Finding True Balance Beyond the Calendar with Laura Lummer
But if we can learn to really look at what our thoughts are and understand how to manage our urges. And in that awareness itself we are in the process and in the flow of creating the life we want.
Ever felt like you’re constantly juggling work, health, family, and social commitments, only to end up more stressed? Laura Lummer, host of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', knows this struggle all too well. In this episode, she shares her journey of redefining what balance means, especially while living with cancer. Laura initially thought balance could be achieved by perfectly scheduling every aspect of life. But she soon found that this approach only added to her stress.
Plan B was to focus only on what she loved and what felt good, but even that proved to be overwhelming. Laura then had a revelation: true balance isn't something you can plan on a calendar because life is inherently unpredictable. Instead, she suggests focusing on being present in the moment and managing your thoughts and urges. This episode dives into practical tips like mindful eating, participating in challenges like the 5 Day Sugar Challenge, and embracing self-compassion.
Laura’s insights offer a fresh perspective on how to navigate life’s chaos with grace and create a fulfilling, balanced life, even amidst the challenges of breast cancer.
