Making it through the holidays while undergoing cancer treatment and surgeries can be difficult. No, it is difficult. So, just like controlling any segment of your life, set parameters for yourself. This is a good time to review a couple of Diane’s Rules to help you figure this out.
First, remember that Happiness is Contagious so Surround Yourself With It!
Associate with positive people and remember that none of your friends or relatives have permission to drag you down with negativity. Excuse yourself from the conversation if that happens. Instead, choose to surround yourself with those who laugh and remember happy memories. Watch a funny movie. Enjoy the lights, decorations and music. Cherish every blessing with a heightened awareness. Choose happy. Choose positive.
Second, Don’t Focus on An Unfinished Product….YOU!
If you are in the middle of chemotherapy or radiation treatment, or if you are between surgeries, don’t focus on now. Instead choose to focus on the day when you are healed and the treatments are finished. This is all temporary. The treatments will end. The surgical sites will heal. If you have discomfort, there is western medicine available to help and eastern and holistic practices to comfort you. Under Remedies on the website, you will find what can help. Take control, don’t be controlled. It’s liberating and healing.
Good Luck to you and Happy Holidays from MyBreastChoice.Org
