In 2025- Your Health is Non- Negotiable
This includes rest, what we put into our bodies as physical and emotional nourishment and truly taking care of ourselves. This is more than "self-care" but active care. Just like we make time for various other scheduled activities in our lives, it's just as important to take time out of our day, everyday to do something active towards our health. Coming out of a year filled with division in politics and people, wars, strange objects flying in the sky and things shifting technologically at a rapid pace, taking care of ourselves is non - negotiable. We live in an age where we not only have the overstimulation of life through technology but the ability to see all the wonderful and not so wonderful things at once just at our fingertips. The human heart isn't meant for this level of overwhelm, hence the immense rise in anxiety and depression amongst teens and adults.
Yes, it is a privilege. It takes money and time which we all do not have in excess or maybe we have one and not the other. Make time ( think about all the time we waste just scrolling alone. Acupuncture takes 1 hour ) and invest in yourself and your health. Don't buy that daily coffee or order in that door dash. Just that alone will give you the ability to invest in yourself and your care. Your future self depends on it.
Acupuncture of course is the total package since not only are we regenerating cells, lowering inflammation and working on our health, we are also activating Theta waves and getting a rest that is so deep, we are able to reconnect with our truest selves, stillness and that space between our thoughts and consciousness. Away from the world for just an hour.
Some other ways we can take care of ourselves and take the idea of self care into life changing, everyday care.
