The alarm sounds, and your first choice for the day is directly in front of you. It is a relatively easy choice: push snooze, or get up.
My alarm clock is set, by me, the night before. The intention is good: I will wake at a specific time, to get specific things done, to reach my specific goal. However, when the time comes to wake, and actually take action, what does the average person do?
Every morning we are given the chance to fulfill our obligations that we made to ourselves, or continue down the easy path of mediocrity. Sounds harsh? Maybe. However, the person that has mediocre health, makes mediocre decisions.
What decisions can you make tomorrow morning, if you do not push the snooze button?
You live your life through your nervous system. Every action you take requires the presence of a nervous system. Whether that action is running, seeing, loving, or hitting…it is all completely under control of the master control mechanisms in your body, which require direct control of the nervous system.
This is the system we chiropractors work with on a daily basis. It makes no sense whatsoever for someone to completely neglect this system until a symptom is present. It is so delicate, it is so important, that infants should be checked immediately at birth. This is how life started out for my son, and this is how life should start out for mankind…with a fully functioning nervous system, free from any interruption whatsoever.
Keep it clear, and experience the well adjusted life.
When asked, “What can chiropractic do for me?”, the best answer I can possibly give is, EXPERIENCE.
Understanding chiropractic’s affects, you must understand the definition of a subluxation. A subluxation is what chiropractors correct. It is that thing that interferes with your ability to perform the way you were designed to perform. Removing a subluxation is like:
upgrading from a Pento to a Lamborghini. (With a Pento, you can still get to the grocery, however your experience is completely affected)
putting on glasses for the first time. (I had no idea at 15 years old I needed glasses. Seeing the leaves in trees for the first time is an experience I’ll never forget.)
Franzia to Padrone. (A friend introduced me to better wine. What a difference a better wine makes on the taste buds)
your first real kiss. (No explanation needed.)
your first pair of real running shoes. (not the ones you can buy on sale at Beall’s, the kind that a running store picks for you based on your gait pattern.)
upgrading your food from McDonald’s. (a steak, properly cooked has no equal, IMHO)
Truth is, as much as I try to explain what the chiropractic experience is like, I will never do it justice. It’s a NECESSITY that your nerve system be under care of a chiropractor. It simply isn’t an option, it is a necessity in order to perform at the level that life demands. Without a healthy nerve system, you simply cannot experience the life you were meant to experience.
It is always interesting how much people want to talk about the weather. No matter where you go, the story is the same.
Think it’s going to rain today?
Looks like the winter is coming to a close..hmm well see!
I’ve noticed that people truly seem to have an infatuation with the weather in ways no other subject area gets attention. Why is that?
Here is my thought:
Weather is something we all experience. It’s that one thing that we know we are all “going through”. No matter your financial, spiritual, or health status…weather is the same for all of us. Maybe it is just that one thing that gives us a feeling of belonging. Is there any other subject that we know we all agree on? Sure, the Olympics gives all Americans the same team to root for, but then again we don’t all agree to like the same sports. I have recently really enjoyed watching hockey, however many like figure skating…boring!
What about health? (You knew I needed to talk about my favorite subject, right?)
How are you?
Do people REALLY want to know how you feel? Not really. Yet when someone says:
Hey, how you doin’?
Do they really want to know how you feel? Doubtful. Personally, I want to know how you are FUNCTIONING…truly how you are doin’. These are two completely different things. Knowing how you feel allows me to be empathetic to your situation, however helps me and you very little in way of giving me information to really try to help you.
So, here we are, bonded together like a fraternity in the one thing that we know we are all experiencing…weather. Guess when you think about it, it’s not really that bad. It’s nice to know that we are all experiencing the same thing. It is important to add that our bodies’ response to the weather is a completely different story….more on that later.
For now..
Looks like a good, clear day today, 72 for a high, no chance of rain…at least that’s what “they” say. I’m not washing my truck, if you know what I mean.
As we enjoy time with family, we think about the important things…our values.
The highest family values that we subscribe to are honesty, love, purpose, making a difference, family, and health.
I suggest this season you bring substance to the conversations. Instead of talking about celebrities, or greedy politicians, try this:
See what values your family comes up with. Then, we can all keep each other accountable to only feeding our values.
By reading and sharing this blog,
you are taking a step towards a healthier future. That step means you believe in the possibility of greater potential.
Thank you for sharing, caring, and loving what we love most of all…potential.
