"The one thing that gave me the initial jolt of peace despite the stress of life was Vishen Lakhiani's 6 phase meditation"

When the days seemed to drag and I felt in pain every time I woke up in the morning - that was my awakening. I knew something was wrong but the question was, why now? After 2 years of practice as a rheumatologist, did it take its toll on me as an individual practitioner? My first year as a rheumatologist was like a speed bullet. I was having crazy energy; I got involved with arts and crafts sleeping until late morning. I was enjoying for heaven's sake! SO why now again after 10 years of being diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus? Now that I have more control of my time. During the last 15 years of schooling and training to become a doctor, I would have understood if along the way I didn't make because training was something I never wanted to undergo again ever in my life. It gave me growth as a person but I would never have those moments again repeated. If I were to only gauge the feeling of stress, I would have felt that in the last 15 years especially when I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus with nephritis 10 years ago during my board exam. I would never forget the weeks before the board exam when I was reviewing. I woke up with severe joint pains, falling hair all over the place with patchy alopecia, lip sores, fever and rashes. Guess what, I wasn't even able to diagnose myself. Not until after a month when I was in so much pain and in plane going home I had to ride the wheelchair in the airport. I was so thin like a skeleton a light wind would have flown me away without effort. I wasn't depressed or sad when I knew about the disease. It became my super power not to give in. I never even thought about it during those years because I was so focused into becoming a doctor. I wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to help people and I can easily connect with their emotions. And I thought, " If I were not going to be a doctor, what else would I be?" I knew from the moment I was able to finish my internal medicine training that I was meant for something bigger than myself. I knew at that time that it was through becoming a doctor. Now, after joining Mindvalley, I am now in doubt. I still want to be a doctor but I can't imagine myself practicing until I am old. I certainly want to serve humanity but, is it through being a doctor? Now what I want to do is pursue my love for aquaponics and growing healthy food for me and the community. 

I started Mindvalley middle of 2019 and I enrolled in programs like Becoming Limitless, Lifebook Online and Lifebook Mastery. Right now I am undergoing Be Extraordinary. After Lifebook Online, it gave me the courage to redirect my life toward my Life Vision. I started with having health and fitness as my overriding goal and lead to me to reduce my clinic days to 4x a week instead of 6 time a week. I became strict with my diet and my whole physical being gradually changed to influence well the way I think and say things. But before I enrolled to Lifebook Online, the one thing that gave me the initial jolt of peace despite the stress of life was Vishen Lakhiani's 6 phase meditation. I cried the first time I did it. It was overwhelming. I learned the most important thing about gratefulness and forgiveness which was the initial fuel for me to appreciate and invest in personal growth. Mindvalley has opened my eyes to so many things I didn't know were important and even existed. Why the heck didn't I learn this in school??? Fast forward to today, I still have joint pains since it started 6 mos ago but more controlled with minimum medications. I cant even say my improvement was based on the new immunosuppressant I was taking for the past month because it's under dosed (lol). Sufficing to say, the improvement on my well being is due to my new positive outlook in life. Thank you Mindvalley! P.S. I just celebrated my 37th birthday last Feb 12. Thank you God for another year of blessings!
