W is for Wisdom

Wisdom in balance means …
  • Our foundational life goal is to find the wisdom hidden in all things AND do so with a sense of adventure
  • Books and classrooms are helpful, but only if balanced with hands-on experiences
  • Insights are a byproduct of wisdom-finding and generate feel-good chemicals that can become addictive if taken too seriously.
  • Wisdom can be lonely, so seek the company of others who value wisdom-seeking as a foundation life goal.

V is for Visceral

Visceral in balance means …
  • First and foremost we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the body never lies, so we train ourselves to listen
  • However, if we have caused our body to become addicted to sugars or sugar-like substances, then it is upon us to learn the difference between the body’s truth and it’s addictive cries
  • Equally, if we have allowed our egos to be in charge instead of curated to serve, then it is upon us to learn the difference between the body’s truth and the ego’s selfish, short-sighted demands.

    Goals

    Solutions to everyday stress involve identifying where we are emotionally unhappy and then taking action to correct or curb the circumstances involved. I love this kind of healing-based problem-solving and happily share for those seeking similar unique yet ubiquitous solutions. Consequently, the topics here may vary within health, lifestyle, and work/business.
