The School for Thoughts
Excerpt from my book.
I was a single parent of two young children when I received an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. It wasn’t long before terror took over my life, consuming my mind with worry and fear that my daughters would lose their mom. As the oncology professionals did their job, it became clear that my job was to stop the stream of anxious thoughts swimming through my head. The first thing I did was to attend a course on mindfulness. For eight weeks I was guided to return to the present moment. As an Executive Function specialist who has been trained to understand that we exist continuously in the present, I was confused by the approach and frustrated when the course didn’t help. It was in that moment I made the choice to look within myself, trust my inner wisdom and create my own mindfulness strategy based on my area of expertise, Executive Functioning.
I’m happy to say I beat breast cancer and overcame the debilitating and often overlooked mental battle that goes along with this diagnosis. The tool I developed to manage my thoughts through this difficult time was so instrumental to my health that I never stopped using it. Since my recovery numerous people have reached out to me in hopes that I would share my wellness method so they too could develop a conscious mindset. Their desire to learn along with their determination to heal inspired me to format this interactive, brain-based workshop.
Light & Love,
