Publisher's Synopsis
At some point in life, most of us will face health problems of some kind. Whether it's chronic back pain, the stiffness and pain of rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain from CFIDS or MS or any number of other causes, as we age our bodies often stop doing what they used to do with ease. If we suffer from a health condition, we can become overwhelmed with the simple, everyday tasks and the suffering that may accompany our condition. It is during these times that it is most important to focus on inner work in addition to any medical treatment. The mental diet we feed ourselves has profound effects on our physical well being. Well-known psychologist, Lee Jampolsky, discusses his personal health problems, from spending months in a body cast as a young man to going deaf from an autoimmune disease. He shows how learning to alter our thoughts and beliefs about our health is key to our physical well-being. The book features concepts that explain how to: - Empower Yourself for Healing - Deal with the News and Move On - The Three Primary Fears During a Health Problem - Three New Health-Enhancing Beliefs - Learn how to ask for help - Let go of what holds you back from health - Use Guidelines for Trusting and Following Wisdom Contemplation "Even when we live in pain and limitation, we have the choice to say yes to life. Attitude is everything. That is the message of this fine book. I heartily recommend it." -John Gray, author of the bestseller, MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS
