Can we afford retirement?  Will we have the health to enjoy retirement?I've been talking with practice members about their ability to pay for their living expenses while retired. 

It is becoming difficult.  Social security is not an income replacement.  It doesn't keep up with current economical burdens. 

The first problem is the anxiety.  Nothing is worse than your nervous system working overtime.  Constantly worrying, lacking confidence, and dreading the future is a huge drain on your body.  

I had a college professor who emphasized the importance of planning ahead.  I knew deep down that it was prudent to to be prepared.  I was always going to him for questions and rehashing out my notes to grasp the material.  He was also stressing how valuable it is to avoid the anticipatory anxiety.  He was right.  It just made things worse. 

My worst nerves were due to my lack of preparation.  It wasn't from procrastination, but from a complete overwhelm.  For me, the complete overwhelm caused me to procrastinate, adding insult to injury.  My panic stood in the way so I couldn't reorganize my notes in a way that allowed  me to retain the information.  

The best students own the material.  And they have a method to break down the information into manageable bites so they can learn large amounts of material in short time. 

This overwhelming anxiety gets in the way of actual problem solving. 

The same way students prepare for a test, is the same way you can calm down your anxiety. 

We use mental rehearsal to prime the brain for rewiring, and then the chiropractic adjustment gels the desired change, which would be a calmness.

Dr. R.G. Hamer once said, you cannot learn to swim while you are drowning.  New learning takes place when the brain is calm. 

Let's get into a calm state then dive into more strategies to make retirement a fulfilling chapter in our lives. 

Preparation replaces panic

I Am Worried...

 About 10-15 years ago I was watching a trend of middle aged people struggling to remain in the work force.  They just wanted to make it to the date they could receive their retirement benefits.  Folks in their late 50's were suffering with chronic conditions that made it difficult to physically  perform their duties.  

If you've been on the job doing the same activities that you've done for decades, and then it becomes a challenge to keep up with everyone else, it's demoralizing.  I've had many practice members who felt as if their presence at their job is a waste because they knew their productivity was lacking.  Others times, they were dreading possible confrontations with coworkers losing their patience with them because they were becoming a drag on the whole team.  Termination was also a reality. 

I've worked with people who were unable to sit for a few hours because of pain, so even people with a sedentary job have troubles.  

When people feel they are not contributing to their jobs the way they used to, it becomes a heavy mental burden, which does take a toll. 

Now, here we are in 2025 and as I am approaching retirement age I realize I am part of this group.  I still have many years before I reach the age of retirement (62/65/67/70) and will most likely keep on working.

I have a new worry regarding my aging practice members.  We've all watched how prices are rising ridiculously.  Housing is expensive along with groceries, car repairs, etc. Social security and other retirement pensions are not realistically keeping up with the current economy.  Many have already burned through their savings.  It makes the future bleak and scary.  

In order to keep up, many seniors are still in the workforce.  Up to 19% of workers are over age 65. The numbers are increasing especially in the group of seniors over age 75. 

I'm working with people who are in this predicament. Their current state of health is limiting their ability to do the work they need to make enough money.  Pain, old injuries affecting mobility, low energy, weak muscles, shortness of breath interfere with the ability to stay organized, maintain a work schedule, get adequate sleep and have general feelings of satisfaction.  

I'm worried about providing adequate help to my practice members who feel they cannot maintain an active role in society.   I see the results of mainstream health care and I see what mainstream health care ignores, so I hope to offer this important missing component to my practice members.   (Crucial to all ages, by the way...not just retired folks.)

Sometimes they hit a wall, a plateau.  They feel better but just don't have enough energy or strength to tolerate the physical and mental demands of their day.  This leads them to restrict their lives. 

There are others out there in my town who have no idea how chiropractic can impact their overall health.  It's not on their radar.  They haven't been exposed to the importance of nervous system care. 

 

So, for my current practice members who don't feel they have enough energy to achieve their goals, I offer a deeper look at my Brain Budget Protocol. I present an organized way to approach health with chiropractic, mind-set and life style. 

1- Ask me about the Brain Budget Protocol

2- Take part in my Body Language Declassified Seminar

3- Learn how to incorporate MMNS into your life-style. 

I'm on the journey with you.
