In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, and my receiving a clean bill of health, I wanted to talk about calming and relaxing your nervous system to help your body decrease inflammation, which causes illness. It not only calms you physically, but mentally, as well as allowing you to be in a higher mental state and a higher energy state to allow blocks to release.
I used tapping from the time I found my lump (which wasn’t the cancerous lump) to the present…every day. I use it for gratitude, healing, finding calm, allowing myself to feel what I am feeling, for joy, forgiveness, basically for everything. It just makes me feel amazing.
Tapping can be used anywhere and at any time. We all know that when you have breast cancer (any cancer), you have ups and downs. You have your good days or even great days, and you have your bad days or horrendous days. It happens to us all. But, we can have a say in how we are going to react to what is going on in our body and our mind. We can go into victim mode, which, in many cases is very easy to do; or, we can go into a calm, “I’ve got this” mode, or “I’m not giving up on this” mode, and ACT instead of RE-ACT. Whatever the thoughts are, we do have a say in that.
So, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to share my tapping video I made that helped me. You can add or change any words to make it more suited to your situation. This is for you. Make it and change it for you. Whatever feels good to you or whatever just comes to mind.
Something else I do a lot for myself is exercise. In fact, I just finished a quick walk a little while ago, which is what prompted this post. Exercise releases endorphins, our natural “happy hormone” and allows us to be open to more positivity in our thoughts. It improves our overall well-being and just makes us feel good, and gives us more energy. It not only helps you physically, but mentally, also. However, do check with your doctors before starting any new exercise program. There may be some limitations or contraindications depending on your type of cancer, and what meds, treatments you are getting, so ALWAYS, ALWAYS check with your docs!!
So, I am leaving you with just that much, but have included the video, as stated. I hope you enjoy it and let me know how it helps.
Pamper yourself…YOU DESERVE IT!
