Dhariya- Courage

What’s the fun in doing anything alone?
Strength in numbers. It takes a village to raise a child.

How often do we isolate ourselves from humanity thinking that we are stronger, more powerful and make a greater impact solo? The question is…does impact and movement happen without a backing…a band of people who support, elevate and believe in your cause?

I have had recent thoughts about this…as Elisa brought to my attention that so far in my career and education, my considerations and actions are those that only benefit me directly.

What a mind-blowing revelation… as all this time I thought the title M.D. encompassed “at the service of others” …that it was a given! Of course, I’m for the people…

What I didn’t understand that without the intention of empowering others and being up to something outside of myself…there was no sense of ‘taking a stand for another’, resulting in no movement.

I seriously contemplated this all afternoon…. Was this the missing link to feeling 1000% connected to my MISSION on Earth? That passionate drive that has you wake up in the morning gleaming with purpose and a confident ‘knowning-ness’.

I finally tapped into what made my heart sing…. was the empowerment of others that they can do and be anything… as vague as that may sound…I realized that M.D. comes with a platform to make that stand… starting in the highest level physical and mental health…and being an example of going after the very dreams and desires that terrify me.

Those dreams are being a medical doctor, taking a stand for healthy living for both the patient and doctor communities, creating a movement of accessible healthcare, on a global scale, being a very present, and loving mother and wife, and to take on the unbeaten path with confidence, courage and all the love, support and participation of all my communities combined.

In health and with Love,

As I continue to uncover the world I play in, I recently discovered my lack of true male friendships.

Last night I was sharing pizza with a male friend I’ve had for over 6 years, sure that seems like a lot of years, but truth be told we don’t really know one another. Sure we can hang out and make jokes, but I realized how much I hold back on the people, (especially the men) I call my friends. Perhaps this distance game was started when I was told, “boys hurt girls” by my lovable overprotective Mom. Or maybe this distance started when my favorite and only big brother left for college. I unconsciously vowed never to be that vulnerable again. I remember crying in the backseat as we dropped him off at the airport and how I hid my emotions so he wouldn’t know how much he meant to me. This sometimes little 12 year-old girl decided relationships always end and it’s not worth sticking it out, so I quit every time, or in most cases avoid getting close to men. I am especially present to this today as my youngest son graduates high school tonight. I can see how every male relationship I have is an example of holding back love in some way, even with my two sons at times.

This month has been extremely hard for me. The growing pains are out of control! And this invisible distance I create has created superficial relationships that stop me from truly getting to know the wonderful men I have around me. I’m not proud of this and I can now see my actions are done out of fear…… fear of being judged, fear of being seen, fear of looking foolish, and fear of not being liked by others. I see now that I am missing out on true authentic caring boy and girl friendships. You know the kind of relationships that are based on a commitment to honesty, love and success for one another.

I take this moment to thank all the wonderful examples of men I can look up to in my life today. I appreciate you all for being there and never giving up on me.

Now go do something amazing for someone else today…
Love others for who they are, wherever they are. And always create more closeness and less distance. The world is your playground if you let it be.
Stay Playful.

P.S.
I love my brother, Jon.

 

As I enter my 8th day of my challenge of will power, staring at candy apples without drooling and drinking water and doing cardio till I’m blue in the face…I stand tall because I chose this! I consciously chose this life-of setting the stakes high, and putting my derriere on the line…literally in this case.

This 6 week ‘shred down’ has got me thinking bigger than how great I’ll look in a bikini. It was awakened a consciousness of I am what I eat. Its wildly simple, but mind-blowing…and can be interpreted in any way. Conscious, clean eating is my current game, and is giving me a true sense of vitality and accomplishment.

Chef Jennifer Johnson with Witnessing Nature in Food plays the game of organic, eco-conscious eating. Promoting sustainability, and a mindfulness of the Earth, while licking your fingers and plate clean because her food is so damn tasty! This level of consciousness holds roots of respect and gratitude to our mother Earth, as we can’t forget that she is the ultimate provider.

Health and wellbeing has taken our world by storm, having us enrolled in gyms, meditation classes, yoga, and buying countless numbers of books and informational videos. We are simply just curious…wanting to uncover the happenings behind the scenes; what makes our very well- oiled machine, called the ‘human body,’ tick!

Proactivity is the name of the game, and having a trusted and knowledgeable healthcare practitioner by your side is part if the recipe for success. What stops one from seeking out such guidance? Perhaps is inaccessibility to your doctor or simply the quality time, attention and care you desire but often don’t receive.

Dr. Susan Wilder with Lifescape Premier has tapped into a new way of delivering quality care, through Concierge Medicine. Traditionally the term ‘concierge’ would be encountered in hotels, and the industry of Travel &Tourism. In the medical context, concierge entails patients having access to their doctor at any time for any concerns that may arise. This is made possible through having intimate practices, such as Lifescape Premier has created. Walking into their offices, you encounter soft colored walls, beautiful relaxation music and the kindest front desk staff. Dr. Wilder then promptly greets you with a smile and her enthusiastic energy. You get the sense that your care is in great, competent and trustworthy hands. If this is new age medicine, I’m all for it!
