1. Wasting time and energy on things not important to me make the physical symptoms of my disability worse. This is okay. It's my gauge to seek out the happier things in life.
2. It's an effort to avoid stress like the plague but also very well worth it!
3. Hard work and difficult times will occur however my resilience and ability to bounce back will increase as I learn to take care of my mind and body.
4. Taking care of my whole self can be done by practicing gratuity, maintaining a positive attitude and taking care of my body physically.
5. If I had to treat my energy like money, I would spend it much differently on a daily basis.
6. Effort and energy spent should have a positive end result.
7. If effort and energy is spent and I know there's going to be no satisfaction.....letting go is okay.
8. Letting go means to: Say no. Walk away. This is very hard for me. But it's also essential that I pick and choose what's important to me.
9. To avoid negativity/depression - my passion and drive for something must be stronger than the physical effort I put forth.
10. I would really like the next phase of my career to focus on helping people with this.
My focus is on what it takes to have self confidence in today's society as a woman with a physical disability. I hope I can inspire and help individuals by sharing my experiences. I am an Occupational Therapist with a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have worked as a school based OT for the past 15 years and hope to share my expertise with others. I feel that maintaining a balance and holistic approach towards life's challenges is the best way to be productive, happy and successful!
