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 look forward to continuing posting on this thread addressing all sorts of possible matters dealing with mind and body wellness.

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!

There is a different sort of feel among champions / achievers.
It is the approach, attitude...a very tangible confidence .
The confidence easily confused for arrogance .
Not apologetic yet, humble when the moment calls for ...an awareness of others.
That knowing of self....knowing ones winning characteristics as well as ones weaknesses, making one different from most.



Hard workers.
Consistent.
Dedicated.
Resilient.
Excellent students.
Leaders and followers...knowing when to follow and when to lead.

Their daily values and love of life transcending into whatever they do.

Every single sporting discipline has those real champions.
Ordinary people with extraordinary skills. Taking that skill and honing it into championship qualities .

They WORK for that position of CHAMPION . They KNOW competition is tough and respect their piers and competitors.

These people are far and few between and leave their mark , in various ways, on others.

I have had the privilege of being among many a champion and that distinct quality these people ooze, without trying or pretending, is magical.

They are just different.

My cup of tea.

How can one not be in awe of such a person.


-.-

Gooood morning beautiful creatures!

Again, a conversation had yesterday and, the observation that there is an overall feeling of defeatism.

Is it because a dry dusty cold winter doesn't help much?
Maybe the economy hitting home real hard?
Relationships feeling stagnant?
Listlessness....what next?

A pocket in time that has a ripple effect on most things.

To try, feels like too much effort....no true incentive or, goal set.

The reward not outweighing the input.

Clarity missing.

And thus to putter along until an opportunity may slap us in the face ?....or to continue on the samw path, a "second wind" experienced.

This is where self meditation takes place.
Even if frustrating and, at first no answers reached, no solutions pinpointed.

One important factor is ....talk is cheap, actions speak loud. Procrastination IS frustration.

The scariest is to begin something new. But, once that first step taken, then to learn to persevere, be consistent and keep that goal in mind.
On the way there will be slight adjustments.
Dont be scared to take them on board, especially if it means streamlining and being relevant...a leader instead of a follower.
.
Innovation need not mean a huge novel unknown introduced that will draw the crowds.
Innovation can be something as small as being reliable, consistent and dependable .

Maybe today is that time a new path might be considered.
Pondered on.
Researched and made a priority for the near future.

Why not?

If it has been pulling at the corners of your mind dont waste time, why not give it the attention and effort it may deserve and put you on the road least expected yet, rewarding and meaningful.

We all know what is good or bad for us and try to avoid that energy seep, that one step forward and two steps back scenario.
But what happens when these heavy moments are unavoidable. A path of life one can no longer avoid.
That threat to earnings.
Expenses becoming unmanageable.
Relationships strained.
Feeling detached....near hopeless.

The same worries and concerns milling and milling in ones head.
Sleep deprivation.

It is funny that humans, when faced with adversity, tend to look inward, become uncommunicative.
Feel that sharing with their closest would lead to confrontation, blame, misunderstandings.
So much easier to carry the burden solo than going through extra irritations and having to explain oneself.

An age old problem...nothing new.

So.

What does one do?
Does one continue in the same vein until things get better?
Does one turn to strangers for solace?
Does one seek professional help?

One thing is for sure...DO NOT turn to social media platforms full of "guru" advice, reading YOUR situation into what they may be speaking about. It is like that gypsy palm reader.

When turning to friends DON'T seek those that will be "amen" buddies and paint you like a saint . Nor the ones that know not to listen and hear.
Sometimes it just takes a hug to make things feel lighter .

...and when it comes to strangers....we tend to share our pain, our challenge through our own eyes, omitting so much of importance .

...as to professional help. It does help to speak it out in a safe zone. The issue hear is to have the courage to do so without fear of judgement, those lightbulbs going off, the epiphany, leading to a lightening of spirit and soul.

Communication. How humans lack the ability to communicate.
And even worse, the ability to listen and hear.
And worst of all... the labeling of each other due to societal standards.

So how does one help oneself? So many don'ts , so many pitfalls. Is there hope?

Of course there is. It starts with self.
We are moulded and "manipulated " our whole life.
Aspirations, dreams, wants and needs take on the form of what one is exposed to.
The self , the true self much simpler, begins to fade.
Values and standards dictated to by a fast paced, ever changing world.
Nobody stops to think about the impact on ones own life.
Like sheep to slaughter.

Individualism need not mean living like an island.
I see it as knowing oneself, the peace found in taking accountability for self, growth, no fear of self expression , humble.

To question or play the devils advocate, is NOT being confrontational . It is the ability to see variances that lead to solutions and alternatives. It is thr mi d of a critical thinker, a solution finder.
In being able to take accountability for self, all of a sudden ones outlook changes as do relationships with others.


The solution isn't in having a steadfast answer to the uncontrollable challenges, as much as it is in understanding the place and time one may find oneself in and keeping it real , ones closest and dearest near and realise onenis not alone.

We look for a quick fix for years and years of "self suppression"...pointing fingers outward, alienating many.

It is never too late to look inward and valiantly work on self without judgement or blame.

No.person was ever born perfect and that includes you and me and everybody else.


Love thyself comes with lots of responsibility and realness and an abundance of positivity and the ability to grow.
