Need to get out of the rut

The meaning and the value people put on health is different for each person. As a practitioner I see many people who would consider themselves healthy, they have not been branded with a particular disease – for instance diabetes. However, they do take some form of medication, have aches and pains, are over-weight, don’t sleep well, and their annual tests are okay-ish.This is not what I would consider health and well-being. I put a very high price on true health and vitality.

What is well-being as opposed to dis-ease?  It is a balance, a harmonious lifestyle that enhances and energizes, as opposed to dragging you down, leaving you more tired and more vulnerable to dis-ease, dis-stress and weight problems.

Changes – anything worth having usually needs some dedication and staying power. It does take some effort and commitment but the results are usually well worth it. In the majority of cases changes are often easier than you first imagined.

The hardest thing of all for most people is changing their thought patterns,  as they seem deeply etched. There is no one simple answer here, some people find mantras or meditation a good technique other people choose to read inspirational books, some would rather listen to audio CDs or watch DVDs, some get a mentor, while others find their daily journal invaluable.

Do not let anyone tell you their way is the best. The only way, is the way that works for you, we are all different. Bear in mind you have not only developed ‘eating patterns’ but also developed ‘thought patterns’.
