In the last ten years, my life has changed completely.
It started with long years in which I didn’t feel well, physically, most of the day.
Until the age of 29, I lived with digestive problems, lack of energy and a volatile and low mood, taking medication 3 times a day for a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) that I have been carrying for a decade.
I work at a job that I can’t stand, I don’t exhaust myself in it and I’m frustrated because I see in front of me, all the time, people who do fulfill themselves and earn a lot of money for it.
They don’t just work at something they love, they also live such a free life, where they don’t have a boss they answer to, hours they have to work every day and a dreary office to get to.
My friends are great, and I have fun with them, but I don’t really feel at home there, that they understand me or that I see a future with them in my life.
It was the same with relationships, sexuality, how my days looked, and with my family – everything worked and nothing worked.
Then came the turning point.
New discoveries, about the world, about health, about nutrition, about taking responsibility for my life, about the importance of good habits.
I never thought about the fact that I don’t have a morning routine, that is, I don’t have a fixed way in which I start the day, actions that will fix me, wake me up and make me motivate myself to action and creation.
I also noticed that I don’t have clear goals, at least not ones that I chose from a place of faith and passion and not of conforming to the expectations of parents and society.
And that there is not much time in the day that I invest in spending time with myself, that is, not with the TV or the phone, but with my thoughts.
The first change in my life was to build a daily routine for myself that would support the person I want to be, one that has a morning routine and a night routine that consist of habits that improve the quality of sleep, that will improve my physical and emotional health, a routine that creates clarity, energy, a good mood and focus.
I started practicing meditation every day, starting with ten minutes that were difficult and unbearable and slowly increased,
I started using daily writing to examine my daily conduct, to set goals, to explore my dreams.
And of course I added more and more different habits that helped support my personal needs, in my self-improvement, before I turned to investing in friends, work or family.
I understood that you need strong foundations for a building before you add floors.
Before these initial actions, meditation, writing, supportive routine, it is difficult to make more significant changes.
Because in order to know what to do and how to act, I need to understand where I want to get to, and when I am confused, sick and distracted most of the time how is it possible to even understand what my body and soul are asking of me.
I created the Tools for Change course to share with you these tools, how I have been practicing and using them for over a decade, and how you can also start or even deepen the practice you already do with a new approach,
and discover all the different ways in which writing and meditation can be channeled to create the reality we want.

The third discovery is the challenges on the path to healing and dealing with the issue called illness, which is essentially information intended to inspire us and improve our lives – if we respond to it correctly.
When I healed myself, I was sure that all the answers to healing were found in changing my diet and lifestyle.
In recent years, as I have read and delved deeper and had conversations with hundreds of experts, many of them on podcasts,
I understand that illness is not just a manifestation of an unhealthy life.
So what is a disease?
If a person sleeps 3 hours at night and when he wakes up in the morning he eats sugar and caffeine to wake up, he sits all day at home and in the office, away from the sun and the earth, with artificial lighting, under constant and ongoing stress, frustrated with his relationship, parents and boss, holds grudges for past events, fails to express himself or fulfill himself and is very angry, when he is hungry he eats ultra-processed food devoid of nutritional value – and in addition every day he drinks alcohol or takes drugs.
Is it surprising that he does not feel well?
And if this is the case, why does he not feel well?
Because every choice, thought, emotion, habit and belief of his created it, meaning that health is actually our personality, and it is a reaction to every choice we have made.
If we go to the doctor, what can he do with our personality?
After all, it is we who are responsible for us.
And the doctor? He learned to treat symptoms with medication and surgery because most people are not interested in making a significant change, but what your body is asking for with its symptoms is really not a cure.
When we take medication, we shut our smart body’s “mouth” and its ability to signal to us that something is wrong or not working for us.
And many times we also believe that we can heal ourselves and try a more natural way, we just don’t know where to start.
If you ask yourself questions like:
How do I even start to be this person who knows how to manage their health, and no matter what comes, I work with myself and with various natural solutions to heal?
I created the Self-Healing Course especially for those who are ready for a deep process, who have already started or made some kind of dietary change, who already practice meditation and a routine, in which I convey everything a person needs to know to embark on a healing process, whether it’s a migraine or cancer.
And no, I won’t cure you,
I’ll just teach you how to get started,
That means you’ll know afterwards what you can do and where you’ll need expert help and what treatments will be relevant, plus I’m hosting some of the people I most appreciate in everything related to healing processes;
Ran Kalif, Dr. Gil Yosef Shahar and Eliran De-Mieu. It will be fascinating.
