Key Takeaways

1. What does your poop look like? How much sleep are you getting? What does your diet consist of? These are questions Tamara asks, regardless of the list of other symptoms her patients may be experiencing. Your whole body is connected and what may seem like a small, unrelated symptom to the problem, may be the key point to fixing the issue. Many doctors are notorious for putting our symptoms in a box, where one part of the body can't affect another part. This isn't true. Share with your doctor every detail along with the basics of how your body functions.

2. Feel what you want to feel. Perhaps it's freedom, or contentment or simply happiness. Practice feeling that everyday and recognizing what makes you happy when you're happy and how it came about. It's imperative for us to feel pleasure as it releases healthy hormones that keep us balanced.

3. Small habits and rituals are a first step towards feeling how we want to feel. Repeated mantras and affirmations with intentional breathing can bring our mind to believe and embody those messages; Tamara finds that saying her mantra seventeen times is the perfect number for her ritual, but will vary person to person.
