Deep Health- What is it?

Deep Health is where you thrive in all aspects of life.

Your physical health- how your body is feeling, performing and functioning.

Your mental and cognitive health- how well you can think, learn and remember things. Your outlook and perspective on life. Your insight and conscious awareness and creativity and flexibility in your problem solving.

Your emotional health- your general mood, ability to recognize, express, respond well balanced with resilience.

Your existential/ purposeful health- Having a 'why' you do the things you do, a strong self- worthiness view and feeling that you're part of a 'bigger picture'.

Your relational and social health- connecting, developing authentic relationships, feeling respected and heard and feeling as if you 'belong'.

Your environmental health- being and feeling safe and secure, supported, have access to resources such as good food and health care.

Deep health allows you to grow and excel. Separating the above into six areas gives you an opportunity to evaluate each separately and work towards improving some point.

You may already feel a bit burnt out from socializing, lowered concentration levels can be a serious precursor of injury. Take time out or be prepared to alter your routine, there’s no shame in ...

  The Socratic Method What is it? Socrates was a Greek philosopher who lived 400 – 399 BC. Known as the ‘Father of Western Philosophy’. He developed a method of questioning designed to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions of the individual. It is useful in teaching, therapy and as your own individual growth and self- awareness. In practice it looks like asking some very basic inquisitive questions that can further clarify assumptions, perspectives, evidence and consequences.

In teaching this allows students to probe and develop problem solving skills. In therapy this helps define problems, identify tho...

The Subtle difference between 'Find' and 'Earn'  When we want to 'find' our ________ (motivation, respect, money- you fill in the blank). We may be indicating that we have no idea where it is, it's lost, maybe it doesn't even exist! It tags desperation, depression, helplessness.😒 When we want to 'earn' our ________ ( fill in the blank with all the goodies 😇).  We're suggesting solutions and possibilities, that it does exist, we can get to it and it is ours. Try tweaking your words. Instead of saying, "I just need to find the  _______". Say, "And now I will earn my ________". See what difference that small self- talk does for you.
