What is it going to take?
So, what is it going to take to make a change? I believe it is safe to say that we all know what it would take to live a healthier life. Maybe you are not a nutrition expert, for example, however you know that you don't eat as much vegetables as you should. Maybe...
Eyes Wide Open
Living with eyes wide open means that we remove the blinders (see last post, "blinders"http://drmatthewmix.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/blinders/). It can be a little frightening, opening your eyes to everything that is available, thereby living in a "different" world....
Blinders
Have you ever seen horse blinders? At Mardi Gras time, almost every horse has them. The goal is to keep the horse focused on the path in front...directly in front of the horse. The other goal is to not allow distractions from the people on the outside....
Adapt
It's interesting how we change to suit our environment. This inborn ability to adapt and change is seen in animals easily, like when a lizard changes color to suit its background. Our change is not so obvious, however it does happen. When it's cold outside, for...
Gossip
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...
Routines
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...
Friends
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...
Focus
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...
Wearing many hats
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...
Terrible!
I have a 2-year-old son that likes to constantly talk. You really have to be careful what you say around the house. I was watching the Yankees play the Red Sox this weekend, and as usual, I like to get "involved" in the game. The new word my son picked up on was:...
On Empty
You see it all the time...someone on the side of the road, with a gas can walking away from their car. It's obvious what happened, yet inevitably it will happen to all of us. Sometimes the obvious things are the ones that are missed the most. We get "caught up" in...
Lottery
I had to stop at the convenience store on the way to work recently. Just like usual, I end up going for $1 can of soup, and here I am picking up 4-5 things. Of course, I never expect this to happen, so as I had entered the store, I decided, "no need for a basket,...
Marathon
Life is marathon, not a sprint. I see this understanding among people that get great results while under chiropractic care. It's the understanding that symptoms will come and go, however as long as we do the right things, we will get the right results. These are the...
Slipping and Checking
That is what I do all day long....slip and check. Slipping: This is what we do over and over again that brings poor results. Example: we pick the wrong meal to eat, and add unwanted calories and chemicals to our bodies. We sit incorrectly at the desk, which causes...
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want to be healthy? Do you think about it when deciding what you will eat this week? Do you think about it enough to schedule your exercise? Do you think about it to research healthy living websites? Do you think about it when you think about what your...
Is you goal big enough?
The US Olympic trials have now been broadcasting all over television. No matter what sport you are watching, you see the same committed, focused, muscular bodies working toward their goal...the chance to win a medal. It makes one think, "What's my one big goal?"....
Habit
I really enjoy exercise. Not too many people can say that. Exercise to most people is a chore, something they have to do to lose weight, or fit in that outfit they bought for the wedding next month. So, because it is a chore, then that means they feel like they...
Now
"I want it, and I want it now!" -Varuca Salt in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” It's not surprising to see a child wanting immediate gratification. I remember Varuca yelling at her parents and anyone else that would listen. At that very point when Varuca is...
Your most precious commodity
I would imagine the word “commodity” doesn’t often surface in a doctor’s office. This is a word that you hear in a bank, or a coffee shop in downtown New York. In the past we have put a lot of trust in banks, and other financial institutions, maybe it’s time to focus...
