Whether
you have back pain, sciatica, neck or shoulder pain, headaches, PMS,
tendonitis or something other... you have by now sought out alternative
practices to relieve your suffering. Yes, the prescription meds helped
a bit, for a while. But when they wore off, you had to take more... and
more. And now you are seeing an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, a
massage therapist or some other holistic therapist and are finding that
the requirements to do what is asked of you (outside of appointments),
is just not quite fitting into your busy daily schedule.
Taking personal responsibility for your own health is difficult. It requires dedication and patience. Life is tough.
It seems we all, in our quest for health, well-being or simple pain
relief, encounter the same set of barriers. These are things that seem
either to be in our way or to fall along our path as we traverse it
toward feeling good. And while each person's barriers are of different
sizes, the following three are by far the most common.
Barrier 1: Time
Perhaps
the most obvious barrier to achieving optimal health is time. There is
only so much of it in a day, a week, a month and a year. We can't add
time, and when we finally do find a free moment it gets eaten up by
unsuspecting sources, like: work, house work, family obligations,
events, projects, you name it. Something always seems to get in the way
of doing our exercises, driving out of the way to purchase organic
whole foods, eating balanced meals, getting a healthy amount of sleep,
taking those supplements as directed, drinking enough water.
