Access to health care is important to your well-being and it is important that you know how to
use the health care system in a pro-active way. The U.S. medical system offers some of the best-
trained health professionals and cutting-edge treatments in the world. Traditionally, doctors and
nurses are perceived as healers of the sick and injured. Why would you see them when you are

healthy?As discussed in other chapters of this textbook, your attitudes and behaviors are
important to your health care. Being positive, knowledgeable, and pro-active about your health
will not only reduce your chance of getting sick or injured, but it will enhance other areas of your
life.
"Every human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless, but after years of immersion in the
world we easily forget our roots and take on a counterfeit nature." Is it possible to shed this
unwanted facade and truly be the person you really are and really want to be? Yes—certainly you
can release yourself from the chains of the past and the excuses that have kept you stuck.Dyer
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, an education counselor, also absorbed the ideas from the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist whose research is
writes, challenging the whole concept of genetic determinism. Lipton and others have discovered that
genes are not self-emergent; they cannot act for themselves. Genes are basically the blueprint
for our foundation. It takes some stimulus or energy in the form of chemicals, frequencies,

In this chapter, we will look to living a healthy lifestyle as a privilege and an opportunity, not a
chore. It could be a challenge to think of being physically active and eating well as drudgery or
Positive thoughts no fun. Those who just love living these healthy lifestyle behaviors are fortunate folks. The hard
work most of us need to do is on our attitudes. If we can be positive about doing what it takes to
be healthy, we are well on our way to wellness.
Ridding ourselves of fatalistic- or deterministic-type thinking will free us to put our excuses
behind us, such as "I'm not good enough/athletic enough/capable enough, I'm getting too old, I
just don't have time, I was born (or raised) this way, I can't change." As Dyer has written, "any
thought patterns that do not enhance and expand your joyous development are excuses." We
can become what we believe, even genetically, according to Dyer and Lipton. Try this affirmation:
"I am much more powerful today than the old programs and mind viruses that I absorbed in my
childhood."It is time to eliminate blame from your life. You have the power to choose. When you
blame, you are denying that power; you are giving your power to someone or something else
(Figure 2). Be willing to give yourself permission to express the power of your positive choices. As
Free Yourself from Fatalistic Thinking you rid yourself of blame, you will rid yourself of much negativity. When you believe in your
power to choose, you will find that you are more compassionate, more interested in being kind to
others and respecting their power to choose. Several of the health-related principles put forth by
Dr. Dyer to help us be rid of excuses include "be willing to allow health, happiness and success to
flow into your life, and live here and now in your mind as well as in your body."
