I work as a nurse. I find myself sharing this with some clients exploring "scary health challenges". Can't recall where I picked it up from. I only use it in situations where it FEELS appropriate to try, maybe I sense the person might be receptive to other options. It's NOT a blanket statement I say to everyone.
"If you are alive, breathing, & thinking you have MORE things going right inside your body than the 1 or 2 things that appear to be going wrong."
To me it feels like slightly cracking a door another can go into if they are so inclined
What does this provoke in you? we have such lovely multidimensional conversations here. All perspectives are valued.
Hi Sabrina. Firstly, I have high regard and appreciation for the nursing profession, so thank you for your service and answering that call.
If your intention is to bring comfort and offer a more positive perspective, then the right words will come in any situation. The healing presence and giving of care in whatever manner is needed can do wonders. The interactions you have are all co-creations. Yes? 💓
