To Tell Or Not To Tell... That Is The Question!

As I have already discussed in my article on Candace Pert, one of the main healing factors is having a strong reason for healing.  Motivation is key.

Kelly Turner [1; see also my post here on this subject] outlined that you should have a strong reason for living/healing.  However, she did not discuss whether one’s reasons for healing should be shared or not.

I was unsure whether or not I should tell you my reasons for healing my Type 1 Diabetes.  There seems to be a large amount of psychology research out there saying that I should NOT say… That it can decrease motivation by doing so [2].

    1. Again thank you! I have my reasons as well. Our thought processes are similar. Here is to the journey of healing.

      • Hi Liz,
        Thank you for your kinds words. I honestly believe that we all have similar thoughts because our bodies/minds/souls are all pointing us towards true healing… And now we’re starting to listen! I’d love to hear about your journey as you continue on your path to healing.
