Self efficacy is defined as the measure of one's own competence to complete tasks and reach goals.[1]
In other words with your own abilities, knowledge, past experiences and
confidences you can be successful in whatever you attempt,
even cancer. So can you cure cancer? Sure you can, because you "Know You Can." You can boost your self-efficacy by several ways:
- Knowledge
- Healthy Diet and Exercise Program
- Support group
- Energy Healing and EFT
- Mother Nature
What is Self Efficacy
When
I got cancer, it was not a matter of believing that I was going to
die. That was not an option. I was invincible and I had enough medical
knowledge to defeat this problem. I just had to figure out which
protocol would serve my purpose the most.
According to Albert Bandura,
self-efficacy is "the belief in one’s capabilities to organize and
execute the courses of action required to manage prospective
situations." In other words, self-efficacy is a person’s belief in his
or her ability to succeed in a particular situation. Bandura described
these beliefs as determinants of how people think, behave, and feel
(1994).
What Affects Your Self-Efficacy
So now you know the definition of self efficacy, how do you apply the "I am Woman, hear me roar" concept to curing cancer? There are many things that influence why some can have self efficacy and why some crumble to the demands of family, friends and "God" doctors. Things that affect your overall system are four prong;
1. Past experiences. How you were raised and the years of endurance will affect you very strongly. If you were a failure as a child or at everything you try, then the thought of curing cancer may frighten you so much that you fail at this too. Remember your thoughts are part of your system. If you tell yourself, I cannot cure cancer, then most likely you cannot.
2. Failure of Others. If you see others, celebrities and family members die from attempting to cure their cancers naturally, then your self-efficacy will be affected. But if you surround yourself with people who are strong, confident and who have cured cancer, then your self-efficacy becomes. strong. You know you can do this and it is just a matter of finding out which protocol to start.
3. Vocal Affirmations. Affirmations reinforce who we are. Do you have this little voice inside of you that keeps saying, OMG! You have cancer and you are going to DIE! Or do you have a voice that says, "You can do this and we are here to help you." Both voices or feelings can influence you totally. I had an angel come to me and tell me "Prepare, impending doom." I thought to myself, no way. Then the diagnosis came in and instead of crumbling I sat down and started writing to everyone to see what were my options. I did not give up.
4. Your Psychological Makeup. Some people are strong and others are weak. Some people can diet and others need gastric surgery. What makes one stronger than the other? Your psychological makeup. Strong people recover quickly from failures and their self-efficacy is able to accomplish what others deem impossible. Once a strong person decides that life is worth living, they do not give up until the goal is reached.
Knowledge Boost Self-Efficacy
If you are an expert in one field, like I am with Nigella sativa, you feel confident. There isn't much anyone could tell me that I don't know already and so when it came time to cure my cancer, my first line of defense was Nigella sativa. When inexperienced people attempt to cure cancer, their self-confidence may hit bottom. In order to be more confident they need to read. There are many books on the subject of natural cures for cancer and finding the right protocol takes some educational know-how and a sixth sense. I have cured more diseases due purely to prayer.
Knowledge, self-efficacy and faith healing are not all the same. I could be knowledgeable about cancer, but not have self-efficacy which is the ability to conquer any thing that comes my way. And self-efficacy and faith healing are very far apart. Faith healing has to do with the belief in God and that he will heal you of anything. So by faith you will be healed and depending on him for all things. Self-efficacy is having faith in God and yourself. So even if you are an atheist you can still believe in the total body system as a whole to be healed, no matter what stage of cancer you have.
Healthy Diet and Exercise Program
You can have all the confidence in the world, but no one cancer program can be successful without a change of diet. Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body. So your aim is to get alkaline with a PH of 7.5 or more. In order to do that you must eat low glycemic foods and avoid sugar, colas, white flours and meat. A raw vegetarian diet is a must for anyone with stage III or IV cancer.
You need to exercise, and exercising on a mini-trampoline is suggested. You will need a good juicer, a food steamer of some kind and a blender (I suggest a Vita Mix). Cancer is not cheap, but what you will learn will not only cure your cancer, but improve your lifestyle for the rest of your life. Longevity is the end result of healthy living. Distilled water is also suggested for the best cancer and health diets.
Support Groups
You will find that your confidence soars through the roof when you surround yourself with positive and energetic survivors. If you conquer your cancer then offer to pay it forward with leading or speaking at a cancer survivors group. Many people on the edge will be saved by a person who has done what you only can dream of. One of the most self-defeating ways to lose your confidence is to be around negative and stressful people. Even if they are your mom, get them out of your life. Stress will cause your cancer to go through the roof.
Energy Healing and EFT
I have a friend Heather Carlini of the Carlini Institute and she practices energy healing and is very knowledgeable EFT practitioner. It is a natural way to heal disease. She and others have had great success and some like Heather may be successful with minimal investment. EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique which works on the nerve pressure points of your body. By saying positive affirmations you become well through repeated hearings of positive things. Even if you cancer, always repeat that you are happy with the cancer and you realize that healing is imminent. There are no negative affirmations, only positive ones.
Mother Nature, Herbs and Supplements
Having self-efficacy does not mean you are superwoman. It means you have learned how to gain the confidence necessary to tackle any problem or disease that comes your way. All natural healings deal with herbs or supplements of some kind.
I personally advocate Nigella sativa as step one in any cancer protocol. Mother nature has provided you with enough natural ways to be healed. Just today they were talking about taking ginger extract on Natural News as a new way to cure cancer. I for one would never rely on ginger extract to cure my cancer totally. It is a great supplement and should be added in combination with Nigella sativa, healthy diet, vitamin C and other supplements you will choose to take.
Conclusion
I am a strong woman and I know myself. I have endure countless problems in my life and each time it just makes me stronger. You will learn that cancer is just a test from God to make you stronger, to help you survive and to clean out all the toxins out of your body. We as a nation and a world have been programmed with fast food, processed everything and junk of all kinds. Truly self-efficient people learn to succeed and keep those lessons close at heart.
