PLACEMENT: Support Pillar 3 of 3
Summary
- Worries during cancer, they grow like grass – needs to be cut regularly or it will take over
- I tried to get into mindfulness, but realised that I already live life this way, taking each day one at a time, appreciating the little things
- I tried meditating without success – I’d lie down and feel relaxed but still have a million thoughts buzzing around in my head
- It didn't help - still tense, still all over the place…
- I discovered that the mind releases tension through intense focus, not relaxation
- Focus directs where you PLACE your energy by doing exercise for the body and the mind
- Do what’s right for you – choose something you like that you can sustain over time
- You can’t escape worry during cancer – but you can release all that built up energy when you channel into focus on physical and mental sports
