Day 231

I have suffered with chronic sinus infections for years. A few weeks ago I read something about autoimmune disorders which cause the body to attack itself. The body, or at least parts of the body are inflamed. Sinus problems like mine are one example.

I have tried to unlock the mystery of this illness for years. What caused it? How can it be cured? Suddenly the key turned, the tumblers clicked into place. My body is inflamed. My body is attacking itself. It is a wake up call. I need to take better care of myself, particularly when it comes to diet. Suddenly I was ready to make the changes necessary to heal.

I wanted to heal before but I wasn't ready to make the needed changes. A desire for healing is almost never enough - I have to be willing to invest in my healing. Perhaps I wasn't willing to do that until I was absolutely convinced that there was no other way. I almost always prefer a quick fix or miracle cure to good old fashioned hard work.
