To steal a quote from Jillian Michaels ‘if you fight for those limitations you get to keep them’ so despite the fact that I now have the rare autoimmune condition called scleroderma & Raynaud’s phenomenon - I am in true black belt spirit trying to work out ways to fight against the potential limitations others might try and foist on me or get me to feel limited by the diagnosis I now have. Despite my condition I have persevered to find ways of managing it in order to pursue some personal goals. One of which was gaining my CBT certification - it may be a while before I would be able to ride the type of bike next to me ( that belongs to my husband) but to quote Lao Tzu ‘ every journey starts with a single step’ .i hope my post might afford a glimmer of hope to others who may have found themselves with a similar diagnosis who is ready to try and keep doing the things they want to for as long as they can & to avoid being sucked into a place where all you hear is what you can’t do rather than encouraging you to find out what you might be able to.
