Let’s start off 2024 different than the past 4 years. Let’s also not get sidelined by the New Years Resolution trap.
While this is a Common Sense Health and Wellness newsletter that uses logic and critical thinking skills, these skills are needed in all aspects of life.
So I have some 2024 IMW challenges for everyone. It involves increased independent individualized use of common sense, logic and critical thinking skills.
You up for a little bit of critical thinking?
The following hopefully are methods to stay safe and healthy.
Here goes…..
Do NOT take anything you hear at face value. Try and understand where the person speaking is coming from. Do they have any known biases?
Question anything that does not pass the sniff test. If it doesn’t, then I’d suggest avoidance until you know enough to truly decide.
You have the right to speak up and ask questions to get a better understanding of an issue. Questions are good, just try not to be antagonistic or show your own potential bias.
You have the right to question, agree or disagree with anyone, even if they are an expert. Just do so in a productive way that encourages open civil discussion and debate. This is what I know about true experts. They are always always always questioning what they believe to be true. Nothing is ever settled. There is not one way for everyone. So true experts want to be questioned so they can become even better experts. False experts try and shut down or censor opposing views.
You have the right to bodily autonomy. You should not be forced to do anything medically against your will.
You have the right to full informed consent about any proposed medical treatment.
Do not allow anyone or any organization to use fear, threats or coercion to get you to do anything against your beliefs.
Let’s all get back to a civil society where we can agree to disagree and still be friends, family, colleagues and neighbors.
Do not allow anyone or anything to divide us.
2024 can be the restart of a civil society where we all can learn from each other and regain friendships that have suffered. Getting back control of your individual health and wellness away from the traditional medical establishment is a must and hopefully is a goal to shoot for.
The traditional healthcare system is very good at some things and may save your life one day. But one of the goals of the IMW is to help you delay ever needing the traditional healthcare system.
So, are you ready to increase your critical thinking skills in 2024?
It’s never too late.
Who is with me?
Happy 2024!
Trying to do just this!
