I was first diagnosed with MS in early 2001. Once I learned that I had the disease, I became very afraid of loosing my physical ability. I began doing everything I could to maintain the health of my body and even took up triathlons.
Several years later I was invited to participate in the Landmark Forum by a friend of mine. When I took the course, I had no expectation that it would help with MS. Nonetheless, I found the experience of the Landmark Forum to be very useful and valuable. I took a few other courses with Landmark Education and had a powerful insight: No matter what happens to my body through the disease, it does not inherently have anything to do with how I approached life.
From there, I began to see how my own attitude and the meaning that I added to having the disease had a real impact on the symptoms and me in my life. In fact, I have not had any MS attacks (exacerbations) or active symptoms since 2005 and the MS lesions (scars) in my brain have all shrunk. If you'd like to see more about my diagnosis & past treatments, go to MSHealthyTriathlete and watch 1st & 2nd videos.
I'm creating a health training & speaking company and writing a book, please e-mail me at chillpeaceofmind.com for more information.
