A Health Coaches Journey
Chronic illness and pain, drugs and medication, stress and frustration, anxiety and disappointment... Life can be a lot of fun. Or so it seems, when we wonder where our youth has gone, our energy, ability to focus, to dream, play and have fun.
Dream, play and have fun. We all had it in ourselves, and it is now buried very deeply under a decades-thick layer. How did we get as involved as kids? How could we be so creative and passionate in our own worlds, when we were climbing a tree or playing soccer?
