Loving Ourselves

Posted at 12:31 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 19, 2015

Why is it that we struggle so much with loving ourselves?

What is it that holds us back from fully embracing who we are and celebrating that person in our daily lives?

For me, it was that I wasn’t aware of who I was in the first place! I grew up without the guidance from my family that I needed to get in touch with myself. It wasn’t their fault, they were unaware also. It took the trials of life, a near death experience and the trials in my life that followed for me to become fully aware of who I am in this physical body.

To say “We’re all connected” is somewhat abstract with lots of room for interpretation. For me, it means we are literally connected via the energy we are made up of and all that exists outside of us and extending throughout the universe. Energy is always in motion. We are always in motion, ever evolving over time and space.

To love ourselves is to love all there is. When I struggle with loving and caring well for myself, I remind myself how I love and care for what’s outside of me and that I am an integral part of it. It’s really a simple solution for a complex problem we all face.

Love to You!! xox

An Awe-Inspired Life

Posted at 7:23 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 8, 2015

I read an article this morning discussing a research-based finding that shows the feeling of “awe” is good for our health. A key marker of inflammation (which is implicated in many diseases) is reduced when we experience the feeling of awe.

So, what is it that makes you feel that wonderfully life-vivifying feeling of awe? A beautiful sunset? A smiling baby? A walk in the woods? Whatever it is, find it. Do it. Do more of it. Live an Awe-Inspired life!
