Embracing Abundance: Transforming Your Life After Breast Cancer
I want to go to this limited place where that's the person I want to be, instead of staying now and saying: okay, I understand that everything has changed. I understand that I've been through a traumatic experience. And because I love my life, I worked really hard to survive breast cancer and this body worked really hard to survive breast cancer. No, I'm going to look at myself and say: well, hmm, this is not what I was expecting. But hey, you know, this is a body that went through a lot of trauma and here it is. But now I can make it even better, and you can do that with yourself and your life if you allow yourself to let go of that thinking that the past is better.
What if you could shift your mindset to expect good things, even after a breast cancer diagnosis? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor, knows how cancer can upend your life and fill it with fear. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', she dives into the concept of abundant thinking as a crucial part of healing and moving forward.
Laura explains that it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of fear and scarcity, especially when longing for the life you had before cancer. But what if you could flip the script and start expecting abundance instead? Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Laura shows how recognizing and changing your expectations can lead to a more fulfilling life. She emphasizes that abundant thinking isn't about ignoring the challenges but about building a foundation of self-awareness and compassion.
By recalling past successes, you can give your brain the evidence it needs to believe that good things can happen again. Laura's approach is all about choosing your narrative—will it be one of fear and scarcity or one of abundance and hope? Tune in to discover how you can start practicing abundant thinking and create a life that's even better than before breast cancer.
