Thanksgiving is practically here. Are you thankful for your health this year?
I know when it comes to your health you may be frustrated with problems you’ve faced this past year. It is often easy to dwell on the negatives:
1. A lack of insurance coverage
2. Not able to diagnosis what’s going on
3. Difficulty contacting your physician
4. Not getting answers to your questions
5. Unpleasant medication side effects
Thanksgiving provides a great opportunity to step back and look at the positives. Some of these may apply to you:
1. You’ve had another year with your family.
2. You’ve begun treatment to control your health issues.
3. Surgery was a success.
4. You’ve been able to wean off medication.
5. You’re more active now than you were last year.
6. You’ve lowered your blood pressure.
7. Your cholesterol is within normal.
If in your case the positives don’t outweigh the negatives what can you do in the year ahead to change that around?
