I have to share a web site with you, Beat Chronic Illness.com. Just because I’m intrigued with the concept of “beating” this thing called chronic illness.
I don’t talk with my clients about the illness part of their issues much — but we do talk a lot about their attitude.

I’m all for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that can help people keep going and not letting this thing, chronic illness, take over their lives. And, especially, go on being productive contributors — even in this dysfunctional world we live in.

‘Winning’ and ‘beating’ are words that spark competition for me. I have a friend who makes a list everyday of all the activities she wants to accomplish and tracks the time each day it takes to complete these activities. She enjoys being competitive with herself trying to finish faster than the day before. The way she helps/expands herself is with self competition which works very well for her. Competition can be a very strong motivator for inividuals and I remember my friend everytime I read or hear someone say they want to beat their illness or win their life back. As a coach I offer ways to expand the persons view of winning to include learning what they need and how to ‘win’ by doing and what helps them. Often this includes having the strength to say to others I need help for this activity or function and to ask with the ease to asked for any office equipment or supplies. Winning or beating is the unerstanding we reach when living/doing in or lives becomes the thought. What next great idea or talent can we share with a little help.

That’s an interesting take on “beating” — winning. I believe you have to find whatever “floats the boatI” to get to that place.
