Managing your illness means to take responsibility for the actions that are necessary for you to cope and live life as optimally as possible within the limits you are faced with. It empowers you to improve the quality of your life, reduces helplessness and hopelessness and promotes self-confidence and self-esteem.

There are many steps one can take to manage their illness, and these steps may vary greatly from week to week or from individual to individual. But, there are several essentials that are fundamental to any health care path regardless of your diagnosis.

These essentials are:

1. Proper Nutrition

You are what you eat. What you eat has a profound impact on your mental and physical health. Eating a healthy diet is essential for optimal functioning and healing. Depending on your particular illness, this may include incorporating new foods into your diet or eliminating some favorites.

At the very least you should be eliminating things such as sugar, caffeine, refined foods and unhealthy fats and replacing these with whole foods such as vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, fruits and fresh or frozen meat and poultry.

Preferably your diet should be free of chemicals and toxins found in the average diet such as pesticides, herbicides, additives, dyes and preservatives. Healing can't take place in a body fed with unhealthy foods and neither can maximum functioning.

2. Exercise

Incorporating exercise into your life is crucial for the mind, body and soul. The body's natural release of endorphins, which occurs with exercise, provides wonderful emotional uplifts and is also a fantastic pain reliever.

In addition to reducing heart disease, building healthy bones and muscles and managing weight, it is an excellent outlet for relieving depression, anger, stress and anxiety and also boosts self-esteem and self-confidence.

Regular exercise improves energy levels, help you sleep better and more deeply, promotes healthy bowels and boosts the immune system.

3. Soul Nourishing

Feeding your soul healthy food is just as important as feeding your stomach. Find ways to nourish and replenish your soul. Participate in activities that make you feel whole, alive and one with universe.

Neglecting your soul results in loss of joy and life fulfillment. Yoga, meditation, prayer, communing with nature, music, art, writing or deep meaningful relationships are some great sources of soul food.

4. Take an Active Role in Your Health Care

You should play a central role in your health care treatment. Instead of passive compliance with doctor's orders this requires a partnership with your health care provider.

You're with your body 24 hours a day, so no one knows how your illness or treatment approaches impact you and your life, better than you do. Be an active participant in treatment approaches, pursue all possible avenues, present your physician with options.

5. Communication

Honest, direct communication with health care providers, friends, family etc., is vital to your mental and physical health as well as the quality of your relationships. You'll get the best possible care if your physician is clear about your symptoms and how the illness and treatment impacts you.

Everyone gets their needs met more effectively when there is understanding of one another and this can only occur with communication. Communication prevents misunderstandings and promotes intimacy.
