Keep this ONE resolution,
so all of the others can fall into place.

Why are resolutions hard to keep?
Resolutions can seem futile and many people don't want to put that pressure on themselves. Yet, somewhere in the back of our minds, the changes we would like to make niggle away: exercise more, eat healthier, be more patient, less stressed, laugh more, drink less, spend better, quit smoking, be nicer and on and on... You would like to make those changes, but it's as if your wagon's wheels can't get out of the ruts they are stuck in.
Why? Trying to shift things when your energy is depleted, blocked or chaotic can make even small changes seem like climbing Mt. Everest.
I invite you to make just one resolution and watch how your life can change.
Change Your Energy, Change Your Life
Your energy (or 'Chi'/"Qi" in Chinese Medicine) is the steering wheel to guide the rest of your life. If it knows where it is going and how to easily get there, it can lead you to the places within yourself where you would like to go.
There are only a few ways to replenish your Chi and bring you to a place of calm repose. One or two years of eating right, sleeping as much as you want, not working and eliminating stress can do it, but who has that luxury?
Eastern energy based exercises such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung can do that when practiced daily, but you still need to have enough Chi and motivation to do your exercises. So, you may need a 'jump start' to even start a daily routine.
This brings us to the path of least resistance and ease - Resolve to receive acupuncture treatments!
Why? Acupuncture needles deeply harmonize the channels of energy that course through your body. Imagine these channels as rivers; they should be flowing peacefully. Not flooding, not in a drought and not damed up. Once your energy is flowing, all else can follow with more ease and joy.
Is it a magic bullet? Yes and no. YES! By committing to regular treatments until your energy balances and starts to rebound. No, if you expect a lifetime of wear and tear to be completely changed in one session.
Here is the beauty: Once your Chi is flowing smoothly, you'll have more energy, clarity and motivation to make lifestyle choices that serve your well-being, and will have a better chance to keeping your other resolutions!
An investment in your Chi is a long-term investment in your life! You can feel better.
Insurance Coverage and HSAs
It's a new year and if your plan did not previously cover all or part of the cost of your visits, it may now. I can contact your insurance carrier to determine your latest eligibility.
