Stress and Cancer Free!
Blog | March 27, 2015
Heather has posted her comment on my latest coffee talk and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I sent her an email, and asked her to share her story with all of you guys.
“I decided to take a real picture of myself with my fresh scar to show you I’m for real about my healing process. I normally don’t even take pictures of myself!”
My father died of esophageal cancer in April of 2007. He died very quickly as well. I am just coming back to join you after a short break. I had a tumor in my abdomen and we thought it was cancer. My surgery was just this past December and I had some of my intestinal tract removed which was a brutal recovery. (I have been back in the ZGYM for a month now!) Although I have been working out with you for 5 years, my main issue was stress. It literally made me sick. I have since changed my life by combining fitness with better eating habits AND changing my mood through positive thinking about EVERYTHING. I focus on the things I love and never think about my body fat, debt or anything that makes me feel stressed. I just live in LOVE to raise my vibrations and heal myself from the inside out. Long story short, I have ZERO cancer. They can’t even find a trace of ANY disease…not even Crohn’s or Colitis. The doctors can’t tell me why or how, but I know how I healed myself in the last 3 months. I truly believe that constant positive affirmation and living in a state of love has helped heal me.
I agree that detection is needed, however I really think that the awareness needs to be more about healthy living as a whole. just 2 days ago a friend shared great video with me that I want to share with you, Zuzka and everyone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=samIbgtvJ4Q). I think this is right up your alley and the principles they talk about are just how I have been trying to live my life. It really makes you think about how we as a society will treat illness with drugs instead of treating ourselves naturally, BEFORE we have a problem.
P.S. I had hired a trainer last year for 3 months because I thought I wanted to do a bikini competition but that’s not me. He put my body through hell and my calories were too low. You have the BEST blog hands down and I keep coming back every year to work out with you because nothing works quite as well! You are not like the others that are overly sexual or obsessed with competition lifestyle. You are just healthy, happy and genuine. Your beginner series helps me on days that I feel weak and your X workouts are awesome and challenge me!!! I can almost keep up with you now with minimal modifications.

Thank you, girl! ALL OF YOU are so beautiful! I see so many of your gorgeous faces in the comments and I am happy to finally connect with you all.
I wasn’t always like this! I was an asshole in my 20s. I’m sorry but I was. Anyone can change. It’s a choice. I no longer blame other people or past for my problems. I just make better choices and I choose happiness. ❤️

I should actually explain that last comment better…what I meant to say is that I endured some really horrible things in my life and I let it turn me from being a beautiful person inside, into a jerk that always expected the worst. I did not care about being nice anymore because I couldn’t understand why I kept getting kicked while I was down so to speak. I was always on the defense in my 20s and I turned into something ugly…something I was definitely not. My father always said that I was such a friendly and sweet girl. I put that version of me behind a wall and blamed my life experiences for my bad attitude.
Sometimes bad things happen that we have no control over, but we can’t let it eat us up inside. Even when I changed my attitude towards others, I STILL had issues with self esteem, self doubt, trust in relationships etc. I still worried and stressed about everything and gave myself anxiety a lot. I was sick to my stomach all of the time. It wasn’t until I let it go by removing toxic situations and people in my life that I really turned around. My close friends and family see that in me now. They all say, “You look so happy!” and it’s true. For the first time in many many YEARS I am happy and I feel beautiful.

In any case anybody can judge you. And even if your experiences are not an excuse for being a “jerk”, you know what, I don’t know how I, myself, would have dealt with what you dealt with, and what I would have become either … the important thing is that you’re who you are now, and you feel accordingly to your actions ! And that’s so beautiful to read “I am happy and I feel beautiful” … seriously that warms my heart 😀 have a nice Sunday Heather 🙂 ans see you in the ZGym ! Thanks for being honest and for sharing your story, that’s really really empowering <3

LOVE this. You are just an inspiration and role model for the rest of us. I agree with all the things said…. our mind is our biggest muscle and we need to for on flexing it more. Any advice on “how-to” to do? What steps did you take/ or habits did you pick up to only focus on the positive…..
BTW…. you glow is beautiful:-)

Thank you!!! When I feel mentally drained or frustrated, I close my eyes, breath deeply and think about things that make me happy. My happiness are my kids! I have a 10-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. They do challenge me some days as a single Mom, but I think about their smiles, our memories and I just try to make myself and them LAUGH! We take ourselves way too seriously sometimes. I have to remember that I am their rock and if I want them to be healthy, I need to be happy and speak to them with kindness and respect. That is how I regain focus. Find your happy place.

Thank you Heather for such an inspiring story! I have been doubting so many things lately! Your story has really uplifted me. I really want to see a change in this world when it comes to healing, and helping people. Many negative things have been happening so often around the world. Everyday I hear more and more NEGATIVE in the world. I know there is a better way through love, and I am trying to tell people. Thank you for putting TRUTH, and true positive healing in the world, and showing that is can happen!

That was the wrong link I had copied above but it’s still an incredibly beautiful video when you feel like there is too much negative in the world.

Heather, way to go! you are so right…for me, the journey is the actual “goal”. We must embrace and enjoy it. Competition is too fake and temporary for me, a healthy consistent living will make a difference between Warriorz and others. People kinda laughed when I had a book 15 years ago about “how to age well”…they think aging starts at 70yr?! I can see nowadays the difference with my peers that have done nothing for the last 15 years, I can’t imagine for the next 20 years! Let’s embrace the journey and love it so we can live long and healthy and be with our beloved ones for many more years to come.
