? For Those Healed/Healing...

[VibinOnLife!]

Greetings,

I love reading how euphoric people are on this board! Everyone is healed, healing, or just going from feeling fine to fabulous. I don't really read much though from those who are at the beginning of this journey and feeling the fear and uncertainty.

I am one of the ever growing group of people diagnosed with excellent health and feeling terrible. I know that living foods cure. I have no doubt about that. My concern is my mental outlook. I find myself...as I begin this journey again...going from moments of happiness that I'm taking better care of myself, to moments of stomach-dropping fear that maybe I started too late. Has this happened to anyone here?

I'm a pretty optimistic person, but I still feel like "I know it worked for them, but what about what I'M going through?" It reminds me of this video that I saw where the woman was drinking yet another green smoothie, and suddenly went into an angry crying fit because her boyfriend could eat anything that he wanted whenever he wanted and she HAD to stick with the green stuff no matter what. I know you get past that once you see the benefits for yourself. But honestly, I'm not there yet and I have to deal with where I am.

How did you feel when you started this journey, knowing that you had "stuff" that you needed to heal? How did you deal with those creeping "what if" feelings if you had them? How long was it before all of those feelings were replaced by joy and the COMPLETE knowledge that this was working for you? What advice would you give to someone suffering with nagging symptoms, who is doing the nutritional changes, but still dealing with the mental changes that it takes in order to "think yourself healthy"?

Thank you so much. Sorry to be so long-winded. But I was really feeling it today and I just had to release this. And I really pray that I get some responses. I could use all of the help that I can get.

When there's no way, there's a way. When there's no choice, there's a choice. When it's too late, it's NOT too late. It's never too late to live, always too soon to die.

Replace your self doubt with visions of success.
Wishing you all the best,
RS :)

Rawstrength thank you so much. Your words brought tears to my eyes. And I can't begin to tell you how perfect your answer was. Thank you.

I doubt her boyfriend could eat everything he wanted forever, a bad diet eventually catches up to everyone and then he is going to be in pain or sick and he is going to have to change his diet.

And she shouldn't have been forcing herself to eat green smoothies, there is so much variety in raw I can't see anyone not finding types of foods that they like. You can change up green smoothies too by putting the greens in the food processor with savory spices and making a pate out of them and spreading it on nori.

Well, first of all, it's not too late even for those on their deathbed, I've heard numerous testimonies of people who've been told by Dr's there's nothing they can do, & to get get their affairs in order, & they've gone on to heal, & live another 20 years!

& I've also read LOTS of senior citizens getting totally RAWjuvinated & feeling 20 years younger...so no matter how old you are, or what your overall condition is, or what could be going on beneath the surface, or what your history is, or what you've been putting in & doing to your body, RAW WILL HELP!!! It's NEVER too late!!!

...& on that note, I totally get where you're coming from...I'm a 42 year old single mom of a 12 year old who was just recently diagnosed with and then miraculously healed of inflammatory breast cancer...

...I also have fibromyalgia, it's very likely I have MS, (I refused more testing & am focussing on healing naturally), I have over 200#'s to release still (am about 30 lbs down from my highest weight), have struggled with staying 100% raw for a few years now, & only lose weight when I am...I also likely have PCOS, (haven't gone for the bloodwork again, it was heading there awhile back, but just don't want any more labels on me!) which makes it very difficult to release weight, I also am pre-diabetic, & have carpal tunnel syndrome, have some arthritic stuff going on in my hands & possibly hip, & have IBS {comes with the FM} when I don't stay 100% raw, & numerous other symptoms/health problems...

...BUT (& here's the thing) I KNOW that RAW is what God has led me to in order to accomplish the healing needing to be done in my body!!! & whenever I have those feelings, I just pray, & give them over to Him, & He takes those fears & concerns from me, & reminds me of the truth, which is that He created our bodies to be healthy, & self-healing, when they're given what He created for them for fuel...

...whenever you're feeling this way, perhaps go read raw testimonials, not just the big dramatic healing ones (as mine will be! *grin*) but also the ones who had no specific diseases to overcome, & read of the difference it makes in their lives!

Also, maybe start a daily journal, list the changes you feel as they happen, & the emotions around these things will shift, & dissipate over time, when it's time...

...for me, those feelings still come & go, but seem to leave when I'm consistant, & 100% for more than a week or 2...
...hope that's also the case for you, but remember, we're all different!

Just keep pressing on,
it really does get better by the day!
(Even detox feels better than the 'before raw' days, for me, anyways!)

I think sometimes we get to the point where we are sick and tired of being sick and tired.:)

what we say to ourselves is very very important. when i began this journey i started using the mantra "i am a light, lean, healthy being". i started saying it to myself all the time.

but really... i think your signature line says it all!


CONGRATULATIONS!!! You woke up this morning! This means you have another chance. Don't waste it.

it's NEVER too late. i'm 44 and my hubby is 59... and this life choice has totally changed our health, our lives, our energy levels. it's GREAT! best gift you can give yourself IMO.

keep on keepin' on. you'll get to the point where you feel the difference... i promise!!!!

Thank you all so much for your responses!

And thank you rawstrength, anastazia, and aleesha for really getting to the heart of my question, which was what do/did you do to get rid of negative thought processes while you were in the beginning stages of this lifestyle.

Creative visualization, God, and positive self-talk. Such obvious answers, and yet sometimes we forget how easy a thing is until we start to make it difficult with over-analyzation and other stuff.

Yes, I do live by my signature! I just need to learn how to unclutter my mind the same way that I have learned to unclutter my body.

Thanks ladies!
