For the last 16 years, I have been living on a
barrier island in a little house a few blocks from
the ocean in Miami Beach just 10 minutes from my
office. The place is a gem. I have 2 large mango
trees at the backyard, a few dozen of banana
trees, and 20 papaya trees that produce delicious
sweet fruit all summer. Next to the house, I
planted a Feng Shui garden filled with herbs and
vegetables that produce tomatoes, lettuce, kale,
broccoli, spinach and more greens than a big
family could eat and it’s all-organic. Eating off
the land is one of the best ways to nourish your
body, mind and spirit. For me, working in the
garden is a great way to de-stress from work and a
joy to see my efforts grow. A garden grows at its
own pace. You can’t rush it or slow it down, but
it needs just a few things to grow- the right
soil, water and sunlight. If the pH of the soil is
too acidic, you’ll get a poor crop. If the garden
isn’t watered, your garden will dry up. And if
there is no sunlight, nothing happens at all. A
garden is very similar to our bodies. We need to
keep our internal system alkaline rather than
acidic to stay healthy and, without a doubt, we
need to stay hydrated. As for the sunlight, it’s
one of the biggest factors in keeping us happy,
vibrant and free from depression and anxiety.
For many years, I have lived a charmed life in a
charmed place near the sea. But now, I am going to
make some changes. I am in the process of packing
up all my belongings and saying goodbye to my
beach house and looking for a new place. It wasn’t
my idea, but change happens that make us change
and grow whether we like it or not. Within the
next few months, they are going to knock down the
house and build 17 condos on the property.
Most people don’t mind change as long as it
doesn’t change their life. Change is an
opportunity for us to grow. One of the reasons
that run this planet is to grow, just like the
vegetable garden. We want to grow strong,
productive, and make our world a better place.
Many of us get caught up in a situation that keeps
us slaves to our jobs, relationships, or
community. I hear people say this all the time,
“This is just how my life is.” On this planet, you
have the so-called ‘free will’ but most people
live in a place of fear. They’re afraid to make
change, they’re afraid to open up to change. And
they never experience their true potential. Change
is something that we want to welcome into our
lives. It forces us to grow. When students come in
to my class, or patients in to my office, they’re
looking for something new, something to make them
better, mentally, physically, emotionally,
spiritually and psychologically. If they continue
to do their same pattern over and over, and are
expecting different results, I would call this
insanity.
Embrace change and open up to something new today.
