How To Handle Change - Illness
George is stuck in the hospital with an illness and doesn’t know what to do. He luckily gets a visit from the Self-Esteem Angel and Angel Aain.
An uplifting conversation takes place where they talk about a variety of things. Some of these include: how to deal with the fears, anxieties and worries; ideas to deal with the boredom; how illness changes life; why learning to cry is important; how fear keeps you from getting better; ways to heal and get strength into your body; and more.
George commits to passing on these lessons to other children in the hospital. He learns how sharing these lessons can lead to helping millions of children.
Read some excerpts:
“I told him that his friends would still be there when he was well again. I told him that having an illness does change a person’s life in many ways,” explained Aain. “His day-to-day routine will be different. Depending on how long he’s sick, he might have to make some adjustments in his life.”
…
Aain said proudly, “I told him he had to make sure that he didn’t do anything that could set him back or try to do too many things when he started to get better.”
…
“So, I need to listen to my Mom when she says I can’t do things, yet,” George said as he made a face.
The Angel chuckled and said, “Yes, this is a time when you do need to listen to your Mom when she says it’s too soon to do things.”
The Angel continued, “Your Mom will be more cautious and protective of you, which is expected Mom behavior. But, with this type of illness it is better to be cautious and not get worse.”
George rolled his eyes as he said, “Well, my Mom will be happy to hear that!”
The Self-Esteem Angel laughed and said, “Sometimes it’s hard to admit our parents are right.”
…
The Angel nodded in agreement and said, “That’s what I call a ‘good distraction’. It’s important for us to identify what those are in our lives. It helps us deal with all the different kinds of change that can happen. It also keeps our mind off our symptoms and pain.”
“So, a ‘good distraction’ can be something like watching a funny movie,” said George.
“Exactly,” affirmed the Angel.
“There are a whole bunch of funny movies here at the hospital that I can watch,” said George.
“Most hospitals have a variety of activities and special events that are fun and positive to help children take their mind off their illness. There are also many resources like books and support groups, so explore and find out what these are.”
…
“Well, George, teaching lessons on how to handle life is my purpose,” said the Self-Esteem Angel. “It’s a powerful way to build confidence and self-esteem.”
“What does self-esteem have to do with being sick?” asked George.
The Self-Esteem Angel explained, “When you have positive self-esteem, you like and respect all parts of who you are. You will realize how important it is to take better care of your health and well-being.”
The Angel continued, “Feeling confident that you can deal with an illness, keeps you from focusing on your fears, anxieties and worries about what’s happening. This gives your body a better chance to heal by keeping your mind and heart focused on the positives…”
“Most people don’t realize that holding on to fearful thoughts takes a lot of energy. This reduces the amount of healing energy their body has available to use.”
“Your body needs large amounts of energy for it to rebuild cells. That is why most healing happens…”
