Your chronic condition

In coaching, we learn to better manage our lives by being our own best friend. By learning to pay attention to  what is manifesting. When we do look at our patterns, beliefs, and attitudes, we can learn where and what needs attention and/or changed.

Sometimes, we choose to ignore what is happening. How often do you keep going when your body is telling you to rest?  Are you staying in a relationship or job that isn't good for you? Are you ignoring your emotions so you don't have to face what they mean?

Luckily, we all have a body that let's us know when we are hungry, in pain, or feeling well. We have emotions that inform us as to the state of our mental health. We have relationships that either enhance our lives and promote growth, or limit our lives and disturb our equilibrium. It's when we forget to pay attention that we find ourselves facing chronic conditions. If you already have a chronic condition, then, it's crucial that your even more diligent in your self care.

So, I guess the question is:  are you managing your chronic condition, or are you developing one? Maybe two?
