EP- 154- True Wellness VS Consumerism: Which are you practicing?
Wellness Secrets vs Consumerism- Too often we intertwine and confuse the two -- one should be free and available to us at all times and the other should be completely separate as a shopping experience- for companies focused on profit should remain a consumer facing for profit business. There's nothing wrong with a for profit company - I would say it is important to know the difference and know wellness is a free and available practice to all. Here are some of my fave free ways to well & sites I love - written by each individual posted below.

NEW WELLNESS RULES of 2024  Quiet Individuals are Well: There's no need to brag, boast or wealth flaunt in wellness Wellness is Confidence: Wellness is about being a professional and having self -respect for your beautiful body: Save the constant need to show your boobs and butt to everyone to confidential texts or snapchat! Trust me, you'll thank me later  Wellness is a Personal Journey & It will only Happen When you go Inward: Wellness is not flaunting, showing off or purchasing products  Wellness is FREE & Available to everyone at anytime Read books like: "Being Peace" by Thich Nhat Hahn or Dr Wayne Dyer's Anyone Asking you for Money is not wellness. Anyone asking you to buy their mastermind or courses is not wellness True Wellness is Humility Wellness is not showing people you live in a Mansion & have W Wellness is about Grace When the doors close; how loving, how kind and how graceful are you FR?  Wellness is Cooking at Home  Wellness is being Peace Wellness is not quantitative Wellness is Meditating at Home for Free, whenever you would like; its available for you at anytime   Wellness is Experience: Learn from those with decades of personal experience; tik tok is garbage.  Wellness is being a GREAT GATEKEEPER Don't be fooled by marketing, ads, influencers on social media Social media has proven to make us sick, ill, mentally ill, depressed, anxious and far worse ...Be a great gatekeeper this year - only follow FR FR people that are tried and true.  Wellness is Being Kind to others Be kind.  Wellness is Sharing Real images, and pics//videos periodically Wellness is not editing, face tune, photoshop, distorting your images and videos, so you come off as someone you are not IRL. Don't over expose your life. Be private and be a good gatekeeper of your own life.  Wellness is Being off Your Devices It's who you are in real life, who you are as a person for real, not a persona, and certainly not numbers Wellness is Being Free Doing you, and not giving af about what everyone else is doing  True Wellness is Patience: It is in letting go of expectations as hard as this one is - its very important to practice - let go  bc attachment is what leads to suffering Passion Will Find You when you are Ready, Well and Confident  you don't need anyone's validation or approval to make you whole. You are whole on your own.
