Misunderstanding and Critique:
The boys at Staples cant of been serious when coming up with their marketing icon, the ‘easy’ button, and then trying to sell it as a product for people to buy as well. When I’m without a pencil I don’t reach over and press a red button labeled ‘easy’, close my eyes and relax before everything suddenly becomes ok. ...


Personal Comment:

RELEVANCY:
For a person with CFS-ME, it is important to acknowledge those activities which one DOES. It is far too easy for the overachiever and highly active person to minimize their much reduced frequency and strength of activities during illness. Shaming and guilting oneself for being ill only serves to further labor one's immune system and encourage deeper illness and slower recovery. This small item can challenge one to recognize this weakness and reduce it, IF used to applaud and encourage what one IS doing.

Be open to other options which may be more suitable for you PERSONALLY.
My wife was later Guided to purchase a multiple CD and musical keyring package at a local discount store. She found the CD music inspiring for her. I found the keyring-music a more effective short inspiration I could use. The package cost $5.00 I do not provide a Profile for it as it is no longer listed as available or in production by the manufacturer. You can be sensitive to what becomes available to and for you, and obtain and make use of that.

I DO state that this option/awareness can be effective for many persons who have more singular or less devastating forms of ill health, including a number of cancers. CFS-ME is defined by a person acquiring any 5 or more of 13 specific acute expressions of chronic illnesses. I have experienced significant health improvement personally from this awareness, approach, product or service, and/or, witnessed a number of other people benefiting from it.

Strengths often become weaknesses when applied to extremes or in situations where they are not relevant. Even as complexity in a reality which is singular is foolish and wasteful, simplicity in a reality of complexity is destructive and often deadly.

The information on this page may be relevant for you now, or, tomorrow, or, later, or, never. Consider that it will be relevant for friends and/or relatives and that YOUR mention of it to them provides them with an opportunity for them to decide for themselves if it is something they wish to consider, or, if they also would like to share it with others. YOU can make a positive difference in the world of tomorrow.


Advisory:

Always remember, just because anything is on paper or in print, there is no one forcing you to read it or believe it. Neither does it have any authority over you in the context of asserting that it is factual, the truth, or relevant for YOU. God gave you a brain with the capacity of discernment and CHOICE. Learn to use it so that you can be the director of YOUR life and the author of YOUR biography. What is on these pages is an invitation to Open some doors and consider some options for the strengthening of YOUR life and the Recovery, or, sustaining of YOUR health. It is YOUR choice what you do with it.

This document is a personal record being shared with you as an introduction to health recovery from multiple acute symptom chronic illnesses. For more complete information which may be relevant for you personally, follow the links to those pages most relevant for you, or look further on the Internet.

This is a personal recommendation based upon successful experience.
This options/this discernment I have found to be beneficial for myself and others.
You have the benefit of utilizing them as early as you become aware of them.
I did not have such a Toolbag. I muddled and searched my way through until Recovery.

I have since gone back, and with Spiritual Guidance, made a format out of the pieces.
Some tools and benefits I defined AFTER Recovery in order to SUSTAIN recovery.
Many people who have Recovered from CFS-ME cannot revisit the illness experience without sacrificing their recovery. With the help of Spiritual Forces and a supportive partner, I did that in order to outline and provide this and other tools for YOUR Recovery, and to sustain my own. Make it worth the effort. I am.

Always be sure to muscle test or use Spiritual Guidance to determine if it is applicable to you, or for someone else from whom you have the permission to ask for, at the time of your interest.

Note that muscle testing can be subverted by strong and immature identity factors (Ego or SuperEgo, or, both). Note that some options are best for us at some times or in a sequence with other skills, attitudes, therapies or products, rather than at all times. Some, are simply beneficial for gaining and maintaining optimal health.
