Living with chronic illness can be tough at times; as a matter of fact, it sucks! But I have learned over time that the more you tell yourself that something sucks, the more it is going to suck. Waking up after having a seizure sucks, having Cerebral Palsy, and being in pain sucks, and shunt revisions because your Hydrocephalic brain decided to clog up sucks! Overall Chronic illness, sucks. 

Chronic brain negativity is on the rise, creating the biggest illness of them all, ungratefulness. Most of us have missed the boat when it comes to seeing just how amazing it is to have a brain and aches and pains still. Being brain positive instead of brain negative is crucial when living with a chronic illness. It will allow us to see just how beautiful this mess we have is and be grateful for the moments that we have, even if sometimes they aren't the greatest. 

Today challenge yourself to be brain positive and be grateful for the chronically ill life you were blessed with.
