YOUR HEALTH AUDIT RESULTS
SCORE 36 – 60: YOUR CURRENT STATE OF BEING IS SURVIVING
If you score or identify with the Surviving State of Being, welcome to
the club! There are a lot of members here! And no wonder. Today’s world
is overwhelming. There can be so many ‘to be’ and ‘to do’ lists that life
can feel as though you’re on a never-ending treadmill. But you can’t run
forever; your body cannot maintain a stressed survival state permanently.
At some point something will give and it’s usually your health and your
emotional wellbeing.
It’s time for you to Be Well: To regain balance in your life, you need to make
a commitment to yourself to do everything you can to support your body’s
natural healing systems. This may require a lifestyle overhaul or simply
a shift in perspective. Do you have any habits or ingest any substances
that sabotage your body’s ability to renew and heal itself? Take a good
look at your current ‘daily grind’. Your body is likely to be running on stress
hormones: this needs to change. The adrenal glands tend to be seriously
under the pump for most people in the ‘survival’ state. This dominos into
symptoms that include insomnia and hormonal imbalance – symptoms
which are so common in both women and men in the modern world. Much
of the content in this book will both assist and challenge you. It could be
that your current habit is to adopt the ‘I am fine’ mantra, but underneath it
all you really aren’t fine. The consequences simply may not have shown up
yet, and you may be heading towards a Depleted State of Being.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Women today face a dilemma. How do we juggle our busy, demanding lives and never-ending to-do lists, with the essential need for self-care? We’re overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted and either ignoring or oblivious to the signs of burnout. It’s time for change.
