Can Cancer Coaching Compound Your Chances and Choices? Part 1

After years of coaching and personal experience involving an avalanche of calls, confrontations, confusion, concerns, consultations, conversations, emails, and questions concerning people being diagnosed with cancer, it was time to condense and consolidate the life lessons learned. These blog posts, Can Cancer Coaching Compound Your Chances and Choices? Parts 1 and 2, are an attempt to share the information I found helpful and important if I or a close family member or friend received the Big C diagnosis.

Please read the previous two blog posts before this one to understand the full thinking process about Weak Links, “Can Your Weak Links Wreck Your Life? Part 1.” and “Can Your Weak Links Wreck Your Life? Part 2.”

How often do you invest time to review your lifestyle to identify the rewards and risks of your decisions? How well do you analyze and calculate the weak links that can cause cancer and disease? What is your long-term happiness and health worth? Awareness, education, and information are essential to protect your quality of life. With the sad and sobering statistics for cancer, now might be a great time to do an audit, checkup, and detailed review to identify, manage, and mitigate most of your health hazards and lifestyle weak links that may contribute to cancer.

Preparing for the “Big C” Diagnosis

This blog summarizes solutions, strategies, and suggestions I have studied to be prepared if I or someone I cared about was given the Big C diagnosis. Once someone receives the dreaded news, they are too stunned to think logically or objectively. Instead, most people go into emotional, mental, and physical overload and overwhelm. Therefore, many decades ago, I started making a list and checking and updating it often to locate the education and information before needing it.

It seems logical to think the same information about cancer prevention would also help reduce many other disease risks. I invited you to read this blog and create a comprehensive checklist and call-to-action journal with an action plan and blueprint to help improve your lifestyle wisdom lessons and minimize lifestyle weak links.  When you are willing to identify potential lifestyle weak links, you can learn techniques, therapies, tips, and treatments that minimize many risks. Implementing these strategies and suggestions may help prevent problems such as cancer and disease that sabotage your happiness, health, and longevity.

This blog continues an earlier theme about utilizing the power of powerful questions to help transform your life. Our actions, belief systems, habits, and questions determine our long-term happiness and health. This blog is dedicated to improving your happiness and health as you minimize cancer risks and weak links. Consider rereading the previous blogs regarding action steps to minimize and prevent as many weak links as possible.

The passion and purpose of Morningstar NEWS are to help people with education, information, inspiration, and motivation to learn successful solutions, strategies, suggestions, and systems to improve their lifestyle and quality of life. Weak links often lead to cancer and diseases that could be avoided. You will find important information and helpful signals on your dashboard that will indicate if and when a weak link is present. An annual review and regularly checking your dashboard to look for weak link indicators can avoid wrecking your quality of life.
