Gratitude Retreat at Waterloo Village

Imagine if we explored our lives and found that what we wanted already existed in our bodies, minds, and souls!  On Saturday November 15, Waterloo UMC Church, on the grounds of historic Waterloo Village, Stanhope, will sponsor a gratitude retreat, allowing attendees to step away from the busy world of  “wanting it all, and wanting everything” to quietly talk, meditate, and participate in restorative practices to remind us of all that we have and to practice gratitude.  People of all ages and religious beliefs are welcome. A light breakfast and vegetarian lunch will be provided.  The retreat costs $25, with net proceeds being donated to A Future with Hope Foundation (AFutureWithHope.org) to help in Superstorm Sandy Recovery, and the Imagine No Malaria campaign (ImagineNoMalaria.org).

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
