Sharing and Reflecting During the Holidays

The holidays can be a hectic time. Amid your various commitments, it’s important to take some time to relax, reflect on the past year, and spend time with your family and friends.

When asked where they feel most content, many Prostate 8 participants have said that they are happiest at home or with their family. If you feel the same way, share your goals and achievements with them, related or unrelated to your cancer. If you are still trying to adjust to the Prostate 8 goals, talk about it with your friends and family—they might have some ideas for you, and can provide encouragement. 

Having a support network can help you accomplish your goals. Tell your family about your experience with the Prostate 8 trial, and discuss the lifestyle changes you have been making. Work toward the Prostate 8 goals with their help: Go for a hike together, or cook a recipe from the website. You might motivate others to adopt some of the healthy habits, too!

Think about what you’ve done in the past year—you’ve been managing your prostate cancer and, by enrolling in this trial, you’ve made great strides toward maintaining your health for the long term. This is a big accomplishment! We’ve enjoyed seeing your progress through your text messages and the Fitbit group. Take some time to reflect on your successes and achievements.


Happy holidays!
