Jena's Story of Conquering Chronic Pain (Part 1)
This is my Story of Severe Chronic Pain and Depression, Unraveling the Truth Behind Chronic Pain, and Finding Nothing but Light at the End of the Tunnel!
This ISN'T just a story of pain, finding hope, and finding the right treatment that only works for me.
This IS a story about finding the truth out about chronic illnesses – that most people don’t know. It’s about finding a successful alternative treatment that can help a lot of people who suffer from a chronic illness to get their life back. IF they can be open-minded.
By: Jena, Hope Instilled, Inc.
My body healed from ongoing horrible stomach pain, fatigue, constant migraines, back pain, neck pain, chest pain, depression, sleep problems, and severe food allergies. My doctor also sent me to a hormone specialist and that has improved, as well. I feel normal 95% of the time. My pain levels were normally in the 6-8 range, and now I’m usually at a 0 on the pain scale.

Discovering Alternative Treatments:
Muscle Testing
What is Muscle Testing?
From: Hope Instilled
 Muscle testing is a tool that can be used to find the root cause as to why an organ or body system is out of balance, whether it’s dietary, a nutritional deficiency, nerve tissue damage, or a chemical imbalance.
Practitioners find the areas of the body that create muscle weaknesses, and then correct those weaknesses by providing supplements and dietary changes. Once the problem with the associated internal organ is resolved, the body will have the ability to heal itself, and the muscle will no longer be weak. Muscle Testing can help to some degree with any chronic illness.
Learn more about what is is, how it works, how it helps with chronic pain, how safe it is, the history of it, scientific proof, how to find a good practitioner, and what to expect at the initial appointment on our website.

Exploring Wellness: Mental Health
Being chronically sick, it is very easy for our thoughts about ourselves to turn negative. These are some awesome tips for turning those thoughts around.
6 Ways to Stop (Mentally) Beating Yourself Up
By: Psychology Today
 Developing a balanced, realistic view of yourself takes curiosity and commitment. You must be willing to look at the ways in which you
talk to and appraise yourself, and change those habits. But it's worth it. Healthy self-appraisal is associated with reduced depression and anxiety, more satisfying relationships, and improved overall quality of life.
Step 1. Listen to your self-talk. Most of us talk to ourselves—narrating our successes and failures—all day. This streaming commentary, which cognitive behavioral therapists call "self-talk," is usually internal and automatic—we're often not aware that it's going on at all.
When you spill your coffee, do you declare yourself a slob who ruins everything, or do you laugh it off? When a friend compliments your clothes, do you think, "I feel great in this!" or wonder if they are implying that your clothes are usually frumpy? The first step to changing how you view yourself is to listen to how you talk to yourself.
