth is, I have worked on this for years. It’s been a royal pain in my butt knowing sometimes relief is just on the other side of a fear of mine.

Renew your Mind with a Mental Spring Clean
Spring is the season for new beginnings, a time to renew and recharge.  But more importantly just as we do a regular ‘spring clean’ of our home to declutter our personal space we should also be focused on a ‘spring cleanup for our mind’ as well.   After all, it is your mental thoughts that create your life’s destinyDeclutter your mind, what a fabulous idea!  Begin to rid yourself of any negative thoughts and behaviours you have harbored from the past in order to live a fulfilling life now.   Let’s use a seed we plant in the earth as an analogy.  With enough nurturing and care that seed will bloom into a beautiful plant or flower.   However, at the same time if you are not taking care of it weeds will begin to grow and the plant will die off and wither away from a lack of attention. What I do know for a fact is ‘thoughts are things’.    When you plant positive thoughts into your magnificent mind you will create positive outcomes.   Similar to a seed planted in the earth that has a set pattern destined by nature to grow into fruition we also have the ability to materialize into any self image we want thru concentrated effort.   So, like the seed, if your thought is ‘planted’, ‘nurtured’ and cared for those focused thoughts will manifest into physical reality.   Just like the miracle of tulip bulbs that quietly grow beneath the earth surface popping up thru the cold wintry ground they manifest into a beautiful flower.  Well, we can do the very same thing with a proper mindset! You have the ability to pull ‘negative weeds’ from your mind.
