I was very familiar with this couple and would have said, "Hi," if they weren't trucking along at a steady pace. I've known this couple for more than twenty years.
When I was in chiropractic college, I worked part time at two agencies that served people with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness. I haven't been employed with these agencies since 2003 but I run into my previous clients all the time.
They're cheerful, talkative, and always delighted to see me. So, when I was still sitting in my car at Wegmans, I marveled at their energy. There they go. I realized, they have got to be in their 70s by now. They both retired from their jobs a few years back.
They were high tailing it down the street as if no one bothered to tell them they are in their 70s. They think nothing of it. I've never heard them complain about anything. They just appreciate every day.
They think nothing of it.
They don't have hyper-wired limbic systems. They are the calmest people I know. They aren't linked into the modern societal thoughts of peer pressure, impressing others, or even jealousy.
They think nothing of it.
They didn't hear the message to slow down, grumble, and sit in front of the TV. They might watch some TV, but they don't drive, so most of their time is spent outside. And they walk all over the place.
They think nothing of it.
Whatever subtle messages the rest of us have buzzing in our brains grinding us into an unhealthy state of function, they don't have it.
Remember my biggest message: brain first is body freedom, because brain first and the body follows. And while we tend to be preoccupied with pain, we must accept that pain is a pattern. It is much more healthy to change a pattern than stifle a pain with no acknowledgment of the useful purpose of the pain.
Chiropractic is a very profound tool we use to re-teach the brain.
If you were as devoted to your brain (via the spine) as much as my friends walked on a daily basis, what would your health be like?
