Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 672
Why is a balanced life a myth?
Dr. Jenelle Kim, Eastern Medicine Practitioner, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 672, to discuss the profound wisdom gained through life experiences, the power of choice and mindfulness, the importance of Eastern medicine in healing, and the necessity of flexibility and self-awareness in navigating life's challenges.
“Anxiety, panic, depression, or fatigue are imbalanced mental and physical states. The imbalance occurs when we're overwhelmed and we don't know how to balance. If you look at everything in life, it is constantly a balance.” – Dr. Jenelle Kim

Power Quotes From The Show
Everything Constantly Changes
“Every moment we come across, every single circumstance, is a balance and it changes constantly. So we can live by certain principles that we go about our daily life, but it actually empowers us to remember that every situation is going to be different.” – Dr. Jenelle Kim
The Power of Choice
“We always have a choice. We can't control anything in this life except for ourselves. Things are going to happen no matter what we think we can do. There is a lot that is not in our hands, but what we can control in this life is our response to it.” – Dr. Jenelle Kim
Expand Your Mind
“When you expand your mind, when you increase your perspective, you can see more clearly. And when you can see more clearly, you can balance with situations that come your way in a more effective manner.” – Dr. Jenelle Kim
