Holidays are often a difficult time of year, whether or not cancer is in the picture. This year will be my first Christmas without Mom, plus she had a December birthday, too! As I get older, the holidays become simpler and more bittersweet.
I am getting better at letting a lot of meaningless details and excess materialism fade away. As cancer survivors, we know what matters in life and holidays and what just isn’t important. I think that knowledge is one of our most important cancer super powers. Actively let go of the stressful holiday stuff that truly just doesn’t matter. You are a cancer survivor, and you can do this!
As a two-time cancer survivor and a clutter clearing motivational speaker-trainer, I want to help you. Before cancer, I was presenting holiday seminars to groups of stressed out people to encourage and support them in their efforts to simplify their holidays. Let go of the holiday "stuff." So much of that just doesn’t matter.
