I love Ayurveda. It just makes sense to me, these teachings from thousands of years ago bring so much light and awareness to my life. One of Ayurveda’s teachings is to be still and do less. That you actually accomplish more in the non-doing than going and going. I am a goer and a doer. I tend to push myself to points of exhaustion as I try to meet my never ending to do list but I continue to improve by noticing how I am being, pausing, and connecting with this part of me that strives for accomplishment. I find that judgement is a huge part of this treat and continue to work on bringing compassion to this part of myself. Are you a compulsive doer? I have also noticed that "doers" tend to develop thyroid issues. This may or may not show up on a blood work panel. Doctors often wait until a sub-clinical thyroid issue becomes and actual issue but why not work on this preventively? The thyroid likes REST. You can even put "rest-work" on your to do list so it actually gets done! Notice if you have any resistance around resting. What is that part of you needing? Where do you feel that part in your body? Embodiment is a big part of changing habits.

Can you relate? Mindfulness and coaching around stillness is a part of my consultations. It isn’t just what we eat but the entire holistic picture. It’s about HOW we live. Offering complimentary 30 minute consults to anyone feeling dis-ease around food. Feel free to share your thoughts and insights on this powerful practice.
