being an acupuncturist doesn’t mean i suddenly became the healthiest person alive!!
sometimes i take the Midol.
sometimes i drink the iced latte.
sometimes i eat the crunchy salad and fries knowing full well what my textbooks would say about it.
and honestly? i think that makes me a better practitioner.
because healing isn’t about being perfect. it’s about understanding your body, listening to it, and doing what’s realistic for YOU in that moment.
TCM has taught me so much, but one thing it’s definitely taught me is that stress, guilt, and extremes help nobody.
we’re humans first. practitioners second 🤍
which one are you guilty of too 👀
