Calmer Self

One foot in the comfort
One foot in the glamour
Totally pampered today....
Top secret...all will be revealed later in the year.
Wore my new slippers from 🙂🧡🙂

This is how I will now be talking about myself and my business.

Since my Cancer diagnosis at the end of 2022 I have been through massive changes and that is, naturally, reflected in my business.

I have learnt so much from my Cancer Experience and had a wonderful team around me to guide me through.
I am also very grateful that I had my own trusted Calmer Self Method to use. It served me so well.

I now want to help people that way I have been helped.

I am passionate about being part of the team to help others navigate their way through Cancer.

Starting to get my 'business head' on now the chemo fogginess is lessening 🙂
I will still be teaching my trusted Calmer Self Method but with a focus on helping people who have Cancer.

Going through this myself for the last two years has taught me so much and the coping strategies in my Calmer Self Method have been hugely beneficial.
I am so glad they were there for me and my desire is for everyone who is faced with Cancer to have these too.
My aim is to take away the fear and ease the anxiety that Cancer brings.
I want to be there for them from Diagnosis, through Treatment and onto Recovery

So my 6 Stage Programme will still consist of :-

1. Recognising and Releasing Stress and Anxiety and Finding your Calm, Happy Centre.
2. Letting go of Guilt..especially around Self Care.
3. Sitting with Difficult Emotions.
4. Gentle Questioning.
5. Getting a Good Night's Sleep
6. Starting your Day in a Positive Way.
......which I'm sure you can see will help greatly with everything people will have to face.......(more details on how this will help in later posts)
..but what I used to call my 'Maintenance Programme' . which was for people who wanted to continue geting support from me after they'd learnt the 6 Stages, will now be called
💝 ' Forward Momentum'!!!
I really think this will fit so much better with people as we navigate together their very own Cancer Experience and are looking to find their way forward and embrace the changes they have dealt with.

Massive thanks to the wonderful https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100033656926880
for gifting me this brilliant name for it. It's perfect 😍

This came up when I was talking about my new direction at the amazing Affinity Business Mastermind meetings that the fabulous Fiona Allman-Treen runs for us. (I'll put more details of this in the comments.)
There is so much great support within this group.
I love it and am very grateful to everyone who regularly attends.

At the moment I am taking small steps towards this new direction by making changes to my website.
I am switching my colour from the bright orange of the Sacral Chakra to a more golden yellow to represent the Solar Plexus Chakra which is our powerhouse, our core and our centre of creativity.

More to come soon 💛

Wanted to share these pics here to give people hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
In the first pic I was really struggling while going through my breast cancer treatment and the second pic shows the positive changes that a year can make.
I am lucky to have such a wonderful network of beautiful souls who love and support me and a great big toolbox of coping strategies from my very own Calmer Self Method which have helped me on my way......comment ' yes please' and I'll be happy to share them with you 🧡

Just had to share this memory picture here...it popped up on my memories on Facebook

This time last year I had my 6th round of chemo which was the last one of my
'Big chemo cocktail' ( the next 18 rounds of chemo were much less brutal).

I am very grateful to the many beautiful souls who have supported me through this whole experience.
I have now had all my chemo, radiotherapy and 2 surgeries.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and am building my strength, stamina, immunity and confidence and enjoying taking small steps back into a social life.

I am getting my business head on again too and will be sharing how it is evolving very soon.
Watch this space !!!.

Exciting times ahead.
🧡🙂🧡

I am so excited to be able to share with you all that I am now volunteering for Look Good Feel Better UK at their Skincare and Make Up Workshops .
This amazing charity supports people affected by Cancer in a very special way.

I atteneded one of their workshops last year when I was right in the middle of my breast cancer treatment and it was such a joy.

I was nervous to go out due to my lowered immunity and the side effects of chemotherapy but I was made so welcome, learnt a lot about how to care for my skin and do my make up in a different way, and meet up with people that were going through similar to me.

It did me so much good that there and then I vowed to become a volunteer as soon as I felt well enough...... as a way of giving back a little.

I am proud to say I have now completed my training and will be attended my first workshop tomorrow evening.

If you have been affected by cancer and would like to come along to one of these fabulous workshops please let me know in the comments and I can point you in the right direction.

Do you remember to take things 'Step by Step'?

I have been reminded of the importance of taking one step at a time recently.
After my latest surgery I had to step back a little from the exercise routine I have been creating for myself to build my strength, immunity and confidence as I navigate my way through my Breast Cancer Experience, and I felt frustrated and worried that I might loose my motivation.

This is one of the songs I listen to while I exercise and it has a great message for me too.
To remember that ...
"...any step, however small, even if it is backwards, is progress." ⭐

I find music so uplifting and inspiring.
Do you use music to support you exercising?
Do you have songs that help motivate you and give you important messages?
Share them here for everyone.
We can all do with a little joy on a Monday 😍

I had such a great time yesterday at Innovation Centre in Hastings at the Affinity Business Initiative meeting.

Fantastic women's support group led by the amazing Fiona Allman-Treen of FAT promotions.

Fiona shares her wealth of business wisdom and everyone who attends is welcoming and supportive too.

I am slowy getting my business head back on and am getting so much helpful advice from this great group on how my Calmer Self Method will become new and improved.

I can't believe how productive we all are as we also have so much fun.

Thank you Fiona and everyone who regularly attends.

Next one is Wednesday 17th July 4pm -6pm.

I wanted to share the experiences I have been through since my Cancer diagnosis at the end of 2022.
I am lucky to be loved and supported by so many wonderful souls in such healing ways...one of them is just feeling safe enough to be able to talk openly and honestly about my roller coaster of emotions.
This is what the wonderful Trish Campbell gave me here. Listen to our conversation and let me know if any of it resonates with you.

My hope is that this will help take some of the fear and uncertainty away from those who are faced with similar and for the people that love them. 😍

My Cancer Experience.'From diagnosis to recovery.' Trish Campbell holding space for Nadine. I am so grateful to Trish Campbell for holding this safe space for me to be able to share some of my Cancer Experience.There is great benefit for me in and ...

The wonderful Trish Campbell and I will be having a LOVE ME 'chit chat' again on Wed 8th May . It will be based around one of Trish's brilliant poems
' No rewards for shortcuts'.
This is something I believe to be true......everything I set out to do takes me longer than I think it will and, if I try to take a 'shortcut' I usually just have to start over and do things the proper way.
A lesson I obviously need constantly reminding of as life has thrown me some curveballs over the last few years that are taking longer than I thought they would to get through.
I'd love to hear if you agree with this and maybe share an experience of why 🙂
As usual, Trish and I will be sharing our own experiences and what we have learned.
Please put any questions you might have for us in the comments and we'll be sure to answer them.
Join us live if you can over on Trish's instagram. ( I'll put the direct link in the comments)

Finally got to see the sunrise this morning
Happy 1st May.

Had an honest and open discussion with the wonderful yesterday about my cancer experience.......over a year since diagnosis.....ever changing and always learning
Will be on my YouTube Channel soon.
