Last Words Define Your New Beginning

During this transformation period that is never ending, I had a Chaplain write down a patient’s last words. I do not know what sparked this inside me, but I feel when people are turning to their new adventure, their last words are full of courage, love, and empowerment. They have gone through life and have learned many life lessons we are unaware of. What don’t we know? I personally don’t know a lot about people until I ask. Engaging with people in the physical state of mind is not only healthy, but vital for life. Social media is ruining people every day. I was thinking this morning, how nice it would be to not have cell phones. We did it back in the day. Life seemed a lot more relaxed and humanity was happier. What makes you happy when you are not on your cell phone?

Tracy’s last words:

Always love yourself, number one, first. Tracy is a veteran who turned to drugs. Why? She was coping with something that she couldn’t fix herself. She was isolated. She had no family and her only friend was her doctor. How did she get this way? Isolation? Past trauma? Family feuds? I didn’t have time to ask because as bedside nurses, we don’t have the time to mindfully heal. That is why nurse coaching will be the forefront of healthcare. We are going to be able to be fully present for people in their time of need. Not just give them a pill and say, “it’s going to be okay. Here take this. It will make you feel better.” Will it? Maybe short term, but not long term. People need to communicate, it’s the only way out. Why everyone needs a coach or a counselor. So many people say, “I don’t need to talk to anyone, I can deal with it myself.” Ok….how’s that going for you? Love yourself enough to reach out to someone to deal with your inner self. The in reflects the out. Trust me.

If things get changed in your life, do your best because you my find them again. (Tracy) How many changes do we face in our day. Many! How do you cope with them? You might want to find the positivity in every change, because it will come at you again if you deal with it the wrong way. The negative is the easy way out, because it is practiced the most. True! With every change Tracy came upon life, she may have injected herself to deal with it. It was just easier that way. She recognized this in her last hours. You might want to start embracing change to get away from old habits. That is what Tracy is telling you.

Provide for yourself and your fellow Americans. (Tracy) In order to provide for others you have to provide for yourself. I have written this many times. You cannot support someone unless you feel supported yourself. By you! This is loving yourself first and always, American survival. (Tracy) Do you love who you have become? If not, work on it. You are the only one who can change you! You have to do the work! It’s your mindset. If others influence you, are they influencing you to the right path of self love? If not, find a new tribe. Ones who support you every step of the way till you find the true and honest you. Be honest.

It’s all about being at the top of your game. When you love yourself first and always, that is being at the top of your game. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. (Tracy) and Brooke.
