Words have power - Living with Autoimmune Disease.
Are you temporarily living with an autoimmune disease? OR have you become that condition? Do you identify with the autoimmune disease you are living with? What about a chronic health condition? You know - are you saying things like I have psoriasis or I am a diabetic. Not that those are inherently wrong...for many living with autoimmune disease imparts a certain energy of taking ownership.
When you claim it and become your diagnosis - which I see so often in the natural progression of long-term autoimmune sufferers, then you are calling it into existence you are manifesting that in your human suit. Today we are changing that - we are working on some simple mindset shifts if you are living with autoimmune disease.
In this episode, you will learn -
- what it means for words to have power
- why its so important if you are living with autoimmune disease (or trying to heal one)
- 1 quick shift to change it now
- 3 boundaries for your self talk and using words to create your reality

Words have power - living with autoimmune disease
Are you temporarily living with an autoimmune disease? OR have you become that condition? Do you identify with the autoimmune disease you are living with? What about a chronic health condition? You know - are you saying things like I have psoriasis or I am a diabetic. Not that those are inherently wrong...for many living with autoimmune disease imparts a certain energy of taking ownership.
When you claim it and become your diagnosis - which I see so often in the natural progression of long-term autoimmune sufferers, then you are calling it into existence you are manifesting that in your human suit. Today we are changing that - we are working on some simple mindset shifts if you are living with autoimmune disease.
Welcome if this is your first time listening - I’m Audrey Christie - I’m a functional and integrative nurse nutritionist and energy medicine practitioner. I help women stop chasing symptoms and find relief and ultimately learn how to heal their bodies from autoimmune disease.
Okay - so someone walks up to you and asks in casual conversation why you did something - say walked your 5k instead of run… and your answer may be “well because I have rheumatoid and I’m in a flare right now” or someone happens to wonder out loud about you checking your blood sugar “oh I am diabetic.” When you claim your diagnosis as your own when you incorporate it into your being - your very essences -then guess what you get - you more deeply integrate your autoimmune condition into your body, your cells, your Soul.
What about the term “I am sick” or “I am chronically ill” or how about this one because it often has a positive thought process behind it - “Autoimmune Warrior” or “Psoriasis Warrior” or “Fibro Warrior” those terms are often meant to be empowering for those who are living with autoimmune conditions. But when you speak that, you are energetically pouring cement all over that to hold it in place, because words are power.
Words have power and as much as I am a believer in energy work and principles that are still not fleshed out by science -words do have an epic amount of power and science backs this up.. Spoken language shapes our beliefs, drives our behavior, and ultimately, creates our perception, which creates our world.
Science supports words having power because the power words have comes from our emotional responses when we read, speak, or hear them. And we know that emotional response causes physical changes in our hormones, immune system, and in our gut.
Not yet convinced? It's cool! Try this, think of the word “fire,” said while at a backyard party, in a staff meeting, or in a crowded school would get you three very different responses, all powerful emotionally and energetically in their own way.
Before we get to the steps to start releasing the energy of the claims against ourselves we have made - I want to do a quick shout out - I absolutely adore getting feedback from you - ratings and reviews on your favorite podcast provider, comments and messages on social, and feedback from clients in my 1:1s and group programs...it helps me to help more people
So today I want to highlight Margie -
She said - I’m not sure if it was the emotional clearing or what you did but today, I showered, blew dry my hair, put on make up ( I only usual so this for church), put on a cute outfit (with a bra!) and earrings! I went to sprouts and made my family a fabulous dinner as well as got some laundry so done! It was a fabulous day! Now I can’t get more fabulous days!
I love love love that! Thank you so much for sharing that and if you are wondering what magic Ms. Margie had - it was a distance emotional clearing session.
Shifting Your Perspective while living with autoimmune disease
Okay so we have established that words have power - I want you to make up your mind right now this very minute - make up your mind that you are capable of healing, your body is capable of healing, you are capable of becoming CLEAR, and of finding long-term relief and remission from your autoimmune disease.
If you can speak it out loud touch your throat with a couple of fingers and say with “I am free, I am clear, I am healthy, I am vibrant” maybe you are in a position to write it down so let's write it down, handwriting works way better and engraining it in your body: I am free, I am clear, I am healthy, I am vibrant” and then whisper it I am free, I am clear, I am healthy, I am vibrant”
That is one of the quickest shifts I can give you. You can stop and do that anywhere to change your mindset quickly. You can even repeat it in your head, soon it will come to you whenever your thoughts drift to your throat.
Now here are some ground rules going forward -
Rule 1: Start to notice what words you are using right now. You won’t get it right every time but awareness is at least two-thirds of the battle. Start to catch yourself when you start down that path of negativity.
Rule 2: No name-calling and No self-criticism No self-deprecation. You are doing the best you can in any moment with the consciousness that you have to work with. Just like anyone else. Be kind and empathetic to yourself, just like you would to others.
Rule 3: Stop the energy of gossip. Resist the urge to contribute. I have a classic blog on how to stop the energy of gossip with ways you can shut it down if you are in situations where gossip prevails!
What we covered
So if you are identifying and aligning yourself in your words with your autoimmune disease or chronic illness or really any negativity, now you know WHY its important not to do that anymore and I’ve armed you with 2 new ways to get out of that negativity (even if it is wrapped in a pretty bow) while being gentle with yourself and those around you.
Here’s the thing, if it made it to an episode, you have to know - that this self-talk and creating your reality is a common problem. That’s why I created a free resource for you, its called 5 Steps to Staring Healing from Your Autoimmune Disease TODAY. And its specifically simple steps you can take right now - including changing your mindset from being your autoimmune disease to temporarily living with an autoimmune disease. You can download it on the show notes page or your podcast player, or at audreychristie.com/114 and it always lives at audreychristie.com/autoimmune.
To wrap this up -
I gave you 2 foolproof, simple and sustainable ways to clear your energy and human suit from the harm of negative self-talk and why it's important to stop. As a bonus - I gave you a link to my classic blog post on How to Stop the Energy of Gossip. Where can you honor the power your words have to create your reality?
Thank you so much for tuning in, if you have a second it would mean the world to me if you could leave a rating or review! That helps me help more people get clear of autoimmune disease. I’d be oh so grateful.
Be well.
