I am reading a book that advised writing a mission statement as a way to increase self efficacy. Like being confident and using the placebo effect/positive thinking to your advantage. I totally believe in that stuff.
My mission statement is still under construction. Here is the first draft:
I, (beachcomber), am a daughter of God. I am a fantastic writer and speech-language pathologist, who loves children, the ocean, music, skiing, and learning new things. I am dedicated to following Heavenly Father's plan for me: To prepare myself and others for glory in heaven. I happen to have MS, but MS will not stop me from following Heavenly Father's plan for me and doing things that I enjoy, because:
-I will monitor my symptoms closely;
-I will pursue effective treatment;
-I will be more direct with my doctors;
-I will try to live in the moment; and
-I will not let stress or the fear of MS impact my happiness.
So there you go.
