Holistic medicine isn’t just about treating a sore throat or a rash—it’s about seeing you as a living, breathing ecosystem. Imagine your body, mind, emotions, and environment as threads in a tapestry. If one thread frays, the whole picture suffers. Holistic practitioners aim to repair the tapestry, not just patch holes. They ask: Why is this happening? What in your life is out of sync?
Anxiety is something we’ve all experienced at some point in our lives. Maybe it was the fluttering in your stomach before a big presentation, or that tightness in your chest when you realized you’d forgotten an important deadline. While these feelings are uncomfortable, they’re also completely normal—and even useful. Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress, designed to keep you alert and ready to face challenges. But what happens when this helpful mechanism becomes overwhelming, persistent, or chronic?
Anxiety and stress are widespread problems in modern life that impact millions of people globally. Even while these reactions are normal survival strategies, prolonged stress exposure can have serious negative effects on the body and mind.
The goal of journaling is to be able to recognize and evaluate your thought, mood, and behaviour patterns as well as to figure out how to modify, adjust, and control them. Every detail of your life, including thoughts, feelings, ideas, events, and everyday recollections, can be recorded in a notebook.
