FIF - Finally it's Friday

Came into ... wait check that. I lugged meself to the studio this morning and my parnder Harry said, FIF. Caught my attention for a second till he explained the obvious Finally it's Friday.

So loads of things to be grateful for. This is an article that i read... and it is rather sobering because this happens in REAL life. I took the information off team rich wordpress and it is information that is very useful.

Do You Have A Cancer Personality?
Cancer cells are always present in our bodies. All it needs is a stimuli to trigger vicious growth. Cancer cells are actually healthy cells that “go haywire” under certain conditions. This could be caused by a physical stimuli like the exposure to certain foods or substances. Or it could be emotional one. When almost all of the mind’s resources is diverted to coping with the emotional onslaught, it let’s up it vigilance in fighting or controlling cellular damage. If the mind provides scant resources to the body’s defense mechanism i.e. the immune system, disease will have a free reign to take over the body.

Studies have shown that People with the following Personality Traits or Background have a greater Risk of Cancer:
Suffers traumatic events like personal loss such as a death or a divorce, loss of a job or money, moving to another location etc;
Harbors long-suppressed toxic emotions such as anger, resentment and/or hostility. Typically the cancer-susceptible individual internalizes such emotions and has great difficulty expressing them;
Exhibits an obsessive tendency toward carrying other people’s burdens or trying to please or getting others’ approval;
Type A Personality i.e. one who reacts adversely to stress or gets easily upset, often being unable to cope with the stress. Blow off steam if you must, but don’t carry it around with you;
Inability to resolve deep-seated emotional problems and conflicts, usually arising in childhood, often even being unaware of their presence.
Unable to “move on” i.e. finding closure for long standing problems or unable to turn to grieve to relief themselves from their emotional problems;
Feel that they have lost control of their lives, feel helpless and are unable to cope with daily living, or have low self-worth;
Don’t have interesting things to look forward to each day;
These feelings or traits are often calls for help, warning signs, telling you to slow down and take stock of your emotional situation.

What you can do if you have a Cancer Personality:
Workout in the gym;
Don’t over-drink to cope with stress. Hiding your fears and grief in drugs, alcohol, sweet or fat foods will not relieve your situation, but will damage your body;
Walking or jogging;
Finding a friend you can confide in;
Hire a therapist who will listen to you;
Get an interesting hobby to take you mind off your own troubles;
Look at the brighter side of life;
Get a pet;
Do Charity or Community work like volunteer helping the sick, elderly, poor or the helpless;
Start an activity that you have always wanted to do but have put off;
Stay Positive like Randy Pausch. Be Yourself – just kick out the bad stuff.


This is good advice. And if you dont know Randy Pausch ... google and you tube him. He died of pancreatic cancer but had such a great attitude that he made his last lecture on oprah. His story moves me to tears.

I guess the lesson is don't sweat the small stuff... which is easier said than done.But sometimes... these are the little things and we make a fuss over them when it is the big picture which we should be concerned with. I think to a certain extent many people can realte to the article above. My personal take...I reckon it is time to reaccess my emotions and get real with myself. So the moral of the story is if you feel the anger let it be felt and god knows the anger surging through my VEINS when I get into a fight. Then just to be all blase, I just say nothing is wrong when I JUST WANT TO SCREAM. okie. I think I will SCREAM the next time. better out than in and better for my health.
