BRAIN/BODY CONNECTIONS

What’s happening in your body?

After a few nights of terrible sleep, you feel foggy and your memory begins to fail.

Everything seems harder to manage and your anxiety begins to spike.

Bad sleep leads to bad moods.

These feedback loops start to dominate your entire existence.

Thoughts about yourself and your life careen into the negative – tearing yourself down for no good reason.

We all go through times where we feel some negative emotions.

But, if yours are constant and overwhelming, then not only are you feeling anxious and depressed, you aren’t making healthy choices for yourself.

Thus, the cycle goes on and on, and you feel worse and worse.

Come with me into a 21st Century approach to mental health and wellness.

Mental health is not just about what’s happening in the brain.

It’s time to listen to your body.

You know yourself better than anyone, but sometimes you can get tuned out or distracted by stressors all around you.

Talking to The Self

All day every day you are getting messages from your body and your mind.

They work in tandem to inform you about how things are going on the inside.

Learning how to tune back in and understand how your choices related to health influence your mood can be a game changer.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Are you ready to get to a place of healthy mind and body?

Then let’s get moving!

We will give attention to your thoughts and feelings, and to how you feel inside your body.

We will explore habits and patterns, and try new things.

I will educate you about crazy, cool stuff like your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, how your fight/flight system works.

We’ll see how, while it means to be helpful, it can also cause you problems in the modern world.

I’m an outside-the-box thinker. So, we’ll explore a broad territory when it comes to understanding and making choices to improve your mental and physical health.
