I feel like the fear created by my illness is going to haunt me forever. Help!

Coming back from an injury, sickness, stress or major setback can seem like a monumental task. As we inch back, step by step it can seem like we will never be able to feel good again. But instead of focusing on how far we have to go it is best to try and focus on how far we have come. The road to wisdom is a journey of one step in front of the other. Slowly we learn to appreciate the movement of our bodies and the spaciousness of our minds.

Be kind to yourself. Appreciate each step along the way especially when life hands you a difficult task. I am now recovering from cancer surgery and facing radiation. The progress is slow and the task at times is so difficult. However I am trying to look at the progress I have made and be grateful for the ability to take each step forward.
