What If My Health, Wellness, and Wellbeing is All in My Head?

The scale stayed the same — until I got out of my own head.

I have long believed that even with the incredible abilities of modern medicine and science — we are our best healers.

Please let me state — right off the bat — that I do not eschew doctors, pharmacology, therapists, and other modern medicine or science. I firmly believe in it — hence why I have had 2 boosters to my COVID vaccinations thus far.

But that also doesn’t mean that I don’t believe healing starts with our minds.

There’s a ton of evidence that supports this. Some is simple and involves the placebo effect. Others get more hooky-spooky and rely on tales of faith healing, energy healing, and other modalities that may strain credulity. Still, it’s clear that we have power in our minds to heal.

I’ve witnessed it firsthand. But I also know that it was one part of the greater whole that led to my good health, wellness, and wellbeing.

What it often comes down to is mindset.

Mindset can lead to better healing

Once again, please let me reiterate that I believe in doctors, medications, modern medicine, and science.
