Greatfully Well - Week 1: Introduction

Feb 28, 2021

It's Great When You're Grateful!

 

We are launching a special 5 week program designed to guide you into a habit of gratitude in order to enhance your well-being during and after cancer treatment.  This program is open to patients/survivors as well as caregivers.

The program begins on March 1st!

All participants will receive an email once a week (on Mondays, starting March 1st) with a link to the podcast interview regarding the week’s topic. We will also have a “Gratitude Action Step” each week, and participants will keep a gratitude journal.

This program is designed for you to do “on your own”, or with a virtual group meeting once a week, on Thursday evenings at 7pm. Let us know if you have any questions!

During week 1 Dr. Torelli shares about the following:

• What is gratitude?
• How can gratitude help during or after cancer treatment?
• What are the most important things to do when it comes to a lifestyle of gratitude?
• Example of how someone can reframe their perspective using gratitude.

 

WEEK 1 ACTION STEP:

4.     Name 5 things you are doing well currently.
