\"\"<\/a>There are times in our journey towards health where we find ourselves needing to shift our direction in one we may not have attempted before.\u00a0 This can be scary and leave us filled with fear.\u00a0 Fear by itself I have found to be an unhealthy approach to take when faced with a new experience because it can often sever the opportunities that lie ahead.<\/p>\n

Recently I embarked on a new approach to my health.\u00a0 I have invited in the opportunity to explore\u00a0new modalities of healing which\u00a0opened the door to the possibility of new people coming into my life and sharing in my pursuit of better health.\u00a0 Having moved back to New York to be closer to family while pursing my interests, I have reached out to a local support groups of people\u00a0with similar health conditions as well as other health related interests.\u00a0 I hope that by doing so I can broaden my learning of\u00a0how others\u00a0are finding their way\u00a0on their\u00a0journey and share of my own experiences.<\/p>\n

Reaching out to others with which you\u00a0gain by sharing in a community\u00a0can be an opportunity towards improving our health.\u00a0 There are other ways to\u00a0experience a new\u00a0direction, perhaps\u00a0try a new food group, spice or ingredient to your palate, explore an exercise practice\u00a0outside of your comfort\u00a0zone\u00a0or\u00a0 add a new form of meditation into your day.\u00a0 Literature or films\u00a0can also be a chance to\u00a0welcome the curiosity\u00a0within\u00a0and serve as an\u00a0opportunity for new experiences to happen for you.<\/p>\n

When we find that we have reached a point when we need to find new and different ways of approaching ourselves, let us be willing to\u00a0refocus through\u00a0a wider lens of possibilities\u00a0that can come when we embark\u00a0in a new direction.<\/p>\n

What new doors have you walked through lately and what have you discovered?<\/p>\n
