Last year, after I published “Cancer, Stress & Mindset,” a book about a healing mindset to best empower cancer patients, I realized that there’s a more general approach to mindset that applies to all health challenges.
While there may be elements of mindset that correspond to the ebbs and flows of specific disease states, there’s also a general mindset that applies broadly. There are also three common obstacles to adopting a foundational healing mindset.

Not Knowing Enough

This is the simplest (but not always the easiest) block to rectify when adopting a healing mindset. It entails not having the proper diagnosis with which to align one’s efforts. Deriving the right course of treatment takes a combination of a patient’s insights mirrored by the experience of a trusted health care provider.
