For most of us, life is stressful. We get caught up in our routines and mile long to-do lists. A lot of us think, “In the future I am going to enjoy life’s ‘moments’ more often, take better care of myself.” Yet, life keeps throwing us curve balls and we forget to start that future life we dream about right now. Now, add to that a cancer diagnosis for you or someone you love. That sure gives you perspective. At weSPARK, we know that you are afraid. Thinking about death, even the slightest possibility, jolts you awake like nothing else. You hope and try your best to “be positive,” but at times your hope is undoubtedly matched with feelings of fear and powerlessness. Life is complicated, beautiful, amazing, joyful, scary and totally unpredictable.
At weSPARK, we offer you free support groups so that you don’t feel so isolated and alone, questioning all your thoughts and feelings. They are real and they do matter. We also have free yoga or tai chi every day, so you can relax in a safe place where the people surrounding you get what you are going through. They know you have to find a “new normal.” weSPARK offers guided imagery and meditation to help you start that future life now, when you really need it. Learn how to “be still,“ think about what you truly want your life to look like (outside of the doctor’s office), and begin to find ways to make that happen. We offer you all this in a safe haven that we call home.
May was a great month: two guided imageries, lots of yoga, meditation, jewelry making and a fabulous lecture about cancer, health insurance and the law. In June, we are offering a workshop facilitated by Denise Van Arsdale-West, CPCC, Life Coach. The first session, Thursday, June 18, at 10:30 a.m., you’ll learn to sit still, be with yourself and visualize the “you” that you would love to be. The second session, Thursday, June 25 also at 10:30 a.m., you will, with some guidance if you need it, create a vision board to help you externalize your hopes, dreams and goals.
If you have never been to weSPARK, you need to call us so we can meet and talk (our Intake). If you are already part of our weSPARK family, join us in June for this special workshop. It’s sure to be an introspective, interesting, possibly spiritual, definitely optimistic exercise. It all depends on you. We think you will enjoy it.
