Story Over Strategy
My story was wrong.
For over a decade I lived as a sick person. I lived everday desperately trying to heal, terrified of what would happen if I didn't. I was doing all the right things. I ate the perect diet and took the perfect supplements. I spent time in nature and exercised regularly. I meditated and grounded. I went for massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture weekly. I was constantly reading and researching about how to heal, and hyper-focused on anything that could make (or break) my healing. I was doing all of the right things but I wasn't healing.
Why? My story was wrong. I lived everyday trying to heal, and fear was the undercurrent driving my behavior. My story was sending chronic danger signals to my nervous system; There was a threat and it needed to respond. This fear based behavior locked me into a perpetual state of threat physiology - AKA fight or flight. Fight or flight is a very expensive biochemical state, intended as a short term response. When it becomes chronic, it drains your body of the minerals needed to drive your cells, tissues, organs, and systems to function. Trying to heal in a state of threat physiology is like trying to fill a bathtub without plugging the drain. No matter how much water you add, the tub will never be full.
For over a decade my story hijacked my nervous system and depleted my minerals; No strategy (pills, exercise, diet, etc) could change that. Don’t get me wrong, the right strategy is absolutely important, but the first and most powerful thing you can do is choose a story that is congruent with the outcome you desire. This plugs the drain so the bathtub can fill up.

When I learned to reframe the way I approached my health in a way that aligned with the outcome I desired, and how to connect with my body to release the beliefs, both conscious and subconscious, that were hijacking my nervous system, I was able to apply a bio-individual healing strategy and my bathtub began to fill up - very quickly!
