[QUOTE="memememeiii, post: 1786877, member: 150648"] Completely right re. all the adult learned stuff, namely on fear. It's a good reminder. I have long lived thinking about this, and living in the present moment mentally. I have also long endured probably too much and am looking at what changes must happen to sustain these ways of living (that are healthier). Continuing on. Your challenges are the resonating with mine (not the cancer, but the colon thing)...my gut issues kicked off for real last year, and I was so SHOCKED...I still am, though I'm on a treatment program for ulcerative colitis (which my mother has). A colleague told me she was faced with needing to heal her gut some years ago and knows a lot, so she'll be a resource. I look at these moments as weird blessings, for the facts will probably save my life or help me live longer. I have long lived with the fear that I'm going to die sick, disabled, poor, and on the streets. Long story I won't go into. I'm a professional with a career, but am rebuilding financially. Every bodily alarm that rings sends me into a spin, and you can see that through my vigilance here. What needs to really happen is I need to get to a healthy place physically and mentally, and I'm under no illusions about it. Stress has played an impact I can't deny on my health, so I suppose that's why meditation is as much of a discipline to grow (a practice) as the clean eating and exercise. That's a LOT of change in one go. Definitely baby steps. I wish you well with your journey and effort. Fear can motivate, but shouldn't have the reins. [/QUOTE]
