Creative Heroes: Healing Through Art and Heart with Mary Carroll Moore (Cancer Survivor)
Mary Caroll Moore heroically overcame her battle with cancer and helps others untap their creative healing powers through writing, art and music. Mary is a bestselling and award-winning author, chef and former cooking school instructor, artist and a breast cancer survivor. You can reach Mary at her website https://www.marycarrollmoore.com/
Some of the highlights Mary shares:
- Research shows that writing, art and music aid in the healing process
- Expressing yourself creatively facilitates healing
- By saving others we also save ourselves
- To make writing more powerful in the healing process, write with deliberate intent. Describe the scenario that traumatized you, how you felt then, and how you feel now.
- Remember to reach out and ask for help and support when going through trauma
- Host a "hat party" for a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer, of plan one for yourself
- I don't want to just survive, but thrive!
- Cancer is an opportunity to evaluate your life and decide what else you'd like to do. It can be a doorway to new possibilities
- My job is to find the joy
- Our bodies heal when we're in a parasympathetic dominant state - the more we can relax and feel peace, the quicker our body can heal itself
- Finding joy in eating and growing food
- Creativity is more than just art, gardening is also a way to participate in the creation process
- Mary's mother was a World War II pilot - example of heroism
- Heroism can be personal as we transform ourselves
- What is a hero? Someone who doesn't put limits on themselves and serves others
- And more
