Healthy & Happy Corner Wellness Healing Center Ubud Bali

Good morning, September.
Another month begins…  perhaps another opportunity to pause & reflect, especially after August brought so much devastating news of natural disasters around the world.

While we go about our everyday lives, somewhere in the world people are facing floods, fires, storms, earthquakes & other devastating events,  losing their homes, livelihoods, & sometimes the people they love.

Nature has a way of reminding us that we are not separate from her. We are part of her.

May this new month awaken something in us: more awareness, more gratitude, & more care for the Earth.
Because protecting nature is not only about saving the planet. It is about protecting the home we all share.

And if we are privileged enough to remain safe, to wake up in the comfort of our homes, and to continue living our everyday lives, let us not take that for granted.

Let us share our love with the world by offering our support, kindness & compassion to those affected by natural disasters. Even a small act of care can mean something to someone who is going through unimaginable hardship.
May we be grateful for what we have, while remembering those who are struggling.

Welcome, September ❤️

Help Support for Jero Mangku Budhidharma
Your support can help ease the financial burden of his medical care in Australia.

I’m sharing this personally with a humble heart & an urgent request for one of our beloved teachers, Rigzin Gyatso, Jero Mangku Budhidharma who is currently facing serious health challenges in Australia.
As he undergoes treatment, much of his medical care must be covered out-of-pocket, creating a considerable financial burden.

For many years, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to sharing dharma with people from around the world and serving the Balinese community as well, touching countless lives through his guidance, wisdom, and compassion.
In this moment, we humbly wish to extend our support to him, just as he has given so much to others.

You can read his profile & his center Swarna Dwipa in another post that I’ve pinned here

We have created a fundraiser to help ease this burden. If you feel called to contribute, any support would be received with deep gratitude.
Any contribution can make a meaningful difference during this difficult time.
No offering is too small, each gesture of kindness carries great meaning.

February is end of Year of Snake & opens with the Lunar New Year carried by the Fire Horse, an energy of transformation, courage, & inner ignition.

This season is not asking for destruction, but refinement. It calls for greater honesty about who we are and who we are becoming.
This month invites the shedding of identities shaped by survival rather than truth, the choosing of growth that is conscious, disciplined, & aligned.
Not becoming loude but clearer.
Not moving faster but becoming truer.

February stands as a threshold, and we are invited to step into it with intention. Are you ready?

Setelah liburan  b*k orang mengalami   post holidaty blues ( "kesedihan/kelelahan pasca liburan").
Yaitu penurunan emosi sementara yg dirasa setelah musim liburan berakhir. Ini bukan diagnosis klinis seperti depresi berat tp respons psikologis umum terhadap kontras antara kegembiraan liburan dan kembalinya rutinitas sehari-hari.
Tanda:
• Merasa sedih, sedih, atau kecewa.
• Hilangnya motivasi atau minat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. 
• Kelelahan, perubahan pola tidur, suli konsentrasi.
Faktor umum penyebab:
• Perubahan ritme mendadak
• Tidur & makan yang tidak teratur selama hari raya.
• Kekecewaan emosional  perayaan & acara sosial berakhir. 
• Stres karena mengejar tugas & tanggung jawab yg tertunda.

Cara Memulihkan Energi :
1. Bangun Kembali Rutinitas Anda. Keteraturan membantu mengatur sistem saraf Anda dan meningkatkan suasana hati serta energi.
2. Makan Sederhana & Beri Nutrisi pada Tubuh Anda
Fokus makanan spt sayuran, buah, protein tanpa lemak, biji-bijian utuh, b*k minum
3. Bergerak Perlahan.
Gerakan lembut meningkatkan sirkulasi dan energi tanpa menambah stres.
4. Tingkatkan Kualitas Tidur
5. Akui Pergeseran Emosional
Menulis jurnal, berlatih mindfulness, & merencanakan hal-hal kecil yang dinantikan dpt mempermudah transisi.
6. Tetapkan Batasan
Kembali berkomitmen secara bertahap.
7. Bersabarlah dengan Diri Sendiri

Mengapa Jadi Sering Ngidam Setelah Liburan?

Ada beberapa faktor biologis, psikologis, & gaya hidup yg berkontribusi fenomena ini.

1. Rutinitas & Pola Makan Terganggu
Selama hari libur, jadwal  makan sering berubah. Pola tidak teratur ini dpt mengganggu kestabilan kadar gula darah. Ketika gula darah turun, otak memberi sinyal utk mendapatkan energi yg cepat—sering kali dln  bentuk makanan manis atau bertepung—yg menyebabkan keinginan ngemil lebih kuat.

2. Faktor Emosional & Stres
Liburan bisa sangat intens secara emosional. Selain membawa kegembiraan dan kebersamaan,juga mendatangkan stres—dari perjalanan, tekanan keuangan dll. Stres memicu pelepasan kortisol, hormon yg dikaitkan dgn peningkatan nafsu makan & keinginan yg lebih kuat utk mengonsumsi makanan padat energi. Mengonsumsi makanan yg menenangkan jg mengaktifkan sistem penghargaan otak (seperti dopamin),  membuat kita merasa lebih baik utk sementara & memperkuat rasa mengidam.

3. Peningkatan Paparan Makanan Berkalori Tinggi
Selama liburan, makanan penutup berlimpah  camilan ada di mana-mana:Paparan terus-menerus thd isyarat makanan yg menarik menstimulasi bagian otak  terkait dgn penghargaan & keinginan, shg membuat keinginan mengidam menjadi lebih sering & intens.

4. Perubahan Tidur & Ketidakseimbangan Hormon.
Begadang & gangguan tidu umum terjadi selama masa liburan—mempengaruhi hormon rasa lapar. Kurang tidur meningkatkan ghrelin (“hormon kelaparan”) & menurunkan leptin (hormon yg menandakan rasa kenyang). Ketidakseimbangan hormonal ini membuat keinginan  mengonsumsi makanan tinggi gula & lemak lebih besar.

5. Asosiasi & Kenangan
Kita sering mengasosiasikan makanan liburan dgn kenangan indah, perayaan, & kenyamanan. Seiring waktu, asosiasi emosional ini menjadi pemicu yg kuat: pemandangan, bau, atau rasa makanan tertentu dpt langsung memicu keinginan utk mengidam, bahkan ketika kita tidak sedang lapar secara fisik.

Jadi Apa Artinya Ini?
Mengidam setelah liburan bukanlah tanda kelemahan atau sesuatu yg salah. Jd jgn merasa bersalah ya.

As 2026 begins, we’re invited to reflect on lessons learned, shed what no longer serves us, and step forward with purpose.

May this year be a journey of growth, resilience, and intentional action—a year where we move closer to the lives we truly aspire to lead.
Happy New Year 2026.
