I believe “ your body is the best doctor”. It’s easy to take things for granted until we’ve lost them. Doing rehabilitation is difficult both physically and psychologically. Mood yo-yo like the waves. I never thought I’d be so excited to pass the “TOV” (trial of void) after a few days in the hospital. I never expected to be so looking forward to walking on the ground again. I have a deeper appreciation of what patients are going through.
Life throws us curve balls (in my case, 2 major surgeries in 6 weeks unexpectedly). What to do? Adapt and change so I’ve learnt to help my patients in different ways. This has made me reassess the current situation and think about what I really love to be, do and have in life instead of living in the comfort zone. I’ve now evolved as a patient and a medical professional using non-medical modalities.
I’m so grateful that patients have shared their struggles and we have great success with our life-work stress management, EFT to reduce food craving and sugar addiction, using mindful practices to improve wellbeing and designing a life with meaning and purposes with values. Let’s design one for your unique life.
