Learning to love your Cancer Body

As a cancer survivor, you may have heard many stories about people who are ecstatic about their new body after cancer. They talk about how they have a new appreciation for life and how they feel like they have been given a second chance. While it's great that they are feeling positive and optimistic, it's important to remember that not everyone feels that way.


It's okay to feel depressed or unhappy about your new body after cancer. You may not like the way you look or feel like you're not the same person you were before. These feelings are valid, and it's important to acknowledge them.


It's important to remember that everyone's journey through cancer is different. Some people may have had a relatively easy time with treatment and recovery, while others may have had a much more difficult time. It's also important to remember that cancer can leave physical and emotional scars that can take time to heal.


If you're feeling depressed or unhappy about your new body after cancer, it's important to talk to someone about it. This could be a friend, family member, or a professional therapist. They can help you work through your feelings and come up with strategies to cope with them.


It's also important to remember that it's okay to take time to adjust to your new body. You may not feel comfortable in your own skin right away, but with time and patience, you may come to accept and even embrace your new body.


In conclusion, it's okay to feel depressed or unhappy about your new body after cancer. It's important to acknowledge these feelings and talk to someone about them. Remember that everyone's journey through cancer is different, and it's okay to take time to adjust to your new body.

Embracing the Power of Yes: A Journey of Change and Growth

The concept of New Year's resolutions often comes to mind. Personally, I have never been a firm believer in setting resolutions, but I have come to realize that there are certain patterns in my life that I consistently strive to change. One such pattern is my desire to read more. Every year, I make a promise to myself that I will dedicate more time to reading, and yet, I often find myself falling short of this goal. It's a recurring cycle that I can't seem to break. Perhaps it's my Virgo nature that contributes to this cycle. As a Virgo, I am known for my meticulous planning and attention to detail. I always get a planner and jot down all the things I intend to do. It's almost comical how I am constantly "Virgoing" – a term I use to describe my tendency to overanalyze and overthink things.
