Ayurvedic Philosophy - #2750
I've been trying to live a healthier life, but it feels like I’m stuck in a cycle that isn’t really getting me anywhere. My energy is all over the place, my digestion seems off like, bloated almost every day, and sleep? Let’s just say I wake up more tired than when I go to bed. A friend suggested I look into ayurvedic philosophy, but I don’t even know where to start. They said it’s not just about food or herbs but a whole way of understanding your body and mind together, and honestly, I feel like I might need that. Let me give some context. I’ve been working long hours (WFH vibes mostly, so lots of sitting), eating whatever is quick and easy, and my workout routine is pretty inconsistent. One week I’ll hit yoga classes every other day, and the next week I’m too tired to even roll out my mat. Coffee has become my best friend (I drink like 3-4 cups daily), but I feel jittery sometimes, and by afternoon, I crash hard. Could this be affecting what you call “doshas” in ayurvedic philosophy? I don’t even fully understand what doshas are, but I read somewhere that this philosophy is all about balancing them. Also, I tend to overthink. My brain is constantly running like it’s on a hamster wheel, and I don’t know if that’s related to all these physical symptoms. Is that something ayurvedic philosophy can help with, like calming the mind while fixing the body? One last thing: I’ve noticed some odd symptoms recently. My skin feels dry and patchy, and I’m getting these random headaches that don’t seem to go away even after I take ibuprofen. I’m wondering if this could be something to do with what I’m eating or maybe my sleep routine? Does ayurvedic philosophy suggest changes in diet or lifestyle for these kinds of problems? Do I need to start with identifying my dosha, or is there a different approach to figuring out what’s out of balance?
