A Christmas Cure for Endo?



Good mothers safeguard and lend support. So too should endo copers "mother" themselves.
   
THERE’S AN OLD LOVE SONG that goes: “Make every day Christmas for your woman.” Can you imagine having a guy like that?
     But here’s the thing, why can’t we, as whole, entire persons, take that approach to our own lives for ourselves, when coping with a chronic ailment like endometriosis?

Period neglect

     Almost every woman on Earth will have intimate, decades-long experience with menstruation. Yet, a disease connected to it remains mostly obscure and unrecognisable to the very people hardest hit by it.
     That is a disturbing indication of how little we women explore the natural, miraculous dynamics of our period and ways in which we can live better with trials it might spill our way.
     This in turn exposes how little time most of us make to truly take good and proper care of ourselves on the fronts that should really matter.

Thought, full of you


     If Christmas is about sacredness and warmth; showing appreciation and gratitude; giving meaningful gifts and “Making merry and bright,” then if we endeavor to make every day like Christmas for ourselves as we live our lives and face our challenges, well imagine what that would look like and feel like.
     Of course I do not mean in the commercial way so many people approach the season these days. I mean in the way that has as its core – as its heart impetus, the intention to demonstrate thoughtfulness.

Toward self care 

This little lass uses her power to spread the “good word” 

in song. Equally, she should be encouraged to exercise 
her power to learn, grow wiser, take care of herself 
and spread knowledge to others.
     
  Today, we are better able to ensure that future generations have greater access to information about endo than we did … than we do. Government health ministries seem to be making very little effort to effectively mass educate about the endo pandemic. But the information is out there: caringly researched, compiled and put forward by people who want to make the many different types of endometriosis pain go away. Then once we become aware, it is up to us first to change our attitudes and demonstrate thoughtfulness toward our well-being.
     The truth is that we can be better equipped than ever before to take care of ourselves as we battle endometriosis today. Learning about, then doing all the progressive healing things daily will be just like giving yourself a gift each and every day: the gift of good health.
     Sounds like Christmas to me.

In beauty may you walk
