based in Bristol came to Taunton to hold their 3 day course called Living Well Beyond and with Cancer. This was in the Education Academy at St Margaret's Hospice and I was lucky enough to get a place on it. Some of the topics covered were, Healthy Eating, with cookery demonstrations, Exercise, Spiritual Health, Finance Welfare, Mindfulness, Selfhelp techniques for relaxation, meditation and Imagery. I found the course extremely beneficial and I managed to put on my pause button and think about what matters to me, what do I want to do about and where do I want to be. We were encouraged to use the SMART technique , Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely when setting some personal goals to enhance our lives. I have made 3 very realistic personal goals with exercise, eating, and meditation and I will keep you posted :-)

I met amazing people on this course, and through sharing our experiences, I felt emotionally drained, however it did me also make realise how lucky I am. I did chuckle though when told how atheltic I must have been when I used to go swimming and got up to 50 lengths. Me atheltic :-)
Pressing my play button and back to reality, Holly came home with a fantastic report with room for targets and goals next year. Proud parent mode boosted for another week!!
