Life after the BIG C
Hi ... Just found my 2017 post and it made me cry remembering my journey. I am now 3 years Cancer Free and have learnt so much about me, myself and I ! Here are a few things that has made me the woman I am today...
1. You have one life... live it the best way you can
2. Fall in love with yourself... what I mean is treat yourself as a Prize ! If you buy a car, you maintain it, tax it, put petrol in it, you insure it! Treat yourself in the same way! Take CARE of you FIRST, this is the only way you can look after your kids and loved ones. YOU are the most important person in YOUR life.
3. Dont save things, wear/ use them today, go on that holiday, buy that dress! Time waits for nobody!
5. Meditate ... dont sit and think about Cancer.. clear your mind and relax your body. Its hard right ♀️Ok here is some help Try these 3-minute micro-meditations from Aura! aura.app.link/ao3rFAYFHX. This helps me every night to quite the noise and questions I keep replaying in my head. I find peace in my mind as I follow the instructions and flow into different parts of my mind. One of my favourite affirmations is “ I am healthy and healed.
6. Find groups to talk about your journey. Talking about Cancer to your family sometimes make them scared, because they dont know how to respond. There are now many groups for Women on Instagram. I found talking about it.... lessen my fears ... also everyone has a story. Its good to listen and many will have the same concerns and fears as you. linktr.ee/blackwomenrisinguk

7. NEVER GIVE UP ! I love ME more than I have ever loved ME. I stood up to this CANCER and told it to *** OFF... with my actions and my my mind. I will fight you every step Cancer.
8. Get your mani/pedi, do your hair, put your make up on, get up and dress up everyday ! Like its a party ! Even when you feel ***.... and on the sofa ! LOOK AMAZING. This will become you job daily, then a natural habit.
9. Acupuncture also helped me with blood circulation. I could hardly walk after Chemo. A lady in a Chinese Shop saw me hobbling and suggested that I buy a course. I thought ok I will try it ... It Bloody worked I had about 12 sessions and was out dancing .... Never give up!
Many people ... close people tried to scare me ... when I started my journey ... this surprised me ... “your never gonna be the same Yvonne... Your gonna have this that etc ... Your life will never be the same.” YES my life is different .... I love me more than I ever did ! I promise ME that I will always LOVE ME and Take GOOD care of ME and remove all negativity energy from my life. Yes you will lose friends due to CANCER. But ... you will make REAL friends and even family.
CANCER has taught me i can stand back (hide) or STAND UP to CANCER!
Namaste
