Today is a day
for a deep breath and a deep sigh of relief as my daughter Dana just made it to
two years of being cancer free, a feat that her Doctor gave her only a 10%
success rate. I wrote about this in my
upcoming book, about the power of the placebo effect and equally the power of
the nocebo effect as well as the fear that keeps us sick, stuck and unable to
meet our goals. Dana wrote about this
today in her blog titled, “Just Breathe” in http://stealingyourthunder.blogspot.com/
Here is an
excerpt of what I wrote in my book about this fear:
Fear is the cancer. It
is incapacitating and nonproductive. It infects the
mind and the body.
Treatment should not be fear based. It should be empowering. Fear can keep you
from taking personal responsibility and from doing your own research. We all
want someone to tell us what to do, to give us the pill, the magic fix. In order to fully heal, you must overcome the fear and take personal
responsibility through compassion and self-love. You must learn to respond to
your body with love and compassion, instead of the automatic response to react
out of fear. This is especially important for healing, as I will describe in
this book.
I am proud and relieved to say that Dana is taking
personal responsibility for her life and has learned the importance of
prioritizing self-care and of following her passions. Most importantly, Dana believes that she has
the power to heal from within and this empowerment leads to optimal health.
Here is another excerpt:
STEP ONE - BEGIN: Make a
commitment and invest in yourself. Take an honest personal assessment and
inventory.
How to become the leader of your life? Take action.
To be the most effective leader, you have to have control of your health! Make
the same investment in you that you have made in your family, friends, and
career. Give yourself the gift of self-care; find new ways to energize and
empower yourself.
