Fighting Parkinson's Drug Free

On January 1, 2023, I announced this year as the year of change. I mentioned that I realized that in order to have my full recovery, I needed to change, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Today, we will address mental change.

Happy New Year, 2023!!! As we wound down 2022, a year of many challenges, we closed that door to the past. It is January 1, 2023, and the sun is rising to awaken us to 2023 and the possibilities that lie ahead. For each and every one of you, this is a new year, a new breath of fresh air, and a new outlook: 2023…the year of change!

Whether you are celebrating Christmas on Sunday, Kwanzaa on Monday, are in the middle of celebrating Chanukah, or have already celebrated Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, or whatever other holiday you may be celebrating, one thing we all have in common, we all are brought to this blog as a result of Parkinson’s. This holiday season, let’s be grateful for each day of our lives and be grateful for each other.

As we head further into the holiday season, it is important for each and every one of you to know that you are special simply because you exist. People have been telling me about their social anxiety as they get closer to seeing family and friends for the holidays. Your best defense to social anxiety is knowing that you are special and then smiling at everybody. Today is a reminder that you are very special!

As we head into the end of the year and the joyous holiday season, I want to provide you with more tools for repairing your Parkinson’s, which I see as a symptom of a life out of balance…physically, mentally, and spiritually. 

Last month, I made a big push with my November to Remember, No Excuses November, 30-day challenge 2022 to do a modified version of the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® for 30 days. The 30 days ended yesterday, November 30, 2022. So, what’s next? Where do you go from here?

As we enter the final day of my November to Remember, No Excuses November, 30-day challenge 2022, I am happy to have heard that many of you had very positive experiences, including when seeing family and friends during the Thanksgiving holiday, whether in person or on video conferences. This is quite wonderful. So, you wonder, what’s next?

Congratulations — you are in the final week of the November to Remember, No Excuses November, 30-day Challenge 2022 to do the scaled-down version of the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®. Also, here in the States, we are having our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. 

Today is the 17th day of my 30-day November to Remember, No Excuses November, Challenge 2022! Click here to review the challenge. At this point in time thirteen years ago today, I was not feeling very well. Here is an excerpt from my Parkinson’s daily journal from thirteen years ago today:
