Beginnings can be daunting. But with less judgment, we can nurture a higher quality of life for everyone.

With the beginning of a whole new year ahead of us, many decisions and unknown possibilities, it often feels like a fork in the road plagued with dualistic judgment. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Healthy or unhealthy. At Novah Healthcare, we encourage you, and teach you how, to look beyond this judgment so you can figure out what works best for YOU.

Many of us may feel the New Years pressure, from ourselves or others, to achieve every goal and new habit all at once. While goals are a wonderful thing to embrace in life, remember to also embrace balance and patience!

With balance, we understand that our well-being and overall sense of resilience includes trade-tradeoffs; every habit comes with pros and cons, it's up to us to decide what is ultimately best for us. Cutting out all your coping strategies immediately will likely result in an unsustainable level of stress. Leading us to the other important factor, patience! Real, lasting change takes time.

Wish everyone a safe, healthy and meaningful New Year from Novah Healthcare

Prioritizing self care during the holidays can be quite a challenge. For some, it can also feel selfish at a time defined by the spirit of giving. But this is an important reminder that our individual and collective resilience, our health and wellness, is highly shared and interrelated. When one of us prioritizes self care, many others will likely benefit. Just as well, when one of us takes far more than gives, those resources are drained from others.

The holiday season is a great opportunity to put this awareness into practice. To do our best not to judge those who are less fortunate. To share our resilience resources without overextending ourselves. To practice methods of self care without shame, in the spirit of giving and cultivating a connected environment for those around us.

Wishing all a safe and meaningful holiday from Novah Healthcare!

What is grounding? How can we learn this skill? Although this word is often misused in terms of forcing calm, positive emotions during times of stress — Grounding is actually about learning how to connect your body and mind back into physical, temporal reality. Here and now. Using our 5 senses.

Rather than forcing a sense of safety and calm during moments of legitimate threat — grounding helps us feel safe when we are triggered in moments that are actually non-threatening.

By learning how to ground yourself, by learning how to be more aware of and present in our daily experiences, we unlock vast potential in learning how to healthily respond to what troubles us VS constant reactivity.

We are often told to "just let go" and be happy... but HOW? While letting go may sound simple, it is often very confusing to know how, and difficult to actually do it. What are the mechanisms involved in the act of letting go? These are skills that CAN be taught and learned.

At Novah Healthcare, we focus on understanding these mechanisms so that you can develop those skills and build resilience. We want you to live a life not limited by your pain.

If we were to think of life and resilience as a game, using a round of poker as our analogy — your internal resilience resources would be your hand of cards, (purpose, beliefs, flexibility, openness, etc). Your external resources would be your stack of chips, (finances, support, community, etc). And the environment that affects your capacity to be resilient, to utilize these resources well, would be the community cards.

The question is... are you optimizing these resources? It can be all too easy to forget or neglect the things which support our resilience in life, internal and external. At Novah Healthcare, we help you identify them, learn the skills to optimize them, and how to apply them in your own life in a way that's unique and meaningful to YOU.

Resilience comes from within, and without. Internal and external factors and resources. Why is this so important to understand and embrace, not only as an individual but also as a community? One big reason, is because these resources are finite. We can overextend ourselves and become depleted, and we can share them with each other. Another important reason, is that once we become aware of these factors, identify these resources in our own life, then we can begin to develop our web of support, our toolbox of resilience.

Trust in one of your deepest strengths of all: to be present, to be wakeful.

At Novah Healthcare, we redefine what it means to be resilient as "conscious resilience." Not just grit or perseverance or attitude or force — but a learned and developed skill through which we can observe ourselves and the world around us.

With awareness, we can begin to identify that which makes us resilient, and that which makes us vulnerable. We can begin to choose what matters most to us, what deepens our quality of life.

Without this kind of awareness, we are merely pushing our way through life, denying ourselves meaningful experiences, and likely becoming reactive against all the signs and messages our body is trying to send us.

What is the difference between hopes, dreams... and expectations? Can you distinguish how you feel them? And how their outcomes unfold?

Hopes and dreams make us feel excited and motivated. While expectations often cause us to feel anxious and disappointed.

With awareness of this crucial difference, we can then free ourselves to choose which of them aid us more on our journey through life.

Connecting with your body. Feeling into those sensations, pleasant or unpleasant. Creating space to accept them as they are, free of judgment. Recognizing them as perfectly natural responses to our life experiences. And cultivating curiosity, even fascination with these moments of awareness — This is what it means to build conscious resilience.

Rejection or heartbreak, for a vivid example; you may find your chest or throat tightening. Your shoulders rounding inward. Your gaze sinking low toward your feet. Your stomach bitter or knotted. However you might describe this feeling — see how easy it is to judge as bad, disappointing, as something to fix or correct quickly.

Shift your perspective so that you view the moment from outside yourself, so you can see yourself as a "third person." Imagine how a curious reaction might look instead. How does it effect the processing of the emotion? Does it enhance your quality of life? Does it help cultivate a less reactive situation for everyone involved?

The cultural ethos of "life can be exactly as you want it!" is akin to "you can win the lottery!"

The probability of winning the lotto 6/49 jackpot is 1 in 14 million. While the odds of being struck by lightning are 1 in 3000. Needless to say... incredibly unlikely.

In terms of stress, overall wellbeing, and quality of life, this idea that life can be exactly as we want it, is ultimately a toxic and harmful message for us to live with. Not only does it pressure us to control outcomes, but it leads to a zero sum game where very few of us succeed and many perpetually take from the rest.

The probability is that you're not likely to win the lottery in your lifetime. Do you have the resilience resources and skills to be okay with this? To live a full life not limited by your pain, expectations or need for more?

At Novah Healthcare, we treat physical and mental health conditions by helping you to build resilience.

War, like chronic disease, doesn't happen overnight. It starts with an inherited legacy that predisposes us to preconditioned perspectives and behaviours. Acting on these biases leads to reactions that reinforce our intolerances so what begins as a slight discomfort becomes an unbearable tension.

Eventually, this becomes a blinding rage that only seeks to destroy without discerning target or collateral. War is like a disease that's full manifested and at this stage, there is no longer a rational entity or simple solution. Logical discourse will not sway the rage but vitriol WILL cause it to spread.

With all the conflict in the world, there is an opportunity to see this important parallel between disease + war. Both are best approached by stopping the spread, cultivating awareness and understanding of root causes, and building resilience to be calm in the chaos or unbearable tension. The best thing we can do as individuals, is to stop the spread.

Welcome to Novah Healthcare

Dr. Trung Ngo, DC, founded Novah Healthcare in 2017 to continue the work he was doing at Mount Sinai Hospital - treating pain within an integrated team approach. Our team has extensive experience helping and learning from people with complex, chronic, non-cancer pain. Through our experience, we have gained a great deal of insights into empowering people to re-take control over their pain and lives through 3 avenues: 1) Learning how to properly utilize the body (this includes how to move it, how to balance activity and rest, and how to nourish it); 2) Learning how to manage thoughts and emotions; 3) Learning how to manage relationships with oneself and others.

Pain can impose severe limitations on a person's daily functioning. At Novah Healthcare, we understand that pain is multifaceted. Factors that can cause and perpetuate pain, in addition to pathology, include an individual's thoughts, emotions, interpersonal relationships and physical movements.

By assisting a person to become aware of these various aspects of pain and by providing them with strategies to manage acute and chronic pain, Novah Healthcare empowers people to transcend their functional limitations. At Novah Healthcare, we wish to share our knowledge and experience with you in the hopes that this information will help you, your family and friends or your clients.
