By learning to challenge these beliefs, we can override the thoughts that are not useful to us, and we will then be free to create beliefs that will enable us to act in ways that create the results we desire. So, I advise you to challenge the so-called facts that will bombard you as you navigate your daughter’s treatment.
There are outdated theories about and treatments for anorexia, dramatic stories with terrible endings, and plentiful articles, none with clear answers. What I know for sure is that when I read a gloom and doom conclusion about anorexia, I can decide whether or not I want to believe it as it applies to my daughter.
In order to know that my beliefs come from my own thoughts, and to ensure that they are the beliefs that I want to have, I have decided to consciously choose them. I choose to believe that the anorexia is part of my daughter’s journey to becoming her very best self, and that I am the perfect mom to support her through it.
