One of the tools I have used along the way is to think about the future and visualize what life will look like when I am well. Here are some of the dreams I have for my life:
1) I am physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy; my immune system is functioning at optimal levels; and the irreversible damage to my physical body is minimal.
2) I determine which foods sound good to me, and I cook them. I have so many more food options, and my husband and I use our extensive knowledge of modifying recipes to enjoy a variety of tasty meals together.
3) I am reconnected with family and friends.
4) I am helping others with chronic illness in some way.
5) I am traveling with those I love. My current dreams are for more mountains, nature, and simple adventures. [Side note for the Hubs: Camping in a tent is not part of this dream. 🤣]
These are just a few of the dreams I have for my future. It can be scary to dream about the future when there are so many unanswered questions. However, it is important for me to visualize my life in this way. [I am also reminding the Universe in case there has been any confusion. 😉]
Brutal. Being patient throughout the journey.
Beautiful. Being grounded in the present while also dreaming about the future.
