Terms such as self-esteem, self-image, and self-worth all pretty much have the same meaning. Many of the ideas I've discussed relate to maintaining your self-worth. Finding healthy physical activities, seeking out new talents and developing a good work ethic all contribute to having a healthy self-image.
In my mind, having a positive self-image falls under mental health on the 4-Points of Health. It’s important to feel good about the person you are in spite of the challenges you face. When you feel bad about the person you are, it’s easier to fall into depression. More depression leads to poorer health. Poorer health leads to more pain. But when you have a positive view of the person you are, you create within yourself an inner peace that benefits your entire health. Work at maintaining a positive self-image.
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.
