Choose to thrive...

You have several choices when you come to the realization that your death could be right around the corner. None of us are getting out of this gig on Earth alive but most people (especially young ones) think that they will last forever. I did. When you get to this crossroad you have several choices. You can either decide to:

1. Wallow in self-pity

2. Join support groups to discuss the cancer ad nauseum

3. Waste your cancer 

4. Plan your funeral

5. Become isolated

6. Become depressed

7. Try nothing new and just sit and watch mindless TV

8. Continue to eat franken crap food

9. Overeat, over-drink, over-exercise

10. Die with regret

Or...

1. Accept it
2. Educate yourself
3. Avoid Type C personality (talking about cancer 24/7)
4. Remove all stress and be completely authentic to yourself/your truth
5. Make every day count
6. Take your power back (like learning karate or Tai Chi)
7. Set goals; have gratitude: laugh as often as possible
8. Quit blaming yourself
9. Get massages, do acupuncture, do yoga or pilates
10. Eat to heal like it is a job.
