What are your beliefs about your body? Is something wrong with you?
- Oh yes. I have ..... (insert according to your situation as appropriate).
- Or is it just a belief and not the truth?
- But I have a diagnosis from the doctor, a famous specialist.
- So you have a design label, a designer label for this ailment?
- Yeah.
- Well, now it needs to be defended. Justified that it exists. Did it cost you dearly?
- I visited the best specialist in this field. Visiting him is not cheap, and besides, he is a professor .....
- I understand. So it is necessary to defend this belief and strengthen it.
Hmmm.
Or is it worth letting go of this belief and see what happens?
Beliefs play a big role in our health. If you have ever had an illness, and it could have been even a second ago, no matter if it was a self-diagnosis (thanks to the miracle of the Internet) or a medical diagnosis, suddenly, in some strange way, no matter what you experience in your body, now you have a designer label for it, a label from the designer. Something for which you may have paid dearly, unless it's a self-diagnosis of course. And now, because it cost you dearly, but not only because (we can also deal with the white coat authority syndrome), part of you wants to defend this diagnosis, prove that it is true, seek confirmation, justification. Instead of just taking it as a mere belief, you start making it more and more real. I am not dissuading you from seeking medical attention or following medical recommendations, but instead of seeking confirmation and belief reinforcement, I suggest you try to relieve the idea that you have a physical ailment. What you focus your attention on, it grows as the law of physics says.
When you affirm all the time, "I have this terrible disease, I have this problem, I want to get rid of it, what is this terrible disease", you make it more serious and real. And usually these designer labels have a whole list of symptoms accompanying them. And what happens most often? Even if you didn't have these symptoms on the list before, you start looking for them and somehow you find them!
If you give the mind something to do (look for symptoms) - "are these symptoms here, are they already here, do I already have them, do I already have these symptoms"? What happens then? You become very good at attracting these symptoms. And if you are very good at what you do, why would you let it go when you are such an expert? You are an expert at finding out symptoms. And that only strengthens the belief even more.
How about freeing yourself from looking for symptoms? If you want to look for something, look for a time when there are no symptoms. You will realize that most of the time there are no symptoms. Even if we are dealing with a serious, chronic disease. And I'm not denying what's going on in your body, I'm just showing that what you focus on grows in your consciousness (quantum physics, observer's law).
So better to magnify your symptoms or maybe no symptoms? Look after your body as it needs it, but instead of looking for and waiting for symptoms, pay attention to what's before and after the symptom. Look for what is healthy in your body that requires even more love and attention from you.
You know it?
So, what's your designer label that you defend?
