Lean into it... it being difficult things

I realized this week how unoriginal I am because I'm often inspired by others. However, being inspired is a great thing and I'm not going to call myself mean names (like unoriginal anymore!)

I saw a film preview this week at "The Best, Exotic Marigold Hotel" and it quoted the idea that you should "lean into fear or stress". I've liked this idea before when the show 30 Rock's Jack Donaghee said that "he could go deeper into the crevasse", referencing climbers who fall into ice cracks and crawl down to get out.  Sometimes, you need to embrace the unpleasant so that you can end it sooner or get a slightly better outcome. I don't "fight" my cancer or hate it because it's inside of me and I don't hate myself...there's the leaning! Instead, I eat my best options so that my body can focus on healing. I try to think, what would make my body work the least hard so that it can heal faster?

I had a sad week and when I'm sad I try not to blog because I've read a few scary cancer blogs. They made me feel terrified and that is the exact opposite of how I want others to feel. I'm feeling good today, I got my a.m. barf out of the way (crazy meds) and now I'm eating miso soup :). More on miso later as it is a stunning food choice!

I've really enjoyed your selections on the poll, although, they seem to be unanimously chocolate oriented! My answer was creamy like soup but it was a close second to salty like chips. Tell me what you like! is comfort food always junk food, in your opinion?
