Treatment-Health Behavior


The third section of a health promotion program is health behavior. A wellness lifestyle requires attention to the body, mind, and spirit. Living well with lupus and maintaining a high quality of life is a struggle, but achievable and worth the effort. Mind-body, stress-relieving techniques can be very helpful to a person with lupus. For example, self-hypnosis, visualization, and relaxation can help a person with lupus sleep better through the night. Group therapy or working with others can also be therapeutic. Support groups, counseling, and talking to family members, friends, and physicians can help alleviate the effects of stress. Ultimately, it is important for persons with lupus to understand that they are not responsible for their disease, but are responsible for the way they react to it. Their attitudes, feelings, and thoughts have an impact on their health. Focusing on abilities instead of disabilities and viewing themselves as active and responsible instead of victims is a personal choice.
