Episode 177: Less Is More - Appreciating the Little Things

This week we are switching our mindsets. Rather than focusing on the negative, and what you might be missing out on, focus on how far you have come.

Less is more with screen time. Less can be more with treatment. Less is more with alcohol. More is not always better. Be happy with what you are doing, try to simplify things.

This week, Heather reveals the mental shift she experienced during her treatment and subsequent maintenance. Instead of dwelling on statistics, Heather didn't just seek more time.

Heather consistently embraced the possibilities and maintained a belief in "what ifs" and "I have a chance." While fear often lurked, she chose to stay proactive, reshaping her perspective positively. She led with her mind, and her body followed suit.

We come to terms with the things beyond our control and persevere.

Heather regularly expressed gratitude for her body's capabilities. Rather than harboring anger and self-criticism, she chose to reframe her perspective, recognizing her body as the reason for her continued existence.

Heather shares her experience of setting her initial goal: to live long enough to witness Sydney's first day of kindergarten, and the profound emotions she felt upon achieving that goal.
