In researching healthy solutions for my family, I (like many people) have realized that we (much too) often fool ourselves by fixating on and eliminating symptoms.
Mostly, these do not solve (at least not holistically and long-term) or even tackle the root cause(s). Thus, many diseases are labeled chronic when we (continuously) fail to eliminate them by using the wrong fixes.
Having looked into this phenomenon and analyzed it in great detail to find a better solution, I can now understand it (a bit) better. In turn, that means I can very quickly recognize a repeated pattern when it occurs elsewhere.
I’m a passionate systems thinker, looking for root causes and how to fix more complex problems more effectively. I have written more about this in another article.
