,
Hello,
This is my Story!
I realized soon after my first breast cancer diagnosis in 2005 that my body as well as my mind will be seriously affected. But its only after my second diagnosis 2016 that I started documenting everything that helped me - on this ever-stretching road of Anger, Frustrations, Confusion, Fatigue, Pain and Boredom. Bored of the same story, a story that's lasting for 10 years and more? a story I'm tired to tell, and that bores me just thinking about it. So I pushed everyone away in search of a little bit of ''peace'', this time round I struggled to cope, I struggled to understand!..
I was looking for answers everywhere but in me. Then I realized. IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT ME! I Can Make Some Changes and make my life better. I then removed the focus on anyone else, and anything else and put The Focus on Me. I started looking into things that I could possibly do, to help Myself alongside the wonderful job that my medical Team is doing...
I told myself this -
First of all, YOU did not chose to be unwell, it's not YOUR fault you are struggling and you have no power to take the illness away.
But the POWER that I knew I have, and that I can tap into to help my body, is MASSIVE . It's a power that I can use daily for a better health. And this mindset helped me feel better and Win more LOVE from the people I Love. Win LOVE? I hear you ask...
Well, I realized that when you're affected by a TRAUMATIC news, the role of love in your relationships can be threatened. In action, love is often replaced by other overwhelming emotions such as fear, grief, sorrow and unfortunately pity.
So, paying attention to YOU will help you BE and FEEL stronger which in turn will make you LOOK capable and in control - and there will be no invitation or place for any other emotion but LOVE. This is proven to be THE secret. A secret that is out in the open but not many pay attention to, because it's too simple! I decided to implement this in my life and I'm glad I am. The key I find, is to strengthened myself from the inside out. This really have helped me in my struggle with cancer treatments.
So, my blog posts will basically be talking about all these different things that are positive and that can continue to help me and whoever read it to Gain back more control and Enjoy Life as it is, with Plans to Improve it.
Please let me know what you think, and please post Your ''#Looking After Yourself Tips'' here.
Thank you,
