Recovery is a state of mind

Many health professionals will tell you that “mind-state” is often 50% of the reason why people undergo an effective recovery. This may partly explain the “placebo-effect” where medication with no active ingredients successfully cures people.  In some cases placebos can be very effective, within 5-10% of the performance levels of established medications.

There are now also “placebo” surgeries where no real corrective action takes place, just a minor operation. The patient is put to sleep, the troubled area is “operated on” nothing is removed or added and all is put back in place as it was before. Amazingly the result is that the patient often gets better (on the basis that the surgery has gone well).

Yes it may sound crazy, but it often works.

This is one more example of the immense power of the human mind and body to fix itself, once focused on the task. This is a powerful force for good that you need to mobilise to assist you in your recovery. In truth, it is quite difficult to assist anyone who expects recovery to just happen, or that someone else can or will do it all for them.

Thus the first step in any recovery process is to ensure that you really are in the best mind-state to get well, and that you take full responsibility for your own health. Your own belief system is a very important part of this process.

A good mind-set is: “I will get well!”

You Can Self-Heal

It is the natural state of the human body to try to heal itself. But the body does need assistance to complete a successful recovery. Some people can unwittingly undermine this process, for example with poor diet / lifestyles – but there are 101 other ways to slow a recovery.

If the placebo process teaches us anything, it is surely that the body will mend if given the right stimulus.

It is most important for you to apply all the resources of your mind and body in an on-going process of recovery. A simple, structured approach implemented on a day to day basis will create improvements that will simply astound you.
