You Are Not Your Disease:
A Path to Healing and Empowerment
You’re only as weak as you let yourself become, and you’re only as strong as you allow yourself to be.
The Power of Words
Every time we say “MY” attached to a pain, disease, or illness, we personalize it, giving it more power to linger. Statements like “MY allergies are killing me this year” or “MY back pain is awful” anchor these conditions into our identity.
Words Have Frequency
Research shows that words have specific frequencies that can manifest physical conditions. When you say “MY” or “I AM” about an illness, you take ownership of it, making it part of your reality. To heal, you need to detach yourself from this ownership.
Disease and Pain are Not Your Identity
Many people make their illness their identity, constantly talking about it and sharing detailed medical histories online. This behavior signals the subconscious mind to maintain this identity, making healing difficult. Instead, shift your self-talk to present-tense affirmations of health and well-being.
The Shift in Thinking
Life-changing organizations encourage positive present-tense affirmations. For example, saying “I am a non-smoker” instead of “I am trying to stop smoking” signifies an immediate change. Apply this to illness by shifting from “I am trying to heal” to “I am healthy now.” Detach from the identity of being ill and embrace a new, healthy identity.
Talk Less About Your Illness
Constantly talking about your illness reinforces it. Choose not to discuss your pain or illness for a week. Focus on others and their lives, and you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel.
Redirect Conversations
If people ask about your illness, kindly change the topic. Use phrases like, “I’m getting there, thanks for asking! How are you?” This shifts the focus from illness to positive aspects of life.
Use Different Words
If you must talk about your illness, choose words that promote healing. For example:
- Instead of “MY allergies are killing me this year,” say, “I am currently dealing with some allergies, but they will go away.”
- Instead of “MY back pain is awful,” say, “My back is really hurting. I am going to meditate to lessen it.”
Rewriting your sentences sends healing messages to your mind, empowering both mind and body.
Never Own Your Illness Again
Stop using “MY” with any illness. Refuse to identify with your disease, even if it seems chronic or terminal. You can still decide not to let it define you.
