I’m determined to show you that caring for your health (yes, wellbeing healthcare) is truly in your grasp and should not be expensive. And it is not just for Christmas!
I’ve put together a gifting list for you – in the true spirit of giving.
Dana in Buddhism means ‘to give’. Because by giving something that is meaningful to us, we are showing the truest form of care and generosity. We also then open ourselves up to receiving thanks too – don’t forget that bit of the exchange. So what is most valuable to you? My biggest asset is my time. The time I have for family and friends, the knowledge that I have as a doctor, these are mine. What are yours?
So here we have it. A wellbeing healthcare gift list that is by no means exhaustive, but allows for both giving and receiving. A flow of currency or energy. I’ve used the 6 pillars of Human Health to group these ideas for you. I have tried to include some local businesses where I can, and if you have more ideas then do let me know. Many of these are things that are free or shouldn’t make you feel sick at the thought of getting your credit card bill in January!
