"If we are scared of or intimidated by the disease, we give it substantial power and vice-versa. It's important to respect the power it can have if we let it, but it's very incorrect to be scared of it. That's the first lesson."
" It’s first, and absolutely most powerful, weapon is fear. FEAR! The stress that manifests from that fear is the most powerful weapon the disease has. It will sit you down, shut you up and demand your submission. In the beginning I couldn’t comprehend the remitting aspect of the symptoms. Every time I would get a twitch or numbness I thought my world was ending….. Now I understand that “deer in the headlight look” people speak of.
Seeing the potential for the first symptoms of an exacerbation, or a flare up, before they show up is your first and best weapon against fear. If you know they’re coming, they shouldn’t scare or surprise you. Once you learn to address them long before they show up, you take their power away. So, if you know they’re coming and what you’re going to do when they show up, why would you manifest fear?
Choose to fight the battles you can win, for there are many. The fear battle is one you can win easily and it’s a wonderful victory. It’s also the most important battle to win. Remember the programming in your mind? My mind isn’t scared of this annoying nonsense. Never give away your power. You are in charge. "
