Radical Self-Care When You Are Ill

I am so excited to share my card deck, Radical Self-Care When You Are Ill: 52 Skills and Affirmations to Help You Restore Your Well-Being: Physical, Emotional and Mind-Body-Spirit. It has been many years in the making and fulfills a promise I made to God many years ago.

These skills and affirmations are designed to help those who feel like they’ve tried everything but are still suffering with mysterious illness, chronic illness such as Fibromyalgia, arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety and illness that has been deemed terminal. These skills and affirmations tap into the power of the mind and spirit to help restore physical, emotional and mind-body-spirit well-being. They are also a great resource for medical and mental health professionals. Plus, they include 9 skills commonly used by those who experience remission from cancer.

In fact, the skills will help anyone who is experiencing any type of illness or sickness to restore their well-being.

Watch how amazingly it works on the deckible app!

Chances are you or someone you know could use these skills!

The card deck, containing 52 wide-ranging self-care skills, is divided into four main sections and is color coded as follows:

A few sample cards:

A truly radical approach is required to successfully deal with physical or emotional illness. This approach involves using a comprehensive set of self-care skills specifically designed to meet the needs of those who are ill and that tap into the power of the mind and spirit to promote well-being. It also means making some changes in existing thought patterns, examining beliefs, taming emotions and adopting new habits and behaviors to take the utmost care of oneself.

The Radical Self-Care When You Are Ill: 52 Skills and Affirmations to Help You Restore Your Well-Being card deck provides you with exactly these kinds of self-care skills that empower you to radically transform your healing journey and your life. They include proven skills from the fields of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine and Spirituality as well as Affirmations for Healing that help you restore all aspects of your well-being including physical, emotional and mind-body-spirit. They also include skills common to those who experience radical remission of cancer.

The Radical Self-Care When You Are Ill: 52 Skills and Affirmations to Help You Restore Your Well-Being card deck was born out of my personal journey and my life’s work. I had been ill with mysterious symptoms that doctors couldn’t figure out, diagnose or effectively treat for more than 15 years. Eventually diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Leaky Gut and Chemical Sensitivities I found a variety of traditional and alternative treatments that gradually helped. Incorporating mindfulness and meditation into my daily life and learning about the power of our thoughts and divine connection in creating well-being were central components of my healing.

My journey through illness transformed me as a human and spiritual being and changed everything about my life. This included where I lived, my marriage, my career, my knowledge about nutrition, my ability to deal with the medical and alternative medical community, using mindfulness and meditation in my healing journey, deepening my faith and spirituality, strengthening my mental health, and expanding my self-awareness and self-care.

One night in the midst of my chronic illness, from a place of deep dark despair I prayed (yet again) and asked God to please help me get well. As always, I thanked God for helping me get well. This night I went further. I promised God that when I got well, I would write about the skills I learned through my healing journey to help people who were dealing with illness in the hopes that using these skills would make their journey much easier than mine had been. I vowed to provide skills to help them take the best care of themselves during illness and help them tap into the innate power of their body to heal itself. I promised that the skills would also help them with the frustration, discouragement, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, loss, isolation and fear that so commonly accompany illness.

God answered my prayers and I got well! This Radical Self-Care When You Are Ill: 52 Skills and Affirmations to Help You Restore Your Well-Being card deck fulfills the promise I made to God.

This card deck is not about illness. It is about restoring your well-being during and throughout illness. It is about thriving and living a good life despite feeling ill. It provides skills learned the hard way through my own healing journey, from helping clients with illness (both physical and emotional) in my 25-year psychotherapy private practice, from teaching workshops and through constantly studying with leading experts and poring through the research on a wide variety of topics related to all aspects of healing. It provides evidence-based, clinically tested skills you can use every day to learn and incorporate radical self-care to help you restore your well-being when you are experiencing illness.
