I love to walk and run. It is a peaceful time for me to reflect and enjoy God’s beautiful landscape.
When illness or disease strikes, we need to rest the body for proper healing. But do not get comfortable on the sofa or in the bed.
After a few days or weeks, if you’re able to, venture out for a quick walk. If you’re not able to go outside, walk around the house. Your endurance will increase each day. Every step counts.
Walking and stretching the body are key factors in the healing process. Carve out a few moments each day to exercise your precious gift.
Treatment for any illness or disease should involve caring for the mind, body, and soul.
Advocacy is key. Survivors and caregivers research the condition and treatment options. Listen carefully to the medical provider’s treatment plan. Speak up! Don’t be afraid to share your concerns about the plan. And remember, there’s nothing wrong with getting a second opinion.
Most importantly, take a timeout to clear your mind by meditating and/or listening to soothing music. Recharge your body by eating healthy and exercising.
