🌸Recovery wasn't a cure. Once I organized my way of living, my body started moving too
Gratitude doesn't come 'after you get better.' Gratitude is what made me better.
I always thought I could be grateful only after I recovered.
But in reality, it was the opposite.
'Happy, fun, thank you'
This rhythm is what organized my body and my life.
This time, I will write about the axis of life I gained during my recovery,
**'Happy, fun, thank you.'**
For me, this wasn't just a philosophy; it was a realization born from experience.
It was the 'way to organize life itself' that I finally reached after living 25 years in treatment, anxiety, and endurance.
The me who couldn't say thank you
I'll be honest.
For a long time, I was in no state to say thank you.
・My body hurts
・I can't move as I want
・The treatment never ends
・I can't see a future
・I can't feel hope
What was there wasn't hope, but only 'patience' and 'effort'.
'If I just keep trying, I'll reach the goal someday.'
That was all I could believe.
But my heart was screaming the whole time.
'I'm so tired'
'How much longer?'
'Why only me?'
Back then, before gratitude, I was filled with screams.
My life stopped with the words 'It won't heal'
The words told to me by my doctor.
'This illness will not heal, you know.'
For a moment, time stopped.
And at the same time, I felt my heart growing cold.
'Then what have I been working so hard for these 25 years?'
Having entrusted my hope to treatment, I lost my way.
But that was where it started.
The resolve totake responsibilityfor my own life began to sprout.
When I organized my body, space was created in my heart
Herb fasting, detoxing, vibration adjustment.
As my body gradually loosened up,
changes also occurred in my heart.
It's strange.
When the body loosens,
thoughts also loosen.
When thoughts loosen,
I can return to 'here and now'.
And then I realized.
I had only been looking at 'what I didn't have'.
But I was also able to properly find 'what I did have'.
Perhaps I was trying to heal not just my body,but my life itself.
Happy, fun, and thank you were the 'breath of recovery'
As recovery progressed, moments like these increased.
・I was able to move a little today (happy)
・I was able to take a walk (fun)
・I was able to sleep (thank you)
・I was able to see my family's smiles (thank you)
・I was able to stay without blaming myself (happy)
These 'small joys' were definitely increasing.
And I realized.
"Happy, fun, and thank you" is the breath of recovery.
Every time you inhale, your body awakens, and every time you exhale, your mind relaxes.
When this rhythm returns, the body feels safe, and recovery progresses.
Gratitude brings the future to you sooner
I used to think like this:
"I'll be grateful once I get better."
"I'll smile once I'm cured."
"I'll enjoy life once I'm healthy."
But during my recovery, I experienced the exact opposite.
Because I am grateful, my mind relaxes.
Because my mind relaxes, my body relaxes.
Because my body relaxes, recovery progresses.
Gratitude comes first. Recovery comes later.
Gratitude was not the result, but the cause.
Self-affirmation supported my recovery
What I cherish every day now is
acknowledging my own worth (self-affirmation).
・I am alive today
・I am breathing today
・I did my best today
It is the accumulation of these small realizations that I once took for granted.
And then, turning those realizations into action.
Action becomes results.
Results become joy.
Joy becomes fun.
Fun leads to "thank you."
When this cycle began to turn,
I reclaimed my life.
Conclusion: I am now in a rhythm of gratitude
For 25 years, I lived in patience and effort.
But it is different now.
I adjust my body, create space in my mind, and
find and expand "happy, fun, and thank you"
in my daily life.
I want to tell the me from back then:
"It's okay. Your choices were not wrong."
"Because of that pain, I am here now."
"The me of today is enjoying life, is smiling."
Postscript for the reader (to you)
If you are suffering right now,
you don't have to force yourself to be grateful.
Just try one thing.
Please say this to yourself today:
"You're doing your best."
"Thank you."
Just that will relax your mind a little.
Relaxation is the gateway to recovery.
