There is a growing effort around the country to help cancer patients exercise, as the benefits of doing so become increasingly clear.

Last year, a landmark trial showed that colon cancer patients were less likely to see their cancers come back and had a better quality of life when they participated in a structured exercise program with a trainer-coach. Later research showed it saved health systems money — a combination of benefits rarely seen with cancer therapies.

What we practice repeatedly, becomes our habit.

That kind of day!

After 28 years of teaching Pilates, mostly one-on-one, I’ve seen this pattern many times—people often believe progress comes from simply doing more.

More repetitions.
More effort.
More challenging exercises.

But the body does not change through repetition alone.

It changes when someone begins to understand what they are doing—and can finally perceive their own movement more accurately.

Almost everything we do links back to the things we consciously or unconsciously think we have to do to be wanted, needed, valued, and loved. That's societal programming, and it's heavy, especially worldwide now, because Western ideology has poisoned the world with busyness.

You have to take ownership of the fact that you're the author of your life.

And if you're not the author, then you have to ask… who put this idea in my head? Who in my environment mirrors what I am replicating? Who in my environment is insecure and afraid? Who in my environment thinks there's not enough to go around? And is that really true for me now?

If it’s not true for you, and it’s not the life you want to live or the role you want to play? Then you have to get clear on what myth or story you want to create for yourself and step into it every day.

Love and chi

Just move!

At the very end of Episode 8, I asked my longtime mentor and friend, Dr. John Sievert, if he had any parting words for our listeners.

Without hesitation, he smiled and said:
"Movement is medicine." Then he added that it's something he probably says 20 times a day.
(Comment MOVE and I'll send you the full Episode 8)

Those three words capture so much of John's clinical philosophy.

Movement doesnt have to be "pushing through pain". It can be about finding movement that feels safe, rebuilding trust in your body and nervous system, and replacing fear with confidence through positive movement experiences.

When people understand what's happening in their bodies and learn how to move well, pain often becomes less frightening and more manageable (education + experience).

The goal isn't simply to reduce symptoms, it's to help people return to the lives they want to live, "return to life"!

It's a simple message, but one worth repeating, maybe even 20 times a day. A great reminder for our own wrllness and that of our clients.
