Half of my work day is spent honing in on details. For each person I evaluate and treat, I’m considering multiple symptoms, lab data, contributing factors, and treatment interventions. Left unchecked, this amount of detail hurts my brain - figuratively and literally. This type of work might be considered “left brain“ and appealing to someone who is “undermethylated,” which I am.
The other half of my work day is involved with addressing how, from a spiritual perspective, we:
- lower our stress by learning to let go and stop grasping for outcomes
- learn to feel at home in our body
- learn to connect with others
- find peace in this world
- find purpose and meaning in this life
- live in the present
- feel part of something larger than ourselves
