Stronghold of Hope

Keeping a journal is a good way of keeping track of your progress. As you heal and begin to feel healthy again, you will forget how bad your condition really was; therefore, in my opinion, it is important to keep a journal every few weeks to a month or more frequently, if you chose. This will be a great source of encouragement for you during the healing process or when experiencing a particularly difficult period. Journals are especially beneficial to those dealing with MS as the evidence of their healing is much slower due to the devastation of that disease on the entire body.

For MS individuals as your first entry, sign your name as it would appear on a check or legal document. Then write a paragraph from a book or newspaper. This will show you how your writing will improve as the months click by. At this point, if writing is difficult, someone else can write down your words regarding the remaining suggestions. Next write down what colors look like to you, noting how vibrant they appear to you, the tones they have in them, if they look hot or cold, etc. You might want to do this using the t.v. Be sure to include your overall impressions of your life due to your disease. Then, make a list of things that you can no longer do at all, including working, household activities, cooking, moving parts of your body, etc. Next, make a list of things you can do but need help with, like dressing yourself, getting in and out of bed, into a vehicle, etc. Lastly, make a list of things that you can still do but that may take you longer now to do because of the progression of your MS. Try to write a time estimate down of how long it takes you to do the activity. Be as complete in your journal in the beginning as possible with this first entry.

For individuals with all other diseases as your first entry, make a list of the various difficulties you have associated with your disease, especially include how far your illness has progressed, noting levels of pain, weakness, loss of mobility, loss of appetite, etc. Then, make a list of things that you can no longer do at all, including working, household activities, cooking, moving parts of your body, etc. Be sure to include your overall impressions of your life due to your disease.

Everyone should update this journal at least twice a month. It is very important to note improvements in your condition as well as your overall impressions of your life at the time of each entry. Remind yourself of the small improvements, as well as any large ones. Please keep in mind that it will not be one giant step that tells you that you are getting better.
