SICKLE CELL AND CONFESSIONS
Living with Sickle cell can cause one so many anxieties, like the above picture. One worries about one’s career, future, family, home, finances, security, retirement, old age, aspirations and of course one’s health.
As an individual, it is important for me, to fortify myself with words that define a better day, tomorrow or future. They are words validation, that anyone can speak onto themselves at any time during the day. I prefer speaking these words over my life first thing in the morning. I wanted those words to have settled into my body, soul and spirit before I start my daily business.
What these words do for me, is convey my love of myself, gratitude, and esteem of the person Tola. They also help me to face the day ahead with no fear. They are simply uplifting words, that help me to focus on the good side of life that I live in. The more one is sick, it is so easy to feel low, feel anxious or depressed and one way to not succumb to these negative feelings or that voice that wants one to concentrate on what is going on is to speak these words of inspiration.
What I do in order to focus and not feel down or depressed all the time is to make the following confessions every morning.
Here it is:
I command all my body organs to function flawlessly. I will not suffer any Sickle cell pain as from now on. My life is enjoying a pain free existence. I speak life into all my joints. Sickle cell crisis, you are a liar. I will always enjoy splendid health because Sickle cell does not have a hold on my future. Sickled blood cells in my body, you will not stick together.
I will fulfil my purpose in life. I am above and not beneath. I will prosper. I am brave. My hope will not be cut off. My needs shall be met. I am determined that whatever I lay my hands upon will flourish. I affirm that my wishes will come to pass. Every day, I do the best I can. I will not give up on life. I will keep striving. I believe my tomorrow will be better than today. I am grateful for today. I will not give up.
The reason why I say the above is because I am responsible for myself. I must speak good things into my life because no one else will, particularly as I live with Sickle cell. I do not mean that people wish me evil. No, I don’t but I mean that speaking these daily inspirational words will not do me any harm but will lift my spirit up and m§ake me focus on attaining my God-given goals. Of course, my loved ones wish me well. But ultimately, I must love me. I must try to like me. Speaking these words of inspiration into my life, make me feel upbeat about myself. Until next time, don’t give up.
