Mayo Clinic Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Cancer Recovery Specialist
EPISODE #64
In the blink of an eye, your world is turned upside down. You barely have time to digest the diagnosis before you are inundated with more information and reality than you can process. Treatments begin and a cascade of challenges follow for you and those who love and care for you. You may even begin to feel like your days are a haze and your life is not your own anymore. It can be a demoralizing experience. But it doesn’t have to be.
While absolute outcomes are out of our hands, the quality of the journey is very much within reach. You can find wellness in the face of illness. Whether it’s learning how to nourish your body better, finding a mind-body-movement practice that soothes and strengthens, learning how to communicate in a healing way, experimenting with a new hobby, staying engaged with work, nurturing your relationships, or becoming a student of mindfulness, there are a wealth of ways to live and feel well with cancer. -Atara Weisberger
