Ever feel like you lose sight of the forest (your diagnosis or token illness) because you are too busy fighting your symptoms? Bill Chipur of Chipur.com has this 8 step "lifestyle management regimen." I thought it was worth sharing:
. Self-honest insight as to our disorder(s)
. Understanding how our distress has impacted our lives in the past
. Knowing what's comfortable, as well as what isn't
. Knowing what to expect if we donít self-manage
. Having an arsenal of self-proven relief strategies and techniques locked and loaded for immediate use if needed
. Knowing when it's time to put our prepared strategies and techniques to work - instead of flipping-out
. Understanding that we have a proven track record of emerging from the depths of our ick
. Staying in relationship with a counselor and folks enduring the same stuff
. Your thoughts...
