My favourite place to meditate and reset the mind – in the middle of nature…
I knew our minds played a role in our health and overcoming illness but I admit I didn’t pay much attention to it until my friend shared this video. This women beat stage 4 ovarian cancer using a combination of conventional and alternative therapies and she placed a large focus on improving her emotional state. Amazing! You can read more about her story here.
According to this website:
“Although it is still often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing – no matter how devoted you are to the proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body’s ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way.”
Lately, I can’t say I’ve been taking good care of my emotional self. I’ve been burying myself in work and side projects, to the point where I’ve been feeling numb and completely void of healthy emotions. The video is a good reminder that this aspect of our health should not be ignored.
I’m still working on nailing down my morning routine, which was a New Year’s resolution of mine. I’ve been implementing a few rituals but now I’m definitely going to add some mind work! A good first step for me will be to re-implement a 10 minute yoga and meditation practice before starting the day.
Also, the Emotional Freedom Technique keeps popping up whenever I’m online or meeting new people and I’m starting to wonder if it’s a hint! Anyone tried it?
