Bill Lee-Emery: Healing Through and Thriving After Cancer
Bill covers so much this episode. The power lies in how he speaks first hand about his lived experience of life. Everything from the recognition of how contemporary society effected his health to motivate him to leave a traditional job, to witnessing the way people were effected by the way they were spoken to and spoke to themselves, to his conscious choice to heal through and thrive after his shock cancer diagnosis.
Among the jewels of wisdom Bill shares is the power of our self narrative. Of obtaining a download of 24hours worth of self talk. What do you think? For me all of the thoughts aren’t totally thought out, but the negativity that can happen in my head some times… I wouldn’t talk to someone else like that and I would not be proud for someone to hear me talking to myself like that… Thank you Bill for offering this simple illustration to share your point. The narrative we tell ourselves is very important.
Previous guests have spoken about meaning and in our last episode I spoke about meaning, truth and perspective. I think that, in general, we can see how we give meaning to the would around us. I had not taken the idea further to consider if the meaning I give a thing, an experience, a thought, a perspective, an understanding, is useful or not. Bill asks us to consider it the meaning you prescribe to a thing have use, and what is that use? Is it constructive or is it necessary? Not that those two things are mutually exclusive, but this is a way of thinking I will employ more in the future.
