How to banish the fear of illness?

 How to banish the fear of illness?

The only thing you can remember is this: when you are living in the moment, that is, when you are in the present, then fear, if it is present, is natural.

Let me first refresh your view on what fear is. Fear is an emotion.
It can be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE, or natural or contrived.

NATURAL/POSITIVE FEAR

You could call it positive fear. It is the fear that protects us, protects us from accidents, consequences, catastrophes and much more. 

Example: if I didn't have an innate fear, I would be walking on rooftops, swimming with crocodiles, playing with fire, and it probably wouldn't have all ended well.

We accept natural fear, we are happy with it and we don't bother with it. When we start working on ourselves, that's when we learn that fear came into our lives with the intention to learn and change. It is the same when we are afraid when we get sick. We know that we have to change something in our lifestyle, in our diet, in our activity, and above all in our thinking.

GAINED/NEGATIVE FEAR

This is the fear that our mind imposes. This fear comes especially when we are not in the moment. When our thoughts keep going back to the past or the future, that is when this fear gains immense strength.

Example: a teenager wants to go to a concert in the evening, I, as a caring mother, immediately go to the future, oh my, what if something happens to him, what if he is set up or my imagination can go even further, what if he is robbed, sexually abused, shot. I am paralysed by such fear, and when I feel like that, it is very difficult to say to my teenager, happily, yes, of course, go on, I trust you. If I can get over the surface fear and let him go out with his friends, then I certainly don't turn a blind eye until he gets home.

Negative fear consists of first one scary thought, then a new one, then a third one, and it doesn't end.
If you imagine first one snowflake, then a ball, then a snowball and finally an avalanche. You can't stop the avalanche, but you can stop the snowflake by going under the roof.

AND NOW COMES OUR GOAL: HOW TO TURN A NEGATIVE FEAR INTO A POSITIVE ONE?

My example with a teenager:

1. I take responsibility

I talk to the teenager, I want to know where they are going, with which company, I set boundaries, I take them to the party and I take them out of the party at the agreed time.

2. Focus on us

When a teenager is at a party, I am in the moment, and I put the focus on myself. I know that I have taken care of the conversation, that I have set boundaries and taken responsibility, and now it's time for me. I can date and go out with a friend for an evening alone, I can come home and write a blog, I can watch a good film or take a short break. I am in the moment.

3. I take care of myself

Since I am the first priority in my life, I will make sure I have a good time when my teenager is at a party. Even if fear comes, I will acknowledge it and calm myself in a way that suits me best. And most importantly, I will repeat it to myself several times if necessary. When I gave birth to this teenager, I gave him life and I committed myself to giving him freedom and all the love I can, knowing that with every experience he grows as I grow. And I fall too, but I have learned to pick myself up with love.

Now look at these 3 solutions in more detail.

3 SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME FEAR OF DISEASE and why Louise Hay's philosophy can help.

WHAT CHANGED FOR ME when I started living the Louise Hay philosophy? I would put taking responsibility first. I really take responsibility for everything I say, write, do. I stopped changing the people around me, I started accepting them as they are. I started to live my life, every morning I ask myself what will make me happy today, what if today was the last day, how would I like to spend it and go into a new day.

So 3 SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME FEAR OF DISEASE (you can apply this to any fear that is constantly present in your life):

→ I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for my diagnosis, for my health. I know that the disease has come into my life because something needs to change about my lifestyle. When I take responsibility, I prove to myself that I want to change something

I. What I give out, I get back. Always.

I RESPECT MYSELF, I LOVE MYSELF, I ACCEPT MYSELF = PEOPLE LIKE THIS COME INTO MY LIFE

WHAT I GIVE TO MY BODY, I LISTEN TO IT, I TAKE ITS WHISPERS INTO ACCOUNT BEFORE IT STARTS SCREAMING = I GET IT BACK IN THE FORM OF HEALTH

II. What I believe about life and myself becomes true for me.

FIRST CHECK WHAT I BELIEVE (this is done repeatedly through exercises in workshops or individual coaching)

AT THE AGE OF 5, I HAD ALREADY FORMED SOME BELIEFS THAT HAVE STUCK WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME = BELIEFS CAN BE CHANGED = I CHANGED MY MIND AND I CHANGED MY LIFE TO A HIGH STEP AND I'M GOING EVEN HIGHER

III. Our thoughts are creative

FIRST I CHECK WHAT I THINK, WHAT THOUGHTS I START THE DAY WITH (this is often checked through exercises in workshops or individual coaching)

ONE NEGATIVE THOUGHT DOES NO HARM - THOUGHTS ARE LIKE DROPLETS

A droplet can go to - LAKE then to - FISH and if there are still droplets to - OCEAN

If you are solution-oriented, then you can sail on the ocean of life.

My example:

I'M HEALTHY, MY BODY IS FLEXIBLE, MY BODY ALWAYS TELLS ME THE RIGHT TIME TO MAKE CHANGES. I LOOK FORWARD TO OLD AGE, I AM ACTIVE UNTIL MY LAST BREATH AND I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

→ FOCUS ON US - always focusing on myself and how I can enrich my life

I. Self-affirmation and self-acceptance are key.

IF I AM US and I CRITICISE EVERYTHING, I WILL GET IT BACK.
HOW WILL I CONVINCE OTHERS TO LOVE ME IF I CANNOT LOVE MYSELF AS I AM NOW.

II. I can be free from the past and forgive everyone.

ALL THAT IS PAST IS MY THOUGHTS, IT'S JUST A RETROSPECTIVE PUNISHMENT. DO I GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT IF I LIVE IN RESENTMENT?

FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN APPROVAL, BUT ONLY UNDERSTANDING AND LIBERATION.

III. Forgiveness opens the door to love.

WHEN I BEGAN TO FORGIVE, THE DOOR OF LOVE OPENED. I DID IT FIRST WITH THOSE I WASN'T TOO ANGRY WITH, THEY WERE IN THE EASIER CATEGORY. FINALLY, I TACKLED THE HARDEST CASES, THE ONES THAT WERE REALLY EATING AWAY AT MY HEALTH AND MY BODY.

→ I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU - when I fell in love with myself, I knew that this love would last forever. All people can leave you, separate from you, hurt you, but you never lose the love you have for yourself and you never let it go.

I. It is worth loving or being loved.

I UNDERSTOOD THIS WHEN I FIRST ASKED MYSELF IF I HAD TO EARN MY BREATH, IF I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO BREATHE IN AND OUT = WE ALL HAVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IN THIS WORLD, JUST LIKE WE HAVE AIR, WE GET IT AT BIRTH, NOW IT'S TIME TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE IT BACK.

II. Love is the most powerful healing force.

LOVE IS THE BIGGEST IMMUNE SYSTEM BUSTER.
WHEN I STARTED TO LOVE MYSELF, I STOPPED GETTING SICK, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SICKNESS IN MY BODY AND SOUL

WHEN I STARTED TO LOVE MYSELF, I BECAME STRONG, I WENT FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR

III. Be prepared.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS, YOU ARE RICHER FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE, FOR NEW THOUGHTS. DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU KNOW IT ALL.

I AM READY FOR A VERY GOOD LIFE AND I KNOW YOU ARE TOO.

In my family there was a lot of fear of illness, of life, but I dispelled that by STARTING TO LIVE MY LIFE, STARTING TO LIVE IN THE TRUTH, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY HEALTH, GIVING FOCUS TO US AND LOVING YOU.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
