Today, I've decided to change this blog's tagline to "Developing Resources for a Healthy, Wealthy and Happy Life".
Resources are so fundamental for one's well-being, that there is a saying: No Resources, No Get Better.
Yet, it is something not commonly understood by many people. What do you mean by resources?
Peter Levine defines it as: "Resources can be anything or anyone that supports and nurtures a sense of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being". There are basically two types of resources, internal resources and external resources.
Examples of external resources might be nature, friends, dance, music, books, in short anything that is externally derived.
Examples of internal resources might be intelligence, a spiritual practice, strength, discipline, in short, resources that comes from within us.
I find it absolutely necessary to help my clients to learn, and to find their own resources. It has been my personal observation that those clients who are rich with resources heal very fast and deeply too. Unfortunately, those without much resources heal slowly and some, not at all... And these are the same people that go round and round the therapeutic world looking for a miracle cure without knowing that the miracle cure begins with themselves.
Therefore, from this day onwards, this blog is all about helping us reclaim, discover and celebrate the many resources in our life; resources that promotes health, wealth and happiness!
