Visualisation and Metaphors
My courage is stronger than my fear. While fear's hot breath lingered on the nape of my neck during those raw days following my lobular breast cancer diagnosis a year ago last week - 1st November, 2019 - this was a sentence I desperately wanted to believe was true. I said it to myself over and over. Stuck it on my mirror, replayed it on loop inside my mind. At first, I will admit to you, I didn't think it could be true, it was all too much to handle; but I wished so hard that it might just be true. so I whispered it to myself, when no one else was near to hear; I whispered it in my head, gently, while waiting for the shower to warm up. It started to become part of my thought package, my program. I started to believe it. Now I really feel it; just saying it to myself calms me, softens my shoulders and straightens my back.
