Dear World
This mini presentation offers us some sensible Questions to consider when it comes to preparing as many of us are not aware of the consequences when we do not prepare.
An example –
We are diagnosed and the medics have advised us that our symptoms are serious and we will need to have surgery.
Firstly, how prepared were we to hear that news or was it like a shrug it off-too busy-it has to wait-got-a-holiday booked-soon-may-as-well-live-as-I-want-damn-the-body-for-stopping-me-living-my-wayward-life?
OR
Are we taking it on and PREPARING for surgery by getting our body into a fitter state than it currently is, so we can maximise our chances of healing faster and without the Complications that seem to come post-surgery?
Are we refusing to even admit that our body is not in its true natural state and therefore some correction is being offered by way of illness and disease that needs surgery? Then let’s not be surprised what that refutation will bring.
What if our body is simply communicating and we need to listen and correspond accordingly – not Ignore it any longer?
Of course, things happen when we don’t want it because it’s the wrong timing for us – like we got that expensive Holiday booked or we got a big wedding or Birthday celebration and we are the celebrity guests there.
For others, it could be the devastation of knowing that we are not prepared financially to have any time off work and the medical insurance payments are in itself a bigger issue than the actual surgery.
For some, we dread the thought of the school routine being disturbed or the kids not being sure what is happening to us and why we are going into hospital for surgery.
We could be in so much reaction at hearing our diagnosis and treatment that we simply cannot settle and so our body is in a state of Stress and that internal shudder that we call Anxiety.
We maybe the type that likes to circulate our private news with our drama llama chitta (chit chat) and we forget that if we spent that time zipping up and preparing – the outcome could be different?
What if ALL the above would Change if we made some different movements?
In other words, we take note that no matter how big or small our diagnosis is, our body has the ability to heal if we ensure we take deep care of it from the moment we know what is coming – in this case surgery.
Our movements mean – our behaviour needs to Change.
That is the first and foremost lesson in preparing and this can be applied to absolutely anything that has been presented earlier in this article.
If we like to indulge in nonsense, purpose-less activities and not take any care of our body and carry on as we have been living up until the point of the diagnosis, then we can be assured our body will not be in a PREPARED state when it goes into hospital.
What would be a sensible approach is to immediately take the steps to Change our Lifestyle.
Early bed every single day and stay Consistent.

Prepare for Bed and if some practical tips are needed we have it on this website – click the hyperlink.
If we are addicted to our Caffeine and sugar and Alcohol and over-eating and Fast Foods or fine dining or over-working – then time we made some sensible adjustments now.
Delay today means we will continue on the “ill” trajectory as there has been no Real and True Change.
We could look at how physically active we are. This is not the time to hit the gym or sign up for classes and have a rapid weight loss or anything stupid like that.
This is about going for a walk daily and breathing your own breath – some time out, walking with just your body and reflecting on how you have got to this point.
If the symptoms mean there is little movement possible, then stay physically active by making Gentle movements in the home environment. Housework and general house jobs are movements that have purpose and this will support the body.
The above is taken from our booklet – Preparing for Surgery©
We will publish in the coming years along with more from our Preparing© series.
Until that time – there is absolutely heaps of Articles on this website to make sensible lifestyle adjustments that are needed if we are ready to live Another Way.
