Your Doctor Said-"You're Over 50 What Do You Expect?"
When your doctor throws this at you, lovingly respond with these time-tested suggestions guaranteed to empower you to hang on to your peace of mind and wellness of body.
1. Push Away All Fear Thoughts & Forgive Ignorance When you are given a diagnosis for a minor ailment and look so stunned that you get the above response from your doctor - as happened to me recently - begin this way.
Get rid of that worried look and replace it with a smile of confidence in your future. Refuse to allow any thoughts of fear to remain in your head. Think of the preacher who told the story of how we can't stop "crows" flying over our hear but we can stop them nesting in our hair.
Those "crows" are our fears and they need to be chased well away from our lives.
Once you have them on the run be sure to forgive the ignorance of your doctor. He has consulted with you for 10 minutes and has nom idea you are living proof of the fresh revelation sweeping the globe that you can be Young at Sixty.
2. Always Get a Second Opinion -Talk to a Naturopath Next you need to make it clear to the doctor that even though you are grateful for his opinion you will of course have to seek a second opinion.
The second opinion could well take the form of a consultation with a naturopath. This professional will often show a refreshing view of mature years based on "you are what you eat" rather than you are what the number attached to your birthday indicates.
3. Reinforce Your Wellness with Strong Affirmations Response three to these thoughtless words - "You're Over 50 What Do You Expect?" - is the simplest one.
And the most powerful.
Craft some passionate self- talk Bible phrases to wash away any damage the doctor did to your self-image.
Say -out loud in private - "God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind" ( 2 Tim. 1.7 )
This self-talk session will change your day.
4. Live a Lifestyle That Limits Visits to The Doctor
When your lifestyle is so healthy you need only visit the doctor occasionally any negative comments he makes will be seldom heard and of no lasting impact. You hear them as unprofessional comments from someone who is having a bad day and has no right to make them about your body.
In review remember, firstly, Push Away All Fear Thoughts & Forgive Ignorance, secondly, Always Get a Second Opinion -Talk to a Naturopath, thirdly, Reinforce Your Wellness with Strong Affirmations and, most importantly, fourthly, Live a Lifestyle That Limits Visits to The Doctor.
Follow these suggestions and you will retain that blessed assurance you are Young at Sixty.
