I know many of you have been monitoring my medical progress and I must say I have learned a lot about myself over the past few weeks. Some of the lessons I'll share with you here on my blog.
For those of you clueless as to what's been up with Dr. Jeri let me "catch you up."
A few months back my doctor shared some "not so wonderful" news with me. He expressed his concerns with such warmth and tenderness. He spoke slowly allowing my brain to process his medical findings. I had a million questions:
How?
Why?
Why didn't I know before now?
Why wasn't I in any pain?
It seemed as though all my knowledge as a medical doctor went right out the window. For many of my questions he had no answers.
In his words over the years I had become accustomed to suffering. "It seems as though you simply ignored the quieter symptoms and just forged ahead with your daily functioning - even though you weren't functioning at maximum capacity."
My mind was in a whirlwind, "Huh?!! Accustomed to suffering? Ohhhh, absolutely this has to stop now."
Right there in his office I made my decision - I no longer wanted to COPE. Who wants to live a life where you're coping and pushing past the problem too exhausted to really enjoy each moment? Not me!! I deserve a MAXIMIZED life so I decided to make some necessary changes to experience that kinda life!
Now that my surgery is complete and the anesthesia & pain meds have worn off I'm asking myself "WHY didn't I do this sooner?" (The surgery was only the beginning for me!)
Now let me turn and ask you what you're COPING with (emotionally, socially, spiritually, financially or physically) that is hindering you from living a MAXIMIZED life? Sure, you may think you're doing well. But is your life really MAXED OUT? I'm talking MAXED?!!
I challenge you to release whatever is holding you back even in the most minuscule ways! It may feel crazy at first but I promise you will be ok... Shooooot you'll be better than "ok." You will have the opportunity to experience that MAXIMIZED life you have always desired.
Quit coping with less.
Release so you can increase!!!
I love you all and can't wait to see what God has lined up for me next! Still healing!
