Mental Health: Small Changes, Big Shifts Mediatrix Wellness Podcast

If I were to distil what makes a holistic approach to healthcare successful or not, it would come down to habits. The most perfect treatment plan means nothing if there is no system or structure in which to implement and ground it into the routines of our daily life. A big part of my practice as a naturopath has been to work out the best ways to help folks (and myself) develop habits that support health and to reduce habits that harm our health. Tiny positive shifts and 1% changes really do add in the long term and can catalyse much more significant transformations.
I recently read the popular “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, and I was SUPER impressed. James masterfully gathers and distils the science and practice of habit cultivation and behavioural change. He neatly summarises what took me years to figure out plus some.
To continue with the theme of mental health this season, I’d love to share some of the key ideas of the book. And share with you some ways you can gently tend to your mental health on the daily and perhaps inspire you to read the book in its entirety. If you’re a healthcare practitioner working in preventative medicine or someone wishing to align your life to healthier habits, it’s well worth the read for you too!
