As business owners we are familiar with the word proactive, we strive to be less reactive and more proactive in our businesses. Taking ownership and maintaining control of what happens day to day in our work.

If we understand the importance of doing this in our work, it should be simple to understand how this approach could benefit us in our health and wellbeing.

By leading a proactive lifestyle we can not only reduce illness and general fatigue or aches and pains. We can actually thrive.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine we often talk about balance, seeking to correct and promote balance in the body as a whole.

We view each person’s body, mind and spirit as a unique “ecosystem” made up of many components, by balancing all elements you can begin to address not only symptoms but the underlying causes of illness, fatigue or aches and pains.

If we take the body as a whole and look for other elements that are causing conditions and treat all elements, not only does the illness get addressed but also the body is less likely to develop other health problems in the future.

If you experience this Traditional Chinese Medicine approach you will see that it is not just reactive medicine, it is preventative. More than that, it is proactive.

Take some time to understand the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, either independently or from a practitioner, and learn to balance your ecosystem, by doing so you will see benefits beyond getting by day to day.

Live a proactive lifestyle and thrive.
