Summary
Do you feel like you're too sick to get better? Or that circumstances are overwhelming you? The stories we tell ourselves impact our health in often unseen ways. Today, Dr. Navin Hettiarachchi, a unique healer with a PhD in Natural Medicine, reminds us that mindset and mindfulness can transform our health, even when all else has failed.
He goes over the 4 pillars that he considers the bedrock of wellbeing--sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. And he focuses especially on the benefits of a grateful, "every day is Christmas kind" of attitude. He shares stories of how his childhood in Sri Lanka has shaped his own journey. And tells of people he has encountered who have overcome incredible obstacles and achieved optimal physical health and success thanks to a healing, flow-state
kind of mindset.
