Emotions are a natural response to our thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences. It’s not far-fetched to say that what we feel is deeply connected to what’s happening in our bodies. When we get sick or experience pain, our bodies are communicating with us. By paying attention, we can gain valuable insights into our emotional challenges rather than simply masking symptoms or relying on quick fixes.

Here are some ways to nurture the mind-body connection:

• Journal regularly: Write about your feelings, physical symptoms, nutrition, and thoughts. Journaling can help you identify patterns or uncover relationships between seemingly unrelated aspects of your life.
• Listen to your symptoms: When you experience a symptom, ask yourself what message your body might be trying to convey. For example, if your throat hurts, could you be struggling with communication? Each part of the body holds its own message, and ignoring these signals may lead to more serious health issues.
• Work with a practitioner: Collaborate with someone who understands the interconnectedness of the body. This holistic approach to health considers mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects, all of which play a critical role in overall wellness and daily function.

Our team recognizes it’s not easy to stay motivated. We pride ourselves in regularly supporting our members with a daily dose of motivation and support to ensure that they reach their goals. Weekly motivation classes and outside support from us helps our members to stay engaged with their goals throughout their plans of care. We have found that most doctors’ offices have you wait for extremely long periods of time in a waiting room with sick people coughing down your throat and then provide a few, rushed minutes of jargon in another language that is hard to understand. Medical terms can often feel like another language with the big, scary, long names for various conditions. While there are exceptions to this and some doctors will sit with you to explain what’s going on, most members love that we coach them until they get results, every step of the way. Doctors through traditional insurance plans do not have time to do this. Not only explaining what’s happening but how to help you is important. Helping you stay engaged to stick with your lifestyle changes is also crucial to long-term success. Breaking bad habits and forming new ones often stems into deeply rooted behaviors that need addressing. Supporting you emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually is the key to help you thrive as a whole person. Book a free 15 minute consult with our team to learn more.
