Let's transform the perspective of #mentalhealth from "What's the matter with me," to "What matters to me!" The former drives stigma and the latter fuels empowerment. This simple shift helps provide a more positive pathway to recovery and can strengthen connections with clinical care teams. None of us is immune to life's challenges, struggles, and impact on #emotionalwellbeing.
#PersonalMedicine aims to prioritize what brings meaning and purpose to your life journey as well as the smaller things you DO to get well and be well.
By way of example, smaller things for me as an entrepreneur with two teenagers are frequent guitar improvisation sessions to boost self-esteem & mood as well as watching short stand-up comedy clips on YouTube to reduce frustration and irritability. Notice the conscious connection between the activity I enjoy and how it helps my mental well-being. #Music and #laughter are powerful.
What is often missed is establishing awareness of the deeper mental well-being connection to the activity. Also, it is surprisingly easy in the world today to not prioritize these activities that bring us joy. Set the intention for yourself to keep your Personal Medicine top of mind and a priority in the midst of the competing priorities that often zap your energy. Your mind will thank you for the emotional fuel.
This is not about diagnosis. You don't need a diagnosis to start practicing Personal Medicine. This is about positive things you can do that resonate within you inner wisdom to counterbalance those life challenges that drive distress. This is why helping others discover Personal Medicine is Azvion's north star, it is powerful.
What examples of Personal Medicine can you think of for yourself? What is something you always wanted to try, but for whatever reasons haven't yet? This could become a new Personal Medicine for you making the practice even more engaging and fun. How could you integrate all of this into your daily life and reap the rewards of prioritizing your Personal Medicine? The opportunities for increased self awareness and self growth are only bound by your imagination.
