If you've noticed, my motivational and spiritual posts may seem a bit different from the other posts. You might think it's a somewhat "unconventional" way to express and write motivational content about overcoming cancer. As a trained psychologist, I want to assure you, what I write is always grounded in the knowledge of the field of psychology. However, due to my poetic nature and having been a cancer patient myself, I choose to write in a more human way, sometimes using metaphors and main messages, to make it easier to read aesthetically and understand things more profoundly.
You already know the primary objective of my writing is to strengthen your mind and provide you with accurate information. My message is clear: between you and cancer, YOU are the more powerful.
You might be interested to read my book THIS WILL PASS TOO.
A book that carries the spirit that all of life's trials are temporary; the main thing is faith and maintaining psychological stability, overcoming stereotypes within oneself, and changing public perceptions that make cancer look more dangerous than it actually is.
Yes, you need to change your attitude towards diagnosis, disease, chemotherapy, and the fear of hair loss right now.
Yes, it is necessary. And because scientific research has proven that a self-confident patient with a strong belief in recovery and engaged in self-care, achieves success in the way of treatment (International Psycho-Oncology Society).
And today, if you or a loved one is battling a cancer diagnosis, I want you to know, I want you to believe that cancer is not a death sentence.
Thank you for being here with me. Be sure that my posts will consistently offer practical value and insight. Don't forget to share them with your loved ones who may need psychological courage during life's challenges.
Now, enjoy.
"I am not what happened to me,
I am what I choose to become" - Carl Jung
Being a cancer patient is a temporary condition and it finishes when you say no to this "label."
If you want to be free from the disease, don't give it space in your mind. Behave like the way you do things when you are healthy.
No matter how hard it feels, no matter how unrealistic it might seem. One of the main solutions is in fitting the roles.
After getting diagnosed, if you choose the "role of an ill person," you'll feel yourself more ill. On the contrary, if you choose the "role of a healthy person," you will contribute to your healing step-by-step.
Imagine that you are an actor on a theater stage.
The stage - this is your life. Your audience - your loved ones and all the people around you.
Now, you must fit the role of a healthy person because you become what you imitate.
Play the role of a strong person, and you will get stronger. Play the role of a healed person, and you will achieve healing.
Observe famous actors and think: why are you awed by their performance?
Because their mimics, all of their body cells play and reflect some of the characters. Imitation of healing is based on an inspired "lie," such as the placebo effect.
When you play the role of a healthy person, you trick your body, you trick your mind, and you trick your immune system as well.
That way, you become what role you fit.
Do not fit the role of a "cancer patient."
Follow your treatment and keep in mind that you have a goal to achieve,
you have exercises to do.
There is nothing attractive in being a cancer patient. Much better is that despite your disease, life continues in new colors,
but still continues...
What color describes your life best at this moment?
Being a cancer patient is a temporary condition and it finishes when you say NO to this "label,"
When you go from the role of an ill person and accept better roles in your life:
These are the roles of a lover, friend, mom, father, wife, husband, writer, manager, worker, doctor, philanthropist, singer, poet and so on... There are many roles on Earth and in this universe.
In which role do you feel comfort? Why?
Warmly,
Nina
