TO YOUR HEALTH
You Can Heal Yourself... ...continued from page 35
In addition, expand the universe of people you consider valid care - givers. Recognize that your physician or health practitioner offers just one angle on your health, especially in today’s world of hyper-special - ized healthcare. It’s always good to get a second opinion. In fact, ex - pand your search for information and helpful healing approaches to others in tangential medical fields, e.g., nutritionists as an expansion of the scope of gastroenterology, or somatic body alignment ( Thom- as Hanna ) as it relates to managing and overcoming chronic pain. There are also many supportive specialists such as advanced physical therapists or grief counselors, alternative and complementary practi- tioners, therapists and coaches, and spiritual advisors. 7. You’re the Boss – Embrace Your New Self-Reliance You can make overcoming the common misconceptions about heal- ing, and their potential impact on your well-being, an integral part of your life and successful healing journey. Choose to play an active and more informed role. In doing so, you’ll deepen your knowledge and understanding of your unique circumstances and options. Then, you can strategically account for your preferences and opinions and make more personalized choices. This will significantly increase your con - fidence and your chances of securing better care and more successful outcomes. Start by adopting these seven ways you can help yourself heal. Em- brace this information, approach, and the self-reliance that naturally arises from it. Embrace the responsibility for your own well-being and thrive.

point. If you find you have an allergic reaction to something, especial - ly if the reaction is more severe, you avoid contact, i.e., you change your behavior. Similarly, cancer remissions seem to endure in those patients who change causal behaviors such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, unsafe sex, and chronic stress. 5. Good Health and Wellness Is About Healthy Lifestyles and Prevention Good health is associated with healthy lifestyles and good health maintenance. In other words, it’s about prevention and mitigation rather than interventions and emergency treatment. While it’s commonly known that healthy lifestyles are a key fac - tor in what helps people heal, the average American makes reckless and unwholesome choices nearly every day. Just consider typical food choices, riding a bike or scooter without a helmet, or the hours spent lounging in front of a television or glued to a screen. 6. Enlisting Others’ Help and Care Is A Good Thing When you need help, ask for it. Even when you can manage on your own, you can benefit from others’ help. With assistance, you can relax, rest, and restore your health. Plus your support team can share your burden, ensure you adhere to your treatment protocols, conduct re- search and advocate on your behalf, and uplift your spirits. If you’re thinking it’s rude, embarrassing, or shameful to express your pain and suffering, think again. Loved ones genuinely want to help even when you’re not at your best. And caretakers benefit from knowing you’re in good hands and they’ve contributed to your well-be - ing.
