Here's a thought, when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005, I didn't go off the wall in panic, I accepted what I have, and thought positively. My life style didn't change much, ate the same foods, worked out, continued to do weight training, trikking, The treatments did have some negative effects, couldn't eat fruits, and veggies, those shots gave me hot flashes, and the 91 radiation seeds was part of the assault on the cancer. I was asked if I had trouble sleeping by my doctor, I told him no, maybe it was the subconcious acceptance, whatever it was, I just felt positive, and continue to feel that way. I think if we accept things, do the best we can, let those hiccups of life not create mountanis of anxiety that does nothing but make you feel like garbage, just let life do it's thing, the ride is an adventure, enjoy it.
i applaude your thought process and i must admit when i read your words it lifted me and i thought yes he is right what is the point in worrying it never ever helps anything only makes things worse but i am having a good day today hope i can feel as positive when i start to shake, when i am so dizzy i cant concentrate on anything else , when my heart is beating out of my chest and my vision is blurred if i can i have cracked it . glad you have recovered and i am sure your positive attitude helped
Thank you Marilyn. I hope you stay positive, if we condition ourselves negatively which I believe is the cause for anxiety, why can't we do the same positively. All of these anxiety triggers, whatever they are, we created them for our own reasons, then conditioned ourselves to respond. I read some of us are like a hair trigger on a gun, then we pull it because we're following our own program. I've put that gun away, it feels lethal, but it really wasn't, I just made it that way. It's easier to be conditioned to focus on that feeling of relaxation. response
High five to you. Just enjoy the ride and be glad to be well.
