STUCK Ever feel like you are caught between a rock and a hard place? That you know what you need to do, but the only options that seem available are bad and worse? This pandemic has thrown many of our lives for a loop, having to balance new challenges and feeling there are no good choices. Some people have found this time has offered a slower pace, but still created obstacles to overcome. Making changes in life can feel overwhelming, feeling like we don’t have the time, the r...esources or the support to make those changes. We may let our mind get away from us and overcomplicate the task at hand, thinking of the million little steps it would take to get to where we want to be. Whatever the exact reasons, many of us get stuck in old patterns that feel safe, easy or just familiar, even if we know they are not serving us. I strive to help patients simplify their wellness so it does not feel like another rock pinning them down. Making one small change like not hitting that snooze button, or having one vegetable each day, can start a snowball effect. I love helping patients find the steps they can take any day to feel better. We don’t need perfect diets and constant high intensity activity to feel better. Narrowing down choices, noosing the most effective changes and offering support is part of what #naturopaths do best! #stuckinthemiddle #rockandahardplace #overwhelmed #covidchangeseverything #wellnessteam #imonyourside #simplewellness #simplifywellness #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicclinic #naturopath #naturopathy #ldnont #londonontario

THE DANCE The last stop on our mindfulness journey is mindful movement. I think we all know we need to move to stay healthy, but what the looks like, how much we need and what form is widely debated. Using mindfulness can help us move in a healthy way that supports us on all levels. We don’t have to run long distances or lift crazy weights to stay healthy. It also doesn’t have to consume hours of your day, because even 7 minutes of activity a day has been shown to have positi...ve health benefits that reach far beyond having strong muscles. One of the biggest obstacles people face when it comes to being active is not having enough time. Now many of us have been gifted some extra time. Hopefully this is a time to create healthy habits that will last longer than the current pandemic. #mindfulness #mindful #mindfulmovement #mindfulactivity #stayactive #beactive #movementismedicine #activelife #movementmedicine #movementheals #movelikeyouloveyourself #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicclinic #naturopath #naturopathy #ldnont #londonontario
