What I’ve learned from being diagnosed with a chronic disease
I always planned out my life. I knew where I wanted to be and who I wanted to be. And if I didn't, I made it up according to what was expected of me by others. I always had a 1-year, 5-year and 10-year plan which included goals to achieve and careers to pursue. My life was basically on auto-pilot as I strived to meet my own model of perfection: being a well-educated, high-powered entrepreneur with a loving husband, 2 kids and a dog with, of course, a comfortable home in suburbia.

So as not to flounder, it’s always useful to have a plan, especially when it comes to your wellness.

Imagine your life changing in the blink of an eye almost as if you’ve been sucker-punched with the wind knocked out of you. You find yourself feeling like you’re lying flat on your back staring at the ceiling as if the proverbial rug was pulled out from under you. Right now you are asking yourself, “Why me? Why now?” This is a normal occurrence among us mere mortals and the last time this happened to me I stopped asking, “Why me?” and started asking, “What’s NEXT?”
