• Fibromyalgia is simply where we’re starting. It’s where we are right now, but that’s not what the focus is. The focus is on where we’re going: healing.
• What we focus on is going to grow and be pulled into our lives. 
• There’s a very big difference between thinking, “I can’t because of my illness” and “I’m choosing not to so that I can feel my best tomorrow.”
• It’s less about what you can’t do and more about what you can do. It’s about moving you on that journey towards feeling better

In this episode, Tami talks about the subtle difference between focusing on your fibromyalgia and focusing on your healing. In your brain, you have a reticular activating system (RAS). Your RAS is the gatekeeper for information entering your brain and tells you what you should pay attention to. When you keep thinking of all the ways your fibromyalgia is impeding your life, all you see are more ways fibromyalgia is impeding your life. If you can make the mental shift to focus on ways you can heal, your RAS will start seeing more opportunities to feel better.
