What is stopping you?

The new year will always bring thoughts of resolutions or goals.  The best intentions accompany these ambitions.  

There are many things that can derail the road to achieving the goals.  Some are absolutely understandable, others more mental roadblocks that we use to self-sabotage.  We may not realize this, and may even lie to ourselves about the challenges and blame others.

So, what is stopping you from achieving your goals?  Do you need a support team of friends and professionals to help you?  The best athletes require skilled coaching to break their personal records so the average individual may need additional support as well, and there is nothing wrong with this.

If your goals are focused on health concerns such as:

• Improving sleep quality
• Increasing energy
• Reducing pain
• Improving chronic disease burden such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or digestion

Naturopathic medicine can help with a variety of modalities.  But naturopathic medicine can only provide the tools.  Individuals will still be asked to change some habits which can be tough.   Some of these habits were developed in childhood and it can be a real struggle to even consider changing.  Other times, it is a preconceived notion that a healthy recommendation may be a roadblock and education is helpful.  

One of my greatest joys in my work is working with patients who are willing to take some risks and incorporate the recommendations that I advise and their health improves.  I fully admit that some of the advice is silly, but my education and experience have taught me that sometimes the silliest things can offer the greatest benefits.

What is stopping you from reaching your health goals?  And how can we help?
