Happiness Psychology - Use YOUR strengths for long term happiness - Part 2

Using one of your top 5 strengths in a new way is a method used by  Psychologist, Martin Seligman and his theories of Strengths and virtues  are well known. You an use this as a free way to find instant happiness  in your own life, right now. This is a huge part of whats now known as  Positive Psychology.   THERE IS A PART 2, 3 and 4 coming in this series.   Take the free test here: https://www.viacharacter.org/   I've used this personalty test with hundreds of patients and students  over the years, and found it incredibly useful for myself as well. This  isn't strictly Chinese Medicine BUT, it is incredibly relevant to the  aspects of understanding ourselves and our interaction with the world  (a Very Chinese Medicine concept) ... The VIA Strengths test is based on  the research by well known Psychologist, Martin Seligman and his book,  Strengths and Virtues.  Its worth 10 minutes of your time to find out about yourself.  Once you've taken the test, you'll get an email with your top 5  strengths...what then? -    One way to instantly increase happiness is to pick one of those  strengths and do something new in it today. For instance if your strength is "Appreciation of Beauty" you could take  a walk in your lunch break with the specific goal to find beautiful  things around you.  If your strength is creativity - you could explore something so new and  different - often creative people enjoy taking risks or exploring  something new...or you could dig around in the closet /shed for that old  dusty guitar and start to play it again. Maybe join an creative craft  group and learn how to knit!  If your strength is Courage you could plan to do something adventurous  today Kindness? - make a cake for you neighbor, buy a blanket for that  homeless guy who hangs out the front of your local supermarket ...you  get the idea. Judgement (Critical Thinking / open mindedness) - start a blog on a  topic your passionate about. Teamwork - Join your local sports club, volunteer with a group who meet  together to clean up the environment...get involved in a group with  similar passions or interests.  There are 24 different character strengths/virtues (check them out in  the chart below) ...and lots of ways to use them, but it all starts with  knowing what are your individual traits.  Next week I'm going to do a video series on how to use this and how I've  used it to help my patients and students live a happier and healthier  life.  I hope you have fun learning about yourself with the test.  Marie's practice/contact details:   MARIE HOPKINSON, Registered Chinese Herbalist and Acupuncturist in  Australia (AHPRA)  Consultations for treatment (individual) please call my clinic office to  book in: 08 93289233 (Perth Natural Medical Clinic) or  go to : http://www.bespokemedicine.net/ Email hello@bespokemedicine.net  Facebook:  fb.me/bespokemedicine IMPORTANT: This video, as with all videos on the The Chinese Medicine  Podcast are NOT a replacement for a health professional diagnosis.If you have any undiagnosed symptoms, or changes in your health  condition The Chinese Medicine Podcast urges you to see your own doctor,  GP, Chinese medicine practitioner, acupuncturist or other health  professional as appropriate.

Feel Happier Instantly - Know Your Character Strengths Part 1

Is thousands of years of history of medicine slowly going down the bureaucratic toilet? Part 2 of 2. This isn't a typical episode, but I have felt the need to get this issue out there for a while now.  Ive never had AHPRA try to interfere in my personal health until now... Discussion points include different systems of health care, and discussing are we slowly letting our system of medicine be eroded? Why this might be a bigger problem going forward using western medicine model to measure a different medicine system altogether...why isn't anyone concerned about that? Why isn't our board standing up for us about our system of medicine? How this has concerned me throughout the past 14 months.

Acupuncture Vs Cupping - Dr Geoff Brothers, Chinese Medicine Doctor

Is Acupuncture effective in helping fertility, particularly when undergoing an IVF cycle? What does the current research say AND how do we interpret that data? It can be super confusing, even for practitioners who are not academics or researchers to understand how it all fits in the current body of evidence. Amy Forth, an expert on this topic, helps us understand the research, the current evidence and unpacks it to an easy level. If you are curios about the use of Acupuncture as part of supporting an IVF cycle, this episode is one that’s not to me missed, as we chat about what kinds of studies have been done, the number of participants (why that's important) the kind of control groups used (and we explain what that means) and what is “sham acupuncture” and what often happens to research results when different controls or placebos are used. Amy also discusses how the research helps us to understand “therapeutic dose” of acupuncture which is something we don’t talk about enough - EG - how many treatments should a person have and does it make a difference? This is all based on the current research.
