Finding Strength: How to Live Your Best Life with a Medical Condition

Redefining Your Identity
It's common to feel that a chronic illness has defined you. However, your illness is only a part of your story, not the entire narrative. Reconnect with your passions, hobbies, and relationships that existed before your diagnosis. Explore new interests that align with your current abilities. Remind yourself that you are more than your diagnosis. Your identity is a complex tapestry woven from your experiences, relationships, values, and strengths. A chronic illness may have changed some threads, but it has not unraveled the whole.
