Are you struggling to make a change in your health?

I often hear from people who really want to feel better, but they are unsure where or how to start.

I always recommend taking an incredibly honest look at your dietary practices and sleep habits. For example, we can sometimes unintentionally convince ourselves that we only stay up late on our phones every once in a blue moon, but actually, we’re doing this three or four times a week.

This kind of habit observance is super important, but I’m also curious to know what truly motivates you.

What drives your desire to make a change? What do you notice in your own life? What doesn’t feel right to you?

Health and wellness can be complex, and part of the value of working with a practitioner like me or someone similar is the opportunity to have someone else perceive us and reflect an assessment through a finely tuned lens. (I seek treatment and guidance from Chinese medicine practitioners too.) Yet, in lots of instances, we go to these practitioners with at least an inkling about some behavioral or cognitive change we need to make, and we’re ready to do something about it.

From my perspective, that’s the place to start. Yes, take that close look at your diet and sleep. In addition, take note of the undercurrent that inspires you to seek care and change.

Maybe you have little kids and you want to be able to run around with them with strength and vigor for years to come.

Maybe you have painful periods and - even though you’ve been told that it’s just “part of being a woman” - you sense that the pain is pathological. You might be motivated by a future desire to have children and a curiosity to know how to have a healthy cycle.

Maybe you’ve entered your wiser years and you want to be able to breathe more deeply, to relax more fully in the moment.

These glimmers of motivation and inspiration are important. Keeping them at the front of our minds can help us get started and continue to serve us by bolstering the formation of new habits along the way to fuller health.

Are you struggling to get started with changes in the way you take care of yourself? You are welcome to reach out to me by responding here directly or you can schedule a free compatibility chat to share more.

Warmly,
