Health Wishlist
What is health? For you, it might be something different from what is health for anyone else in the world. Is it being fit and free of disease? Is health feeling lanced, or having energy, or getting down to a weight that doesn't burden u? Or is it getting your chronic conditions manageable again?
Whenever a new client comes into my office, one of the first things we do sit down together and make a Health Wish List. This is a list of everything the client would like to happen. The first things my clients usually mention are that they want to change the number on the scale, and/or they want to change the progression of a chronic disease they have been diagnosed with.
I think those goals are too narrow. Why limit yourself to a diagnosis or a number on the scale, or that one, most pressing symptom? I want you to dream big. Think of everything you want for your body. And this can be an ongoing list. You can check things off as you achieve them, and you can always do more. In fact, I encourage you to add more, as you learn more and get to know this process better. I always encourage my clients to go further. Below is a sampling of some of the items my clients have come up with for their own Health Wish Lists. Check the ones that you want on your list, then try to add more items at the end of this list that mean something to you.
