I have been helping people with their health issues for over 9 years. In this time frame I have witnessed many opposites of what is constantly being touted as “good health habits”.

I have come to understand that I have 100% control over the degree of suffering I experience. Suffering can be a constant slight annoyance or escalate to an all out rage about something or someone. But one can argue “how can you control your suffering if you can’t control those around you and the unexpected events that sometimes life throws your way?” Exactly, we can’t control life. We can’t control reality. However, consider the possibility in controlling your stressful thoughts and/or beliefs about a situation or person. Additionally, what if we commit ourselves to learning to become a “lover” of reality. Which means we
