help with cancer-related anxiety

Thank you so much for the great advice. I, too, have been learning to accept my anxiety and let it pass rather than trying to fight it. Also, I have been meditating almost daily and doing trauma work, and have discovered that somatic meditation works really well for resetting the nervous system. I have been operating in fight-or-flight mode for many years and am finally tired enough of it to try to do something about it. Have you done any yoga? Thinking about trying that next.

@shmerdloff What great advice. I read these books decades ago....way before I experienced the breast cancer, radiation roller coast ! They are still my go to's.. Thank you for sharing this! I use Louise Hay's tools everyday - but I have neglected Dr. Bernie.

@michelle888 I do resorative yoga regularly. When I leave the yoga class, I feel renewed.

Michelle, It's great that you are meditating. I have found guided meditation, outdoors under headsets, to be extremely relaxing and therapeutic. The tools used in Guided Meditation helps me replace my fear with hope and a peaceful state of mind.

@ritalu
Try a little Deepak Chopra (I know, Epstein😕)

Thank you - I think I would prefer Wayne Dyer over Deepak.... : )

@ritalu Yes, you get it too! There is a beautiful park where I live, and after work I ride my bike there and sit under the trees and look at the creek. Nature is extremely therapeutic for me. I really love the meditations by Wendy Jones ... she is the best I've found for resetting the nervous system.

@ritalu That's awesome. I'll have to give it a try.
