It’s time to park the usual health and lifestyle resolutions and access something much more powerful.  When I talk to my thyroid clients about what they want for their health, they will often mention what they don’t want. They say things like: I don’t want to feel tired I want to get rid of my brain fog I need to lose 10 pounds, or  I want to stop losing so much hair! It may be easier to talk about what’s wrong but focusing on what we don’t want doesn’t always help us.  Shifting Perspectives for Positive Change When it comes to solving our thyroid issues, we need to shift our perspective to the health we want instead of what we don’t want. Think about it this way, if you are planning a trip and you go to a travel agent and you tell them, ‘I don’t want to go to California’ they might struggle with figuring out what to book for you! However, if you walk in and tell them you want to go to Texas, well then they can start figuring out some of the logistics around how to get you there or when you want to go.  It’s the same with your health. You want to be really clear about what you DO want for your health, not just what you don’t want. That makes it a lot easier to make a plan for.  I call this your health dream and you want it to be as specific as possible. How you get there may be unique to you, but you need to know where you’re going if you’re going to create a plan. In this episode, I help you create your health dream for 2023 so you can put it on the map and start planning how you’re going to get there.  Key Questions for Creating your Health Dream There are several questions that will help you get clear on what your health dream looks like. Here are a few to consider:   What would it mean for you to really thrive? Thrive in health but also in your whole life?    The answer is one that only you can determine as this is a very individual thing. For some of my clients, thriving means waking up each day with great energy that they can sustain all day. For others, it’s feeling fueled by healthy food that they digest with ease. Or, it may be about parenting from a place of calm and staying present with the family. Whatever thriving means to you, be specific about it.    What would thriving look and feel like?    Close your eyes and really step into this state of being. Imagine it with all of your senses. In this episode, I walk you through a short and very powerful visualization so that you can bring what you want a lot closer to you. It's something I do for myself every year and incorporate into my client work with profound results.  The Time for Your Dream Health is Now It’s very easy to put your ideal health on the backburner. You may have very good excuses and promise yourself that you'll get to it later…maybe when that project is done, the kids are in school, you’ve made more money.  Yes, you could wait until then but I can almost guarantee that a new set of excuses and time-pressures will crop up.  If, on the other hand, you take the time now, you will be in a completely different place. And, you may even find that all of those things on your to-do list get a little easier too. That’s the thing about thriving, everything in your life feels the benefits.  If there is something that you want, the time is now.
