Spinal Concepts

Have you ever heard or even uttered these words before?? The exact opposite sentiment is what most people are used to speaking and/or hearing. I “hate” Mondays has become a sort of anthem for the Monday morning underslept, tired, slave-like 5-day grind mentality of our modern society.

I love to share my “I LOVE Mondays” story with the people I meet and greet because it immediately helps them set a new tone and
direction for the day, the week, and occasionally the rest of their lives. I have had people tell me, that one interaction has allowed
them to break the habit of negative thinking and allowed them to look at each day with optimism, hope for what is possible, and a
revitalized energy when they bring a new attitude to the day.

In the book “Being in Balance”, author Dr. Wayne Dyer talks about the difference between thinking thoughts that are in-balance with the universal law of abundance, and thoughts that are out-of-balance with this same law. He talks about the fact that we will attract whatever we hold true and think about with regularity and frequency. He describes out-of-balance thoughts as being thoughts that are based on a “lack” mentality and in-balance thoughts as being creative and based in “abundance”.

I am going to ask that from this day forward, whether it is Monday or not, you try focusing on what is positive and glorious in your life
instead of what is missing. Choose to wake each morning and practice gratitude for the gift of another day and face all the challenges with determination and gratitude to learn and grow stronger. It is suggested that we take an inventory of our blessings and constantly ask
ourselves how we can share them with others and become a shining example of hope and encouragement.

So, today, “pretend it is Monday”. Decide that you will bank positive energy in your life’s vitality account and bathe in the wonder of a life extraordinary. When you share that experience with me and the people I know that are living this way, you will be more apt to wear a smile
and lift the spirits of others, you will have a spring in your step and a contagious spirit that will create a vacuum that will pull others up, and you will end the day celebrating a terrific journey that sets the stage for an even better tomorrow.

Thank you for being a “Monday Lover” and helping make the world we live in magnificent!

I was at a sports seminar this weekend learning new applications and skills to better assists the injuries we often see at VFCHC.  It was a good weekend to attend, since it rained most of the time around here. At the end of the program, the announcer said, “Ladies and gentlemen, remember to set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight. Remember, spring ahead, fall back. And, if you spring too far, see your chiropractor.” It was great to hear her mention chiropractic, but it also made me think of a few things.

Most people see their chiropractor for one of two reasons:

1. If they have fallen back in their health and well-being.
2. To make sure they don’t fall back in their health and well-being.

While it is good to make sure both of these things happen, everyone who uses chiropractic in this way is severely limiting its, and their own, potential! Let me explain what I mean by defining three words. Those words are health, wellness, and wholeness.

Health is the ability not to get sick. It is the ability to function normally and adapt to most of the physical, chemical, and emotional stresses you encounter in your daily life. This depends upon the ability of your body’s innate intelligence to correctly comprehend and respond to everything in both your internal and external environments in a timely manner. This requires you to have a clear and balanced Nerve System, and this is where regular chiropractic check-ups are so vital to your family’s health. An aligned and fully functional spine allows normal communication between your brain and body to occur, and increases your internal resistance to all of these stresses. [...]
