Disabled Self-abnegation
Welcome to the Living With Disabilities Advocacy website. First and foremost. Self-published author Katrina Smith, a person of many accomplishments, has written six volumes in total: two cookbooks and four collections of poetry. Her favorite activities include reading and writing. Katrina would be described by one word: determined. Despite any challenges she may encounter, she does not let unkind comments decide her fate.
If you're a new visitor to this advocacy website, this page's goal is to increase public understanding of those who live with disabilities and other conditions. We suggest that anything you read on this site you seek out a licensed professional counselor or healthcare provider.
This week, Living With Disabilities will touch on self-abnegation and living in a dark space about your disability.
Let's temporarily put our shoes on the other foot. whether or not you have a disability yourself. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that some of us have lived in society's mindset and may have thought along its lines prior to the unexpected events.
If we instantly talk to ourselves about our own disability and all the terms society tends to label us with, even better, we start to believe in ourselves. As if we were a garbage can that was about to be filled, we start to process all of those words.
One former NFL player, Trent Shelton, who played for the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, and Washington Redskins, said "It all starts with you," And this week, we're going to take a step back and focus on ourselves because, as individuals, we occasionally have second thoughts and negative emotions about our condition or disability that we want to share with others. if we first look within ourselves for the truth.
Take time to think of your guardians, parents, caretakers, or anyone else you can always count on as your role models. They have gone through things and felt self-abnegation one or more times in their life. Do they now accept what has happened to them, and if so, how did they balance it with reality?
We cannot speak for them because each person manages to handle things differently and see what works for them.
Hence, if you are a guardian, parent, or caretaker and have been down the self-abnegation road, come with an open mind and listen to your child who finds living with their disability or condition a struggle.
In reality, butterflies don't even make any sounds at all; they don't even make chirping noises. A butterfly had to start off as a caterpillar before it could develop into a butterfly. Do you see where we're headed with this? Instead of focusing on what we can't do, we're learning to accept who we are and what we can achieve. When you have self-doubt, go to your role model for inspiration. But most importantly, discover a way to communicate with your inner self.
You must have the inner strength to realize that what you have doesn't define who you are and that you can shine brilliantly and accomplish amazing things. Remember that it's alright to feel however you're feeling right now because emotions and feelings are natural parts of being a human.
Strength full circle
The concept of "disability" is the inability to perform a task. as gray as society has made it. Because they fear being bullied and having to retreat into a place where they feel comfortable, many with disabilities or medical conditions find it difficult to talk. So they stop talking about or accepting their disability.
Never consider the vague idea of a disability; remove the initials DIS D-I-S and let your ability shine more brilliantly than before.
