Author Gives Hope to Breast Cancer Survivors

And the third step is to create an action plan and make small changes everyday. As St Francis of Assisi once said, “Start by doing what’s necessary, and then what’s possible, and very soon you’re doing the impossible.”

The seven-day road map in Gulp! coaches people through this process so that they can move through change faster and with less stress.

Q: How has your life improved since implementing the course yourself in respect to healing past wounds and looking forward to a happy future?

A. Gulp! has become a life philosophy for me. I used to be one of those people with loads of ideas, yet very actually made it into reality. Now I’m more aware about being true to myself and creating a life that truly fulfills me. So these days when I get an idea, the first thing I do is work through the seven-day road map. What I find is that my fear quickly dissolves and I feel energized and enthusiastic about taking action.

It’s amazing how subtle, yet profound, your shifts can be when you take action and make small steps everyday.

Q: What can you say to fellow breast cancer survivors that will help them understand that they have to give up living life passively and must take the bull by the horns?

 A. My advice to breast cancer survivors is to use this experience as a catalyst for really creating a life that fulfills and nourishes you. When you’ve faced breast cancer, other challenges in your life fade in comparison. So take advantage of this. Write down what you want your life to look like at the end of the year. Identify what your biggest fears are. Put plans in place for how you can move forward step by step. And above all, believe in yourself and follow your heart.
