I ordered a Coke ( which I don't normally drink ). &nbsp;She admonished me saying, " That is indicated in some cancers ! &nbsp;It is the last thing that you should be drinking right now. "</p> <p>I said, " But I already HAVE cancer and they are going to treat me for it so I want to enjoy the Coke as much as possible NOW because once the radiation and meds start it will handle the Coke effects&nbsp;too ! " &nbsp; And then we both laughed our butts off. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270870 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 04:04:34 +0000 Anonymous 1270870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the tip. Thinking about breathing ( when to inhale and exhale) makes me light headed and dizzy. At least it's a distraction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270836 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:17:13 +0000 Jaime 1270836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270830 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:11:54 +0000 Debbie 1270830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip and one I will use! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270746 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 01:29:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1270746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breathe in.....</p> <p>Breathe out........and sing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270738 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 01:17:55 +0000 Carla 1270738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cake for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270709 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 00:53:28 +0000 Aida 1270709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great tip!

Hah, Vildy. I hope the blogger is doing okay.&nbsp;</p> <p>We might not be in control of a situation, but we <b>are</b> in control of how we think about the situation. That is the most powerful thing of all, and at the heart of our well being.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270348 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:01:18 +0000 Vildy 1270348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's brilliant. I occasionally read a comedy writer mommy blogger because she survives one disaster after another. I picture her confronting whatever's bothering me and rubbing her hands knowing she has grist for another column. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270346 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:59:16 +0000 LACeleste 1270346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This tactic is coming to me at EXACTLY the right time. &nbsp;One million thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270343 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:54:20 +0000 MsMary 1270343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great, Angie!&nbsp; I will definitely give it a try!&nbsp; Thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-coping-strategy#post-1270341 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:54:02 +0000 ramya 1270341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.

When you are angry, frustrated or annoyed:&nbsp;</p> <p>- Breath in and say: "How can this....."</p> <p>- Breath out and say: "......be funny? ".&nbsp;</p> <p>- And think about the situation<i> that way.&nbsp;</i></p> <p>It helps. Empowering.&nbsp;</p>
