In gossip, there is always a message. Usually it’s interesting, and hopefully something that the receiver of the message has not heard yet. The speaker of the message usually does not know the entire story, and even as they say it, there is some doubt that the true meaning of what they are saying is probably not 100% accurate, even to themselves.
A poorly functioning nerve system is like gossip. There is a message that is present, however the message is distorted. Just like any communication, it is important to understand the true meaning of the message before any conclusions are drawn, or actions are carried out.
Your brain is the sender. When interruptions are present in the communication between your brain and body, you will not get the proper actions. If those actions involve a healthy immune system, then your body is at a weakened state of defense.
Stop the nerve system gossip by getting your nerve system checked and interference to it removed as often as your chiropractor deems necessary, if true health is a goal of yours.

Routines can be good or bad, as is everything with life. One little change in your normal routine, and the entire habit loop is interrupted. Or even more interesting, the initiator of the routine occurs on the wrong day, wrong time, wrong place, and here you are going through the motions. For example, you wake up to your alarm that was not supposed to be set on Sunday, and start going through the ritual of going to work. How embarrassing, yet relieving that you can just slip back into bed!
Are you just going through the motions, or is it time to re-think your actions to make sure they are creating the type of lifestyle you want? Chances are that right now there are routines in all of our lives that could change for the better.

Who you hang out with has an undeniable effect on what you morph into. We are constantly changing. By this I mean in all aspects. You are not the person that you were at the beginning of this blog. Physically you have already had cells die, and others born to take their place. As you read this blog, your brain is forming new connections, as you start to change the way that you think. You are also possibly recalling past memories to draw similarities to what I am discussing with you right now. Chemically, you are different because your body is acting like a huge pharmacy, constantly releasing and absorbing “drugs” into your body at the right place and time.
So, if we are constantly in a state of flux, then we can determine who we want to change into, by surrounding ourselves with the things that will bring about the person we want to become. One of thees is hanging out with people who add to your life the positive things you wish to attract yourself. This is not an easy thing to do. Many times we tend to hang out with people who are exactly like us. The problem with that, is that there is no growth that can occur. Of course, that scenario would be better than hanging out with someone who has bad habits, and therefore has the potential to bring us down!
So, I guess you have to decide whether you would like to stay the same, grow, or regress.
If you have been following this blog for at least a week, I think you know where I stand. I hang out with people who challenge me, whether that means mentally, spiritually, or physically. I hang out with healthy, happy, and intelligent individuals. I surround myself with those that share my understanding that health comes from within. With that understanding, only great conversations can occur.

Have you ever bought a new vehicle, and then all of a sudden it seems like everyone else in your town is starting to drive the same thing? Maybe you here a song that you have never heard before, and all of a sudden it is all you can do to not hear it…maybe you hear it 10 times a day! What is really happening here? Are you REALLY attracting these things into your life?
I’m going to say, “no”. Those things have always been there. Your brain can not process everything that is going on at every second of the day in your environment, to the degree of specificity that would allow you to see that car, or hear that song is not being brought to your awareness. Your brain actually will “zone out” to save a little room for your thoughts, or on what you are focusing.
So, here is the question I pose to you today: “What do I place my focus?” What we focus our attention to is extremely important. Maybe these things have always been there, you just don’t “see” them. Here are a couple of suggestions.
Focus on:
Health vs sickness
Wellness vs disease
Full expression of life vs limitations

It’s amazing to me how many people on social media use it to push their multi-level marketing products. The people I am talking about are ones that already have another job, that should require quite a bit of attention. There are plenty of examples of this, however to put it an easy-to-understand observation, let me explain my concern.
I would never utilize a…
Dentist that also sells weight loss products,
Podiatrist that sells Viagra,
Optometrist that sells hair gel,
Plumber that sells nutritional supplements,
Realtor that sells furniture,
_____(insert your profession here)_____, that sells_____(insert a non-similar product or service here)____.
I have no problem if you have multiple businesses, I think it is great that people choose to work for a living, and some of them work quite a lot. Usually, however these individuals are unsuccessful at their primary job, so they move their attention away from it, and towards something else. Instead, maybe the course of action should be to:
Find your passion, then learn how to make it your life’s work.
I’ll tell you mine… I am passionate about Chiropractic. I have experienced the results for myself personally, and I have seen Chiropractic literally change lives. It is therefore my life’s mission to help so many people through Chiropractic care, that I put Bastrop on the map as the healthiest community in Texas.
