Learning to be and live better: A trial and error account of the steps I took to change my life and self. [P.S. The bowel cancer part is not obligatory]
A few months short of my 58th birthday, I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, which resulted in an operation and chemotherapy. It was coming face to face with my mortality, that finally got me to get serious about my life – and death. I’d tried to change habits, deal with my anxiety, sort out the things I wasn’t happy with and confront how I’d been living my life many times before, but had always given up after a while. Now I had no choice, but I also had no idea where to start, what to do or how to survive and then live a healthier, calmer and more meaningful life.
My journey to free myself of stress, fear, the past, anxiety, and unhealthy habits, of allowing others to dictate my worth, of letting others control my life, of procrastination, indecisiveness and not being in control of my feelings had begun. Annoyingly I discovered the key to permanent change was simple and that’s what I want to share.
I’d like to do some research on what causes bowel cancer, by comparing lifestyles before diagnosis with others.
