Hey folks!
I hope you are all doing great! Can’t believe April is just around the corner….get your April 1st pranks set! Sadly, when April comes, our “March Into Wellness” month ends. We have had a great month, with many of our practice members completing all the challenges and most everyone completing one or two! Way to go!
This final week of “March Into Wellness” week is “Turn Your Power On ” week. What we mean by that is, when you get adjusted your brain is able to communicate with your body correctly so your power is quite literally being turned on! You see, subluxation robs the nervous system of the ability to function. It decreases the body’s healing power and functions by not allowing the brain and body (literally everything in your body:heart, lungs, etc) to communicate via the spinal cord and spinal nerves. So that’s why getting adjusted is so important and for so much more than just back pain! Adjustments keep the body working the way it was designed to.
The goal to earn your raffle ticket this week is to make all of your scheduled visits. That’s something that should be done anyway. Keeping your adjusting schedule allows your body to get into a healing pattern, and like going to the gym, each time you go builds on the last.
This is what I like best about chiropractic: the ability for your body to function optimally is literally a power you (yes, you) already have. Everything you need to be and stay healthy is inside of you. You don’t need to keep your heart beating, it does that on its own. The body doesn’t have a aspirin shortage when you have a headache. Do you see it? The power to have health is in you, you are your own best doctor. So, the body has a power to gain and maintain health that can be prevented by subluxation. But, who has the power to prevent subluxation? Anyone? Bueller….Bueller….
That’s right! It’s still you! By keeping your adjustment appointments, by eating a clean diet, sleeping well (check out the workshop!), thinking well, exercising, practicing faith and love and taking your vitamins you help prevent your regularity and severity of subluxation. You have all the control in your well being.
So, here it is…your body has the power to heal itself and you have the power to make it’s job much easier. I bet you didn’t know how powerful and great you really are! When you understand this (that your health and healing lies in your hands) you can start to understand that anything is possible for you! A tough meeting at work, stressful day, kids are crazy, etc….so many daily stressors are manageable when you have your power on and you are armed with the understanding of just how great you really are!
