Lifestyle Series PART 1: Healing and Pain Come from Lifestyle

Coriander Living Collective is a lifestyle company. Its mission is encouraging life satisfaction and embracing one’s lifestyle with insight, intention, and action. A lifestyle, or an individual style of living is how we move through life; expressed through our actions, thoughts, and emotions. 

Lifestyle encompasses everything in life! Our self-concept, self-ideals, beliefs about the world and others, how we eat, who we spend time with, and how we dress. It’s all part of our unique style of living. When our basic and psychological needs are not being met through adaptive means, unwanted symptoms often arise. Our pain and complaints come from our lifestyle; our healing will come from it as well. 

Not many people show up to therapy stating, “I sleep, eat, breath, and live well plus I’m socially connected, I love my job, and I feel significant and secure.” Instead, I hear things like “I’m lonely, I hate my job, I can’t sleep, I worry, I feel lost, or I’m in crisis.” All these things are about lifestyle. And with intention, insight, and action we can choose a different style of living.

Coriander Living Collective loves supporting people in changing their lives. Get in touch if you are ready for change! Stay tuned for upcoming Lifestyle Series blog posts that will look at sleeping, eating, belonging, and more on how to have a life well lived.
