I Love Myself Anyway

I Love Myself Anyway

I sometimes find myself saying something I wish I had never said … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself judging others harshly … I love myself anyway

I sometimes whisper to myself that I’m not worthy … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself wishing I did not live with a chronic condition … I love myself anyway

I sometimes speak too much when I’m sharing my stories … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself thinking I might fail at something I try to do … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself thinking that if I say what’s on my mind, people might not like me … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself taking others for granted … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself worrying about things that probably won’t really happen … I love myself anyway

I sometimes say what I think the other person wants to hear rather than speaking what’s true to me … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself not saying anything when I know I really need to speak up … I love myself anyway

I sometimes find myself thinking that I’ve never really taken the time to love myself … I love myself anyway

I know that I’m only human and these things happen to all of us … And I love myself

No matter which of these things may happen, my mother and my father love me anyway

And so do I

The key to health and happiness begins on the inside

Love yourself first

Ken Jaques describes himself as a Health Care Evolutionary, Community Builder, and Speaker. True healing begins when we treat root causes instead of just masking symptoms. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2008, Ken has experienced many facets of the health care system. As “the only patient who ever lost their hair on this low of a dosage of chemotherapy” – as spoken by his rheumatologist – Ken has been on an amazing journal of self-discovery, a journey of true healing. In his blog, Ken shares stories of how his beliefs have changed over the past few years, and how they are still changing. Is it possible that our bodies can heal themselves? Do we really have to live without hope after we receive a chronic illness diagnosis? These are the types of questions that Ken encourages people to ask themselves as they embark on their own physical or emotional healing journey.

Ken is creating a platform to connect People, Patients, Practitioners, Partners and Promoters, enabling a collaborative effort to help shift the focus on health from I-llness to We-llness. Check out the pilot at www.myHealthyCommunity.ca.

“When ‘I’ is replaced with ‘we’, even I-llness becomes WE-llness” ~ Malcolm X
