I see a wellness journey as more of a �mindset�. It�s viewing our bodies and our minds as gifts� gifts that we need to actively take care of and protect as best we can. It�s not necessarily about perfection. It�s about doing the best with what we have.
I love this! I must remember it: Doing the best with what we have. My family and I just had a long discussion about our lives. My daughter was born with a terminal genetic disorder that appeared in her teens. My son has his emotional challenges while I have my own issues with minor OCD. They feel sorry for themselves, and my husband and I have to explain again and again that *everyone* has some sort of challenge, handicap or deficit whether it be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or psychological. Some people lack key traits simply because they haven't had the life circumstances to develop them (empathy, kindness, etc.)
We have to stop lamenting the fact that we aren't perfect, there is no perfect, and that we only can do the best we can with our given circumstances. And be doing our best, we truly can astound ourselves!
My kids have turned around a bit and today they see their own worth and potential which are limited only by their own limiting beliefs. I'm surprised that one can literally change their lives by changing their minds. My kids are no longer feeling sorry for themselves. They're doing great now with lots of hope for futures of their own making. Yes, my daughter's health will deteriorate but she will be running when the sands run out!
