Life has so many up’s & down’s and you have to learn to just roll with it!
A couple of weeks ago I went into the Dr to get routine blood tests & while I was there I thought I probably need a colonoscopy soon too. As much as I’d rather just get on with life & not think about cancer I keep up with regular checks.
PET scans are never fun.
There’s a lot of waiting alone, then theres the scan, then you wait for the verdict. No one else sits with you, it’s just you & your thoughts. It’s a time I always reflect about my life, the what if’s play out whether I like it or not.. this time I started thinking if I was given a 5 year life expectancy how would my life change?
I don’t think mine would change that much, if anything I’d probably work less & travel more… way more!
I feel like going through cancer has changed my life for the better already.. I look at life differently.
I no longer live to please others, I’ve learned to set boundaries, I only spend time with people I feel good around, I’m ok with saying thank you but no thank you 🙏🏻
I spend more time hanging out with my kids, we laugh, we dance & our car karaoke just make me smile, we make a point of singing so loudly we can’t help but laugh.
I’ve tried to instil in both the boys life is what we make it, we have the power to create our own reality & it starts with our thoughts & belief system.. and let’s not forget discipline to stay on course.
I intentionally take the time to have meaningful conversations with the people I care about. I care less about small talk & pleasantries.
I am more open to healing myself & I make a conscious decision to show up & be more vulnerable.
This was not my life before cancer 10 years ago. I played it safe, being liked was a priority so I never spoke up about what hurt me & I literally just held it all in until the resentment would consume me. I didn’t know how to self regulate so I would scream with protest behaviour to get attention when it all got too much. I was a mess!!!!
💕I love that cancer gave me a new purpose in life. It wasn’t just another chance to live, I wanted it to be better this time around & feel MORE fulfilled 🙌🏻 and so I made the decision to create the life I have now.. a life I absolutely love 🙌🏻
As we close off this year 2025 maybe it’s a great time to reflect ✨
If you had only 5 years left in life.. what would you change? What would you do more of? What would do less of?
If we have the power create our own reality, what is your reality in this moment & are there any changes you could make to bring more happiness in to your life 🙌🏻
