A few months ago, I walked out of a doctor’s office crying and as I pushed the elevator button and had a few minutes to pull myself together before the door opened - I checked in and asked myself what was going on. I was not technically sick and yet the whole ordeal I had just been through had me convinced, “this is neither health, nor care.”
And then I wondered, what is health care? What are the feeling tones, visuals, sounds, smells, that I associate with my dream vision of health care?
One of my teachers has helped me see the benefits of a “negative” experience as a “contrast” to guide me to more satisfying experiences. Instead of getting stuck on “I don’t like that thing,” I turn to find and create a better choice for me.
Now I am working with a practitioner whom I respect and from whom I feel respected and supported in my personal health plan. Part of my satisfaction with my current experience is the contrast with the doctor before.
To set yourself up for success - before you meet with your practitioner, I encourage you to imagine yourself living and enjoying your health. Have fun with your dream, get specific and use all of your senses. Then, coming from your deep place of knowing what is your health care, empower your practitioners to help you live your dream.
To your health.
