I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” The idea behind the statement is if you eat nothing but junk, you’re going to feel like junk. I eat a lot of chocolate; I guess that’s what makes me so sweet natured. The principal is the same with thoughts. You are what you think. For example, if you think you’re doomed to a miserable life with a thousand medical problems and will die at a young age, chances are that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If that’s what you truly believe, you’re apt to live life in a self-destructive manner and make that gloomy prediction occur.
On the other hand, if you choose to believe you are going to live as long and healthy as is possible, you have a much better chance at making it so. More than just thinking it, live to make it happen by caring for your body the very best you know how. “Your focus determines your reality” (another Star Wars quote).
This blog is intended to help people of all ages cope with many of the challenges that come with Sickle Cell Disease. When first launched, my target audience was teens and parents. Over the years, however, the scope of my content has expanded to help people of all ages who may struggle with similar complications as I. Whether you’re reading this for yourself or to help a loved one cope with Sickle Cell, I believe there is something here for everybody affected by this disease and other illnesses.
