Yolaine

Since the return of Yolaine’s cancer after a 5-year hiatus, her approach has been to take control of what she can through visualization, meditation, self massage and physical activity.

She certainly keeps herself active – she walks 40-60 km per week, does weight training, core training, yoga, and she’s a member of the Busting Out dragon boat team!

This picture was taken at a bra decorating contest during a festival dinner hosted by Busting Out.

Yolaine writes:

I started to evaluate my own journey by giving that special time for reflecting on my personal and professional life. I discovered more aspects about myself and feel grateful to the cancer to give the chance to discover myself in a way I never did before. This was the very important part. Accepting this challenge as a gift as curious as it sounds.

I draw my strength from my family and my friends. Keeping fit and stay positive. Life is a journey. Every step is important even the difficult one.

My advice will be getting involved in decision making and put you first. Keep yourself active and have a good laugh. Surround yourself with positive people and appreciate every day. Keep in contact with people and take one day at the time.
