Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>In the past two weeks, I&#8217;ve learned of two other friends<br \/>\nwho&#8217;ve been diagnosed with advanced cancer. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>All of these events happened at very inconvenient times,<br \/>\ncompletely disrupting the person&#8217;s life. Each person would<br \/>\nhave argued that they didn&#8217;t &#8220;plan&#8221; to get sick.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, all of them ignored signs that trouble was on the way,<br \/>\nbecause it wasn&#8217;t &#8220;convenient&#8221; to handle them at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Do you do this too? Do you put yourself last? Do you<br \/>\ncontinue to push yourself when you feel stressed, assuming<br \/>\nthat &#8220;stress is just part of life?&#8221; Do you assume there is<br \/>\nnothing you can do about your unhappiness, low self esteem,<br \/>\nfeelings of being trapped in your life circumstances? Do<br \/>\nnumb out, or cover up your stress and pain with food,<br \/>\nalcohol, work, shopping, drugs?<\/p>\n<p>But stress is the underlying cause of all illness, and even<br \/>\nall accidents.<\/p>\n<p>And you CAN do something about it!<\/p>\n<p>Lots of people think they &#8220;can&#8217;t afford&#8221; to pause and learn<br \/>\nhow to do things differently, because financial stress is<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s causing them to push themselves until they get sick,<br \/>\nand financial stress leads to time stress, so they feel like<br \/>\nthey don&#8217;t have time to do anything differently.<\/p>\n<p>Please, take a deep breath.<\/p>\n<p>Sooner or later, the vicious cycle WILL be interrupted. It<br \/>\nwill either be by your conscious choice, deciding to get a<br \/>\nhandle on your life, deciding you ARE worth a better life,<br \/>\nor it will be by default, in the form of illness or an<br \/>\naccident.<\/p>\n<p>Illness and accidents are, to say the least, VERY<br \/>\nINCONVENIENT!<\/p>\n<p>And often, they are VERY EXPENSIVE in both money and time,<br \/>\nnot to mention suffering. It&#8217;s not exactly the vacation of<br \/>\nyour dreams to spend a week in bed, too sick to even read a<br \/>\ngood book, enjoy a movie, or be with those you love.<\/p>\n<p>And, remember the story of the frog who didn&#8217;t jump out of<br \/>\nthe water because he didn&#8217;t notice it was getting gradually<br \/>\nhotter and hotter, until he was cooked?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been limping along for years, &#8220;managing&#8221; to get by<br \/>\nwith the assistance of stopgap measures, you may be missing<br \/>\nthe clues that the water is getting hotter&#8211;that things are<br \/>\nhappening in your body that you may not be willing to<br \/>\nnotice.<\/p>\n<p>Give yourself the gift this holiday season of the true<br \/>\ncomfort and happiness of awakening and becoming empowered by<br \/>\nconsciously choosing a vibrant life, rather than letting the<br \/>\ndefault of illness and injury just &#8220;happen&#8221; to you.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re invited to join a brand new group to learn the<br \/>\nSecrets to Miracle Healing!<\/p>\n<p>Get all the details, and audio #4 in the intro series, at:<br \/>\n<a title=\"The Secrets to Miracle Healing\" href=\"You're invited to join a brand new group to learn the Secrets to Miracle Healing!
