How many of you have been told that your current condition is because you are getting old? Or perhaps you have heard …
"Unfortunately, people with your condition don't often improve."
"You are just going to have to live with it.”
"There isn’t much else I can do for you.”
For those of you who have heard one of those statements, I have another question for you: Have you believed what you have been told?
Did you know that every:
5 days you get a new stomach lining
30 days you get a new skin
45 days you get a new liver
49 days you get a new bladder
90 days you get a new skeleton
Now do you still believe your condition is permanent? How quickly we forget that the vast majority of diagnoses are changeable conditions. Your scoliosis, degenerative hip, torn meniscus, plantar fasciitis, spinal stenosis, and frozen shoulder are not "forever" conditions. They are not permanent. They are signals. Those conditions are alerting you to the fact that you're out of balance. But the good news is that your body is in a constant state of renewal and can return to a balanced state in no time at all!
There is a huge difference between what you believe and what is possible. Often times, you're told that the body just isn't enough, and it's not capable of healing itself. Fortunately, that's just not the case. Trust me, I've seen the changes in my clients' lives, and personally, I've experienced a considerable change in my body.
The body, when given a chance, has an amazing ability to heal itself. It possesses incredible regenerative and restorative capabilities. It wants to heal and be whole.
Here's what Pete Egoscue says about renewal in his book, Pain Free:
“The body is organic; therefore, it is in a constant state of growth or rebirth. Muscles, bones, nerves, connective tissues, cartilage, and the like are all alive. If the body is not renewing, it is because we are violating the laws of physical health. The more laws we violate, the faster we age and die.”
Crazy right?!
Your body is a living, breathing organism, and it's finally time we started thinking of it as such.
When trying to make sense of what you’ve been told about your condition, it's imperative that you understand the body's regenerative capabilities. Again, there's a difference between what we're told and what we actually believe. It's time we start believing the truth about the body.
