There is nothing wrong with you! This is an important topic and has come up quite a bit on recent coaching sessions. I have referred people to a blog post series I did last year. Today, all of you are receiving a refresher on knowing that there is nothing wrong with you!
Harmfulness of negative emotions and thoughts against yourself
When you express negative emotions, self-judgment, and self-criticism, you are harming yourself. Emotional stress, anger, frustration, and resentment harm your liver. Fear, worry, and anxiety harm your kidneys.
Self-judgment and self-criticism are nothing more than repeating somebody else’s words against yourself. They make you feel unworthy and not deserving; they interfere with self-love and being kind and compassionate to yourself, which also interferes with taking positive action in furtherance of your recovery.
Refresher: There is nothing wrong with you, posts 1-4
Read these now. There is no hurry to get to the end of this blog post. You are worth whatever time it takes you to read each of these posts. They will make the remainder of todays blog post more meaningful for you.

Parkinson’s is a symptoms that life got out of balance
Instead of looking at Parkinson’s as a dreaded disease and having fear about everything unpleasant you have been told will happen, make a shift and see Parkinson’s for what it actually is:
Parkinson’s is a symptom that life got out of balance.
Life did not get out of balance, physically, mentally, and spiritually by you doing anything bad or wrong. Life got out of balance while we were living life the way everybody told us we were supposed to be living life.
Here is an excerpt from from my book, Fighting Parkinson’s…and Winning:
I had made adjustments in my life to my essence, my authentic self, and I had become a version of me that was not the true essence of my inner being, my soul. However, it is what worked in my life, so I thought. In my recovery, I had to admit to myself that I was out of balance in my life. Did I do it on purpose? Of course not. It happened while I was living life the way I thought life was supposed to be lived. There is no shame, no blame, no finger-pointing, no fault, no guilt in getting Parkinson’s.
Restoring balance with the Recipe
As you know, the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® is a soul, mind, and body recovery protocol that restores balance to your life.
Body. If you can walk and you can bring food to your mouth, then there is nothing wrong with you physically. If your arms and legs were broken (something physically wrong with you), you would not be walking or bringing food to your mouth.
The issues in Parkinson’s physically are needing to clean toxins from your body, needing to heal your organs, and needing to get the correct electricity to your limbs. If the electricity goes out in your home because of a power company outage, there is nothing wrong with your lightbulbs and appliances, they just are not getting the correct amount of electricity. Once the electricity is restored, everything works just as good as before.
Mind. There is nothing wrong with you mentally. You are a brilliant person, you have a sharp mind, and you think clearly. Fear, anxiety, anger, frustration…these are emotions you have acquired based upon events in your life.
They are taught and learned behaviors, marketed and reinforced behaviors; they are not you. They throw off your electrical flow and increase the symptoms. Over time, you will learn to stop judging and criticizing yourself, you will learn to rid yourself of responding to these emotional triggers, and then, your electricity will flow smoothly.
Soul. There is nothing wrong with you. You are a luminous soul, a radiant spiritual being in a human existence, and Parkinson’s does not touch your soul.
You are abundantly healthy in your soul. You are special simply because you exist, a precious being beyond the comprehension of the mind…feel your own luminosity to the depths of your soul!
As you can see, short and to the point, there is nothing wrong with you. Parkinson’s is a symptom that you have gotten out of balance in life. If you are doing the Recipe, then you are giving your soul, mind, and body the tools and materials to heal you, restore balance to your life, and repair your electrical flow…that is called recovery!
Here are affirmations to assist you with knowing that there is nothing wrong with you. Positive affirmations will get rid of years of negative thoughts in a rather short amount of time because they resonate with your soul, you, your essence of who you are, and they erase the negative mind conditioning you have received in your life.
You need to be relentless in repeating positive affirmations. Let’s all get together and stay in the moment, this moment, right here, right now, and do it.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!!
Okay! Everybody together so that we rock the world as one enormous positive vibration:

Howard, this post and the four posts referenced in it say it all about recovery and self-love. Thank you for being so thoughtful for putting these together. So often, I forget (or my ego mind kicks in) and get momentarily lost. Then, I affirm my gratitude and my healing and I am back on track.
