I'll be happy when.....

Each month makes up approximately 8.3% of the year. So that means almost 20% of the year has flown by already!

How have you been using your time wisely? Or has your time been using you?

Are you planning out your days and creating opportunities for your own happiness and fulfillment, or has the day to day whirlwind of life sucked you in?

The problem with not taking charge of your own life is that it's too easy to fall into the trap of being a victim, making excuses and blaming other events or people for your own unhappiness and disappointments.

Once you become a victim, it's only a matter of time before you get stuck in the "I'll be happy when syndrome." This is an extremely dangerous game to play. Days, weeks, months, and years go by where you keep telling yourself "I'll be happy when I have/when I am....." and insert whatever life event, material item etc that fits in.

This game can become a never-ending cycle, where you get fleeting moments of a false happiness because you bought a new car or new pair of shoes or a new house, but that happiness wears off very quickly and now you are on the hunt for the next thing or person to make you happy.

This leads to envy and resentment. "I'd be happy if I could afford what my neighbor has!" Or, "I'd be happy if my spouse would just do what I expect them to do to make me happy!" Unfortunately though, the reality is you'll never be happy when you search for it outside of yourself. In fact, that search often leads to misery!

You will only find true happiness and fulfillment when you search within yourself, find some purpose to your life and then start living according to those values that inspire you. People who do that might not be happy every minute of every day, but they are authentic, genuine, fulfilled, and inspiring to be around.

They also have a lot less regret when they are on their death bed!

What have you ever bought thinking it would make you happy only to end up disappointed?

Is it safe to crack your own neck?

If you can "crack" your own neck and back, then do you need to bother seeing a Chiropractor? And, is it safe to do this to yourself? The reality is when a Chiropractor locates a part of your spine that is restricted there is a lot more specifics to it than just a "stuck" joint. The joint has lost its normal flexibility in certain directions, and there will also be a disturbance created to the nerves that pop out from the spine at that location. When a Chiropractor adjusts your spine, we are applying just the right amount of force in the specific direction necessary to get that joint mobile again. This will also essentially create a reboot of the nervous system, just like when you reboot your computer with a forced close because it keeps freezing. The reason we have to be so specific is that the joints above and below the "stuck" joint begin to move more to compensate for the lack of movement (our body is extremely clever like that), and we only wan...

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...

Chiropractic And Risks - Can An Adjustment Actually Cause A Stroke?

There is constantly false information being spread about Chiropractic. But the reality is we have a safety record that is the envy of all other health and medical professions. Perhaps the most dangerous false myth is that Chiropractic care can, in rare circumstances cause a particular type of stroke involving the arteries in the neck. However the research completely contradicts this. We spend this short episode explaining the truth! Check out this episode!
