I was on the sofa most of the day, not really eating , I couldn't be bothered to get showered most days because of the pain and I suppose a bit of depression . I was feeling very low. Up until now I also have sciatica . I wasn't going out and was sleeping most of the time because at night my sleep was disturbed because of the pain and restless legs . I was and still am on long term sick , this condition has taken my work life and social life . I was always very active .
I have worked for 50 years and I am retiring this August . I have always been a positive, outing ,life and soul of the party type person I never said no or stayed in the house . I have also been practising self development for over 30 years but with all this I have never felt so negative. You can imagine how I was feeling with all this, totally frustrated.
Then a phone call from Lucia from CMPT changed all that . She is a lovely lady she listened to my story and its because of her and this program that I am off the sofa and eating better healthier , my space at home is neat and tidy . She made me see how I can manage this condition and it doesn't have to be this way . Lucia also reminded me of mind body connection, stuff I already knew but had completely forgotten about . Lucia got me back to my self development She reminded me of how strong I am and how I can have a life with this condition if I manage it correctly . Don't get me wrong I'm not going mountain walking any more I know my limits but I am getting out and if I need to stop and rest I do and that's OK . Because of Lucia and this program I can see a future a life all be it a different one than before but that's OK. Lucia made me see that .
Thank you so much Lucia you will never know how much you have done for me I really can't thank you enough .
Love and light .
