As a chronic illness warrior, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to pursue our dreams while dealing with the day-to-day struggles of living with a chronic illness. However, I believe that having a chronic illness should not stop us from turning our dreams, our passions into reality. In this blog post, I want to share my journey and tips on how women with chronic illnesses can turn their dreams into reality.
The first step to turning your ambition into a dream is to believe in yourself. It can be easy to feel defeated and overwhelmed by your chronic illness, but it's important to remember that your illness does not define you. You are capable of achieving great things, despite the obstacles you may face. Believe in yourself and your abilities.
Once you believe in yourself, it's time to define your dream. What is it that you want to achieve? What are your passions and interests? Take some time to reflect on what you truly want and what makes you happy. Your dream should be something that excites you and motivates you to take action.
Breaking down your dream into smaller, manageable steps can make it less overwhelming and more achievable. Identify the steps you need to take to achieve your dream and create a plan to work towards it. Be realistic about your limitations and make adjustments as needed.
Pursuing your dreams can be challenging, especially when dealing with a chronic illness. It's important to seek support and guidance from others. Reach out to friends, family, or mentors who can offer encouragement and support. Join online communities or support groups for women with chronic illnesses who are pursuing their dreams. Consider working with a coach or therapist who can provide guidance and help you stay on track. Investing in a Coach was life changing for me. I wouldn’t have my business If I didn’t invest in a coach. I wouldn’t have trained as a coach and mentor or be able to offer services that have been a game changer for the ladies who have worked with me.
As a chronic illness warrior, taking care of yourself is super important. It should be a top priority. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being as you pursue your dreams. Create a schedule that allows for rest and self-care. Communicate your needs with your support network so they can help you. Remember that taking care of yourself will help you be more productive and successful in the long run
Finally, it's important to embrace your journey. Pursuing your dreams may not be easy, but it's a journey worth taking. Embrace the challenges and setbacks along the way as opportunities for growth and learning. There’s no such thing as bad news, it’s just feedback and never take it personally. Celebrate your progress and accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem.
I kept a diary and journalled my way through the journey. I love reading it! It helps me reflect on how far I have come and excited me about the future. You can buy a copy of my diary on the website if you’d like some inspiration.
To sum up, as a chronic illness warrior, I know how challenging it can be to turn our dreams (goals, ambitions) into a reality. But with belief in ourselves, defining our dream, breaking it down into manageable steps, seeking support and guidance, taking care of ourselves, and embracing our journey, we can achieve great things. Don't let your chronic illness stop you from pursuing your dreams.
You truly are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to!
