When we think about addictions, the last thing we would imagine is an addiction, is apathy.

That listless feeling.
Day in.
Day out.
Putting it down to circumstance and not something one can change or is responsible for.

Trying to live up to expectations, affected by criticism and the insecurity of what next. Comparisons.

All seems out of ones control.

Thus to talk about priorities and choices.

Life is dynamic and is affected by the ever evolving fast paced world we live in.

Society is fickle. What was popular yesterday no longer features in a few days.

The desensitisation .
To be kind, to be caring is seen as a weakness.
To stand up for ones right makes you a pariah, a troublemaker.

And thus to pull back into a zone , a bubble of "nothingness".

So how does one address this very debilitating addiction of apathy?

It starts with YOU.

It starts with decluttering.

It starts with being honest with self even if heavy to face.

It starts with no fingers pointing out as well as no judgement of self.

It is not about drastic changes or upheaval. It is about finding that self and in doing that, mapping a road fwd, inclusive of ones loved ones, fruitful and rewarding.

Longevity.

I look fwd to YOU and looking to unburden much that was never yours to bear.

It is awesome. The ask for wellness. The ask for reprieve from niggles, aches and pains....a mindset more positive
For me, that trust eventually earned is the ultimate.

We may be on a sexy site and one may question why would I put sooooo much effort marketing my wellness offerings.

A person in pain, is a person in pain. A person distracted due to debilitating movement cannot relax and enjoy most things.

A mindset eager yet, challenged.
Busy.
Fatigued.

When touch feels numb, breathing shallow and the lungs actually hungering for oxygen...that oxygen feed to the rest of the body non existent, leading to ripple effects....even that challenged performance in the bedroom.

Cramping.
Spasms.
Restless nights.

...and the most debilitating of all..."what if".

I look fwd to many many more wellness queries and appointments.

And.

Remember.

A once off wellness session is a waste of money and time.

You looking for that reprieve?

Then make sure to embrace it and let's work on it together!

When it comes to wellness....be it of body , mind or soul....dont look for solutions to address issues impacting on a balanced lifestyle if you not ready to admit and embrace that which you like the least in yourself.

Half measures do not work in general and, the same applies when looking to address ones wellness.

Mindset and mindfulness...the key to any beginning.

Mindset = dedication, engagement, persistence and resilience. The embrace.

Nothing is a quick fix...instant gratification is the dupe to living a lifestyle numbed and dumbed.

Mindfulness - without judgement but, focused and intentional. Pussy footing and excusing that which one knows is the problem in ones life requires a psychological shift.

Baby steps.
Living in the present.

Mindful meditation. What is that?
Well. The way I see it, it is sitting with yourself without filters and with no fear of judgement .
It is like looking in....the very essence that actually plays a major role in who YOU are and many times hide that part of self from others....BUT IS visible by the choices one makes.

That action - reaction thing.
From smoking to eating to drinking to binging ....to drugging.

Self inflicted...even if one may claim it is out of ones control.

It is not an easy process. It can be bewildering because that which you may have thought was your downfall, may in fact, have nothing to do with asking for change, longevity and a balance in ones life.

I look fwd to hearing from you.

Having that laugh, even a tear or two...BUT getting to know yourself is the target and aim and embracing every part of that element no matter what society on the whole may think.

Looking fwd to further chats with YOU.

Privacy, discretion and confidentiality is practiced.

I am definitely not against chronic medication.

What i am against is the resort to medication without the belief that there may be other ways to address perceived debilitating movement , niggling aches and pains and "illnesses".

Lifestyle definitely impacts on ones wellbeing . A society bent on "popping pills" has led to chemical addictions to address the angst, fatigue and aches and pains.

Is it an easy fix?
A quick fix?
Possibly...for a short period of time and then sets in the chemical imbalance and the need to re-address medication due to ripple effects from the initial intake of chemicals.

Pls note: self diagnosis and "doctoring" is never advised nor is taking medication from a "friend" simply because you may relate to the symptoms.

Chemical imbalance affects all aspects of ones life, even that which many look to address and hope to enjoy well into their later years...sexual intimacy.

So.

How does one address that which bothers one day in and day out?
From the physical.
To the mental.

To say easily, would be a lie.

BUT...it is DEFINITELY not as hard as one might imagine nor impossible.

I look fwd to chatting, being your go to dealing with matters impeding on aspects of your life .

Just like domapine...to address , get you to recognise those warning signs and... regulate !

Dont procrastinate.

DONT DOUBT!
