…& the personal recognition that the soil is our own body, the air, our mental activity & speech, the water, our will to flow and rest. Healing = Wholeness

There are some hard truths about corruption in the very foundations of our medical system coming to light. It’s more the systems of medical care, incentivized by profit from the top down, that are corrupt, than the caring people, by and large who work in healthcare.

“Something ancient in us bends us toward the origins of the whole thing. We either drown in the splits and confusions of our lives, or we surrender to something greater than ourselves. The water of our deepest troubles is also the water of our own solution. In surrender, we descend down to the bottom of it and back to the beginning of it; down into what is divided in order to get back to the wholeness before the split. Healing, health, wealth, wholeness: all hail from the same roots. To heal is to make whole again; wholeness is what all healing seeks and what alone can truly unify our spirit."
- Michael Meade, "The Genius Myth"

💯 You’ll never get to where you want to be focusing on where you’re at. You have to do new things, and be patient with yourself, and persistent. Acupuncture can help! Movement practices like tai chi and qigong are also excellent supports for changing lifestyle habits. There’s actually an evidence based, well researched program from the National Acupuncture Detox Association that helps you change habits. Reach out to me if you’re interested, I’m here for you!

There's a saying we use in psychotherapy: It takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make a lifestyle. It's not meant literally in terms of numbers, but the saying provides the relative time frame required to restructure a behaviour.

Two HABIT HACKS to get you started:

1. Get familiar with the CUES that elicit the old behaviour (People, environment, time of day...).

2. REWARD the new behaviour when you engage in it.
