Episode 3142:

In part two, Sabrina explains how she turned her attention to the few things she could still control during treatment, from getting up at the same hour every morning to fifteen minutes of slow walking that eventually became hiking and swimming. She shares how that sense of agency, paired with a gains perspective that counted what she had received instead of what illness had taken, moved her the rest of the way toward unconditional self-love. It is a practical close to a story about rebuilding the relationship you have with yourself.

Quotes to ponder:

"Suffering is like a pot of stew simmering on the stove."

"Instead of ruminating over the things I've lost because of cancer, I learned to open my eyes to the rewards I've gained."

"No matter what failure I encounter, no matter how hard I fall, I always search for the silver lining."
