64// Chaos, Order, and Hell: How to Walk Through Valleys and Mountains In Your Health
Have you ever felt that your health journey was simply chaotic? Have you ever felt that your health journey was a type of living hell, one you didn’t know how to get out of? Have you ever felt that all you wanted in your health, and life, was a little order? Some clear next steps that would work? And a path that would get you - and keep you - healthy? I recently finished the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B Peterson, and these elements of chaos, order, and hell hit me strongly in his book. Jordan B Peterson is a renowned psychologist who is on a mission to make sense of life. He combines philosophy, psychology, and the importance of story to create human meaning to explore subjects such as suffering, failing in life, and succeeding. When I originally read this book, I had no idea that I would connect to it so strongly in terms of health. But the more I read, the more parallels I saw to what Jordan was saying and the experience that both I and my clients go through in our health. Therefore, I wanted to dedicate an episode to Jordan’s three major concepts in his book, 12 Rules for Life: chaos, order, and hell. In today’s podcast, I’m going to map out what it means to walk through chaos, order, and hell in our health journey, how all three are necessary for true healing and growth, and what it looks like to walk well through each well.
