About this episode

Taking time for ourselves, even if it's just for a few minutes during the day, is incredibly important for our overall well-being as Dr. Tiffany Smith and I discuss in this episode. By pausing and engaging in activities that bring us joy, we can calm our nervous system, decrease anxiety, and approach tasks and challenges in a more mindful way. This practice has a positive impact on various aspects of our lives, including preventing accidents, maintaining harmonious relationships, and improving our physical health.

We also discuss how engaging in activities that bring us joy not only benefits our mental and emotional well-being but also has physical advantages which is part of Dr. Tiffany’s practice. Mindful breathing and taking time for ourselves aids in detoxification and drainage in our bodies. It helps our lymph nodes to eliminate toxins and increases circulation, promoting the flow of oxygen, blood, and lymph. Additionally, this practice contributes to hormonal balance and overall well-being, allowing us to achieve homeostasis.

It's important to note that there are various ways to take a pause for ourselves, and it's about doing things that bring us joy. Whether it's listening to our favorite song, watching a comedy show, or simply stepping outside and feeling the warmth of the sun on our face, these activities help us relax and find balance.

Taking time for ourselves and engaging in activities that bring us joy is a powerful practice with numerous benefits for our physical and mental well-being. It is crucial to prioritize self-care and make time for ourselves in order to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can achieve harmony, both mentally and physically, and ensure that we are prioritizing our own well-being. It’s how we practice self-love in our dream life journey.

Witnessing Western medicine's effects.

Dr Tiffany: “So I started working with him with these modalities and he is the most active person. And so we're living our life. And so I saw that my patients in my traditional practice were really suffering with a lot of the same things. So we created our own practice and started to bring in this knowledge. All that knowledge I gained from him, I start to share it with others. But one of the biggest things is the impact of our lifestyle on our health. And so that's what I really carry forward in my message. And we named our company after our journey, Aroma Functional Nutrition Psychiatry.”

Choosing thoughts for dream lifestyle.

Dr Tiffany: “Absolutely. Yeah. I love it so much. You mentioned how you took the two-month break, and then you created this beautiful place during this time. And you know when what came to mind is how what we think about we bring about that thing. And when you take those moments, look at where your thoughts are. And what are you bringing into your life, and it's just as simple as choosing to think something different to get to that dream lifestyle that you want. So, you know, what you thought about and focused on, you brought about and elevated in your world. So I wanna just, I'm stating to your audience, what is it that you're thinking about? What do you want? Give it attention and watch it grow.”

Self-love and personal growth.

Dr Tiffany: “Everything in our life starts with the love that we have for ourselves. When we're seeking out an intimate relationship, when we're caring for our families, when we just want to live that dream life, we have to love ourselves to achieve it. And so it's every day, it's a daily task and education that you would get that'll help you dig deeper into you and really make sure you're loving yourself, just digging into your own well-being and helping you achieve the life that you want.
