One thing I forgot: After the pain of parting comes the happiness of healing; rediscover life, friends, self, joy.

Things you can do to help your emotional well being during treatment.

  • Increase your self-care techniques to at least once a day, everyday – think of things that you love to do that end with an “ing” to help identify your list (walking, meditating, socializing, etc.) Before and after each self-care technique, say to yourself, I am loving and caring for myself right now."  The mind and body will positively process this message.

 

  • Talk with a professional – your pastor, a counselor, etc.

 

  • Begin Journaling – journal all of your thoughts and feelings, especially ones that keep reoccurring.  Give your thoughts and feelings to the paper.

 

  • Everyday write down at least 2 things you are grateful for in your life no matter how small they are.  Just write something down.

 

  • Replace all of your worries with what you want.  (e.g. if you are worrying about what the future holds for you, replace those thoughts with what you WANT to see in your future).  If your mind wonders to those worries, just repeat to yourself “that’s ok", and bring yourself back to what you want.

 

  • Create a compilation of your favorite music that lifts your spirits and makes you feel good. Listen to it when you are feeling down or when you are anticipating feeling anxious (like going to your doctor appointments).    You can purchase individual songs of your choice by going to Rhapsody.com and/or itunes.com

 

  • Be gentle with yourself. Practice giving yourself and others grace each and everyday
