π Time Limits π
I had a conversation with a breast cancer thriver (not survivor, fighter, but THRIVER please pay attention, I choose my words very carefully & yes itβs possible to THRIVE with cancer!) who told me the doctors recently told her she had 6-8 years left to live.
If you are a doctor or in the medical establishment, please know that giving us thrivers a time line to live is limiting our mental framework in what might be possible for us in our healing process!
It has been documented that most patients when they are told they have β6 months to liveβ die exactly around that 6 month time period.
The mind is powerful! I personally choose to see beyond the limitations of what the medical establishment might tell me. I have many friends, myself included who are thriving with so called metastatic cancer & whom are deemed in βpalliativeβ care. Palliative means βincurableβ
Why would I want to relegate myself to a term that would limit my ability to live fully, to enjoy my life, to love and to truly embrace all the beauty around me?
I have friends who have defied the odds & whom have been in hospice, relegated to death & experience radical spontaneous remission and are now cancer free! Anything is possible if you choose to believe it!
In the same breath I have come to peace with my death. I do not live in fear of death, therefore the fear of dying does not paralyze me in my daily life. I can knowingly live with stage 4 cancer that was present in my breast, lung, liver, spine and adrenal glands, be at peace with it and even LOVE my life and be free of any fear of dying.
After all, it is when we are brave enough to truly face our fear of death that we can truly live!
This goes for all of us, whether you are walking with a serious health diagnosis or not. Come to peace with your death & you will truly come to appreciate life! I highly suggest you come to this mental framework before you are given a scary diagnosis.
These days due to the wonders of modern medicine, stage 4 cancer does NOT have to be a death sentence.
So please, in conclusion, donβt peg us thrivers with time limits that will bend or break our minds into believing self imposed time limits. Please help us see that the possibilities are limitless. We can choose to see beyond the confines of the limited mind. Please donβt use fear to manipulate us into using medicines. Treat us with love and kindness and let us make our own decisions about what resonates with our soul.
The mind is a powerful tool
Use it wisely
Every thought matters
