DESCRIPTION

In this course we will discover new habits to help us feel safe and healthy and explore ways to begin forming them as well as ways to make these changes sustainable.  We will discuss different type of MEDS (Mindfulness, Exercise, Diet and Sleep) that can assist us in (re)connecting to our body and regain control, stability and strength as we move forward. 

GOALS, BENEFITS, & RISKS

Our mind and body have changed from our experience with cancer.  The goal of this session is to learn ways we can support this new body by identifying a few new healthy habits we want to grow.  Understanding how habits are created using research backed science is a key to being able to create sustainable change.  You will be invited to become aware with grace and self-compassion of old habit that may no longer serve you and inspired to take steps in making changes that will benefit your present and future self.

Adopting new, healthier habits may protect you from future serious health problems.  New habits, like healthy eating and regular physical activity, sleep habits and learning to be present may also help you manage your weight and have more energy. After a while, if you stick with these changes, they may become part of your daily routine, part of the new you.
