I'm Wendy Leung, holistic, health & happiness expert, licensed acupuncturist and IBS elimination
coach.
And I was told by my doctors that my IBS was forever too, I teach my clients how to look
past that diagnosis to completely eliminate their IBS and now I'm sharing with you too.
April is IBS awareness month and usually the conversation around IBS awareness is about
how it's an invisible illness that someone you know and love probably has been struggling
with for years even though no one else can see their struggle.
It's about making people aware that IBS affects 10 to 15% of the world population and that
it's considered a chronic illness.
Even the Mayo Clinic describes IBS as a chronic condition that you'll need to manage longterm,
and if your doctor has diagnosed you with IBS then you'll have heard the same thing
from them too, but do you believe it?
Today, in the name of IBS awareness month 2019 I'm flipping over the boardroom table
and I'm starting a brand new series on overcoming IBS mindset blocks to help all of you in the
IBS community understand one thing, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not a life long condition.
If you've been watching my channel, then you know that I always say that IBS is not a forever
thing, and I've been hoping that if I say it enough times my little earworm will start
changing your perspective.
But the truth is, one of the most difficult things to change sometimes is your mindset,
and if you've been told enough times by experts that you'll have IBS forever, then your mindset
might be stuck believing it even if you don't want to.
Do you believe that there's no cure for your IBS?
Let me know by dropping a yes or no in the comments below.
So let's back it up for a sec, what do I mean when I say mindset?
Your mindset is a collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape and influence how you behave
and how you react in daily life.
Your mindset is shaped over time based on your personal experiences, what your parents
and your teachers taught you, and what you picked up from other major influences throughout
your life.
Your mindset shapes your reality, your outlook on the world, and what you believe to be true.
Researcher Carol Dweck talks about two different types of mindset, fixed mindset and growth
mindset.
People with a fixed mindset believe that things are what they are.
You're born with the skills that you have, your intelligence level, your talents, and
even your illnesses, and then you're stuck with them forever.
People with a growth mindset believe that you can learn, grow, develop, change, and
overcome any aspect of your life by putting in the effort.
So whose mindset is right?
Growth mindset, 100%.
If you've ever heard stories of people completely overcoming obstacles of horror in their lives,
then you know that it's absolutely possible to get out of situations that don't serve
you and build a better life for yourself.
Those people aren't any different from you, they've just used their growth mindset to
accomplish what they needed to do.
So why am I talking about mindset and how does it relate to your IBS recovery?
If you've watched my episode called, is IBS curable, then you've heard me explain the
Traditional Chinese Medical answer to the question in the title.
If you haven't watched it yet, then go find it after this episode, but peers, the answer
is yes, IBS is curable.
In eastern health care we understand IBS very well, which also means that we know how to
fix it too.
I've been IBS free for 15 years and all my clients are IBS free too.
Unfortunately, sometimes even though what I'm saying to you seems to make sense, your
brain won't allow you to completely believe me because you've heard the opposite thing
so many times before, so here's where your growth mindset comes in.
You could get curious, see the evidence of me in my high waisted skinny jeans, eating
all sorts of delicious food on Insta and open your mind to the possibility of that happening
for you too.
Or you could cross your arms and say, well, the other experts told me that that wasn't
true and continue to battle your IBS for the rest of your life.
Ultimately, the choice is yours.
The facts are, that IBS isn't actually a mystery.
I fully recovered from my IBS, my clients have fully recovered from IBS by following
my conquer IBS program, and you can fully recover too if you believe it's possible for
you.
One of the major blocks for IBS recovery is your own mindset, if you don't believe that
you'll actually get better, then you're not going to work very hard to prove yourself
wrong.
So moment of truth, take a deep breath, close your eyes and ask yourself this question,
do you believe that you can fully recover from your IBS?
If you don't believe it, then I invite you to do a little more digging and ask yourself
why.
Take out a piece of paper, write down all the reasons you can think of why you think
that this isn't possible and then share some of them with me below.
This limiting belief is preventing you from seeking the help that you need to really get
healthy, so I want you to do your best to overcome it.
If you do believe that you can fully recover from your IBS, then you're going to want to
get better as soon as possible so that you can move on and live a long, healthy life.
So I invite you guys to answer this question, what's the next action step that you're going
to take towards getting better?
Share that with me below too.
