Natural good health really only begins when you start taking responsibility for your own life and therefore your health. Too often, people pass this responsibility on to others. However, there is no one on this earth who has a greater interest in your health than you.
Health care providers are just people. Some are good, some are not so good. They need to earn a living. They too have their own concerns and responsibilities. Sure, they know a little more about how the body works than you do, and they know a little more about their chosen modality than you do.
But they don’t know you. You are the only person who has a Ph.D. in you. Only you are with you all the time. Only you know how you react in certain circumstances. Only you know how your past traumas affected you.
By taking responsibility for your life, you are moving closer to natural good health. By blaming others for all your misfortunes, you are on the path to ill health.
Taking responsibility for your own life is not going to happen overnight if you have been in the habit of blaming others. Changing mentalities, changing deep-rooted thought patterns requires determination and effort.
By recognizing that this is the healthiest way forward, you have made the biggest change. The rest is almost easy. All you have to do is remind yourself of it every day. As soon as the old thoughts start to intrude, change them.
For example, if your thoughts tend to be “It’s my parents’ fault that I’m not healthy right now. They should have fed me better.” You can change them to “My parents did the best they thought. They may have been wrong. Now I have the potential to change all that.”
Being aware of the past means that you can change its consequences. Don’t get stuck there. Use it to move on.
The same happens when choosing your preferred healthcare professional, whatever the modality. You must have a good working relationship with them. You should be able to speak to them freely and openly. They should never ridicule your choices or make you feel small.
If they do, they are not right for you. Abandon them, move on. Find someone you can work with. Don’t stay with someone because your partner/mother/brother likes them. Don’t stay with someone because he’s the best in town.
Stay with someone because it suits your needs better. This may change over time. By being aware of your needs and taking responsibility, by focusing on what is good for you (not others) and following it, then you are making progress towards good natural health.
