View Full Version : An okay feeling...

So,
I've had health concerns for the past year. It was a constant, heart pounding, panic attack causing worry. My main fear was that I have AIDS. But then I started using self affirming thoughts, telling myself that I am completely healthy and well. On top of that I started running daily, and eating better (and I'm still trying to quit smoking!) but man, I feel BETTER. Much better than I have in years. Despite my extreme fear of finding out that I have AIDS I went and got the test, on a whim so I couldn't whimp out. And it was negative.
Moral of the story: Self affirming thoughts work wonders.

Hiya AmandaL,
Good to hear you are feeling good.
I've never found self affirmation works with me, I must have a little office in my brain where little numbskulls work 24/7 to undo my positive affirmations and replace them with fact. :D
Reading your post, I would think that your diet and the running you are now doing is a big part behind your improvement. Keep it up. Well done.
take care
