Breast Cancer and Stress: What’s the Connection?
Well, October, National Breast Cancer Month, is almost over, and I realize I should post at least ONE post on the topic…
I just went over to my Breast Cancer Survivor’s blog and posted something there, and I thought, hm, I think you all might like a comment too.
You see, I’m a huge fan of Lawrence LeShan’s, who wrote “Cancer as a Turning Point,” and I have to say that his book was MY turning point in life.
Did it make life easier? Not always. Actually a bit more complicated. But I had more fun! And was happier.
LeShan calls cancer “despair manifested on a cellular level.” His rationale is that if we are so miserable that we don’t feel there’s much to live for, our immune system will be happy to help us on your journey out of this world. Now if we don’t want to take it that far, we better shape up.
His book is all about how to do that. And I made it my bible. Together with an amazing set of cassette tapes by the late Roger Mellott: Stress Skills for Turbulent Times.
If you can round up a copy, get it. It’s rapidly disappearing, but you may be able to still get a used copy on Amazon.com or Ebay.
Do try to get the real thing, i.e., “Stress Skills for Turbulent Times,” not the other one. The first one is MUCH better and more fun to listen to, though if you can’t find it anymore, the alternative version, which I think is called “Stress Management for Professionals,” will also work.
Of course you can also get MY stress relief ebook 
Just click on the pretty book cover on the top right.
And find things that make you happy. Then do them!
Have a happy day!
