Attitude!

While "Attitude" is not everything, it sure can help!

First, a person must come to terms with the fact that you now have Parkinson's Disease, and it's not going to go away. You, like me, are stuck with it. There may be a cure sometime down the road, but nobody knows when that will be. In the meantime we have to make the best of it.

ACCEPT IT!
The sooner you do this, the better off you will be. Nobody said it was going to be easy!

CHOOSE!
After your diagnosis has been confirmed, and a second opinion obtained, you have a choice. You can choose to accept, and make the best of it, or you can choose to "fight" it.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE!
The Mind, the Body, and the Spirit are one! To hurt one, is to hurt them all. If you choose not to accept the fact that you have Parkinson's, and after a reasonable period, dwell in anger and self pity you are going to burden your Mind and Spirit as well as your body.
Which is only going to make life harder for you.

Anger is a natural human emotion, and if not allowed to become a habit, does no great harm. However if allowed to become constant, like any other negative emotion, it becomes destructive to your Trinity. Most, if not all, negative emotions create stress and tension.

Stress and tension are the last things a person with Parkinson's needs. Stress upsets your body, which upsets your stomach, which decreases the quality of your life. As your stomach goes ....... so goes your day.
