Motivation and Inspiration

 

Getting a cancer diagnosis is an emotionally traumatic event.  It's scary, and shocking and consuming.  Medicine recognizes that the mental health of a person plays a large factor in their ability to persevere and fight though the situation.  We know that a confident attitude and mental fortitude is part of any successful cancer strategy.

 

One of the three core ingredients in our Battle Box are products that help with Motivation and Inspiration.   Any major health event provides lots of opportunity for self doubt and contemplation.  We want to make sure that our warriors are fully motivated to face the days ahead, fully inspired to be resilient day in and day out.


Being mentally strong is a large part of this fight, so we include products each month that will help maintain cognitive sharpness and emotional motivation.   It's about the attitude and mental space of the fighter, and every trainer in any combat situation will tell you the same. The goals must be identified, success has metrics that can be measured, people can accomplish great things if they have the right motivation and perspective.

We have included products like journals and mini digital recorders for capturing those ideas and thoughts that help give us focus.  We've reached out to 13 different Cancer Survivors who have faced this Battle and won!  We have their stories and we share them with our Fighters.  We include motivational quotes and inspirational images because we know how powerful these can be.


We're also realists.  We know that not every Battle ends in victory....85,000 Canadians and over 600,000 Americans die from Cancer every year.  As hopeful as we are, we need to be honest and keep it real.  Every Battle might not be a victory but it can still be a success, we can still fight a good fight and make sure our shit is taken care of.  Knowing we've got our plans organized can go a long way to giving a warrior peace of mind.  We find ways to help address those fears in our Battle Box as well, with dignity and strength because our fight isn't always for the life we want, sometimes it's for the death we want instead.  That's worth fighting for too and no man should face that fight alone!
