I forgot to take my vitamins this morning. I just was in too big of a hurry, and didn’t remember to take them. I did remember, however to do my stretches, but I didn’t actually DO my stretches. I know I am suppose to stretch in the morning, my massage therapist once told me, “What is the first thing your dog does in the morning? They stretch, and so should you.”
Now I am at work, and I am suppose to meditate in the morning. Well, I arrived here too late, and it’s Monday…so, there are a lot of emails to catch up on. So, I skipped out on the morning meditation. I know, I feel bad about it…I really should stay in check.
At lunch I planned to workout, maybe I will skip and grab some BBQ instead. What is one meal gonna hurt?
Then I realize, to my relief: Although many decisions I make every single day may not support a healthy body, I am pretty darn healthy despite this.
Does it mean that these actions actually are not healthy for me? Of course not. We know what is healthy and what is not, however we also know that our bodies have an amazing ability to adapt to stress. This is what my innate intelligence can and does do when it is able to function without interference.
I may not meditate every single day, or even stretch all the time, and sometimes I eat unhealthy, or have an alcoholic drink. I will not ever skip on my chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments allow my natural, inborn adaptability (via my innate intelligence) to work at its peak, even when I stress it with poor decisions.
What if we took for granted the most precious of gifts?
It is very EASY to get bogged down in the day-to-day requirements of living in a world that moves faster every day. Usually, there are time crunches that require us to focus on minute details, and it is necessary to realize the purpose of all the work.
This video shows the exact moment a sperm unites with an egg. The bigger the spark, the healthier the organism. So, maybe realizing that there was a fireworks display at your birth, should help you understand that your life was a gift…now unwrap it.
My blogs often consist of ways to improve ourselves. I feel, however, that I have possibly missed out on celebrating successes as well. Take the time in life to celebrate, after all life is rather quick.
To get healthier, you have to get rid of unhealthy habits. I know it sounds simple, but stay with me for 2 minutes on this important, simplistic truth.
A lot of diets, and “strategies” to lose weight or to clean up your health do not utilize the most important factor in becoming healthy:
You must let go of bad habits and poor tendencies, in order to create a healthier life.
Why do most strategies not embrace this simple truth? It’s not sexy. Yep, it’s not really that interesting, it isn’t flashy, and it would be easier to try to sell you a “miracle” pill.
Listen, it comes down to this:
You were made for a healthy existence. Therefore, if you are not healthy, then something is in the way.
Chances are, you do not need a magic pill, a potion, or a fat burning capsule. The health you desire also desires you. Your good health is constantly striving to be realized within you. The natural tendency to the human existence is health.
Remove the interruptions to this natural, normal healthy state, and experience what you are meant to experience.
All to often, I notice that the mind is neglected. The part of our human experience that deciphers our surroundings is not to be taken lightly.
I believe that your mind can determine your life experience. I have met people that live in very similar environments. One is happy, and one is sad. It is all determined by their very own mind.
It all boils down to a decision: “Do you train your mind, or do you allow it to be influenced by outside sources?”
One of the worst decisions I can possibly make when eating breakfast is turn on the news. Stories of wars, poverty, viruses. Wouldn’t it be a better use of time to have a conversation with my wife and son? This is how you can train your mind. Use it properly, and it will become an asset, not a liability.
