You've tried many different things to feel better. You are healing from an injury and it seems to be taking too long this time. You have nagging little health issues that you tolerate, but they just don't go away.

Let's look at things a little differently.

1. You've tried many things to feel better.
Different view: Something else in your life repeatedly overpowers your attempts keeping you from feeling better.

2. You are healing from an injury and it seems to be taking longer this time.
Different view: More attention is needed now than what was adequate in the past.

3. Nagging health issues just aren't going away.
Different view: They are sticking around for a reason, because something else is sticking around.

Your Body Speaks to You in Interesting Ways
Often we are clueless because we just wish the answers were obvious. Why doesn't my body speak the language of me? Because it can only speak the language of cause and effect with a little nervous system thrown in.

Keep in mind the 3 causes of poor health.

1. Chemical stress
2. Mechanical stress
3. Emotional/Mental stress

Chemical
This includes deficiencies and intoxication. Nutritional deficiencies arise out of poor diet, relying on just food for nutrients, as well as medication effects. Intoxication is not just over- imbibing in caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. It also includes medications, illegal drugs, and the body's poor ability to detoxify on its own. Chemical stress doesn't allow us to heal properly.

Mechanical
Vulnerable mechanics is due to poor balance, under conditioned muscles, being overweight, lack of sleep, poor posture during activities, repetitive strain, and lack of "conditioning exercise".(I say conditioning exercise because people perform a great deal of exercise that is inefficient and ineffective out of habit.)

Emotional/Mental
Life issues change all the time. We have good days and we have bad days. They tire us out and weaken the immune system. If you have a "worry-trigger." It will get you more often than other issues that don't bother you. If you had an injury or illness look back at the last two weeks and see if a "worry trigger" popped up in your life.

Now re-evaluate your situation and your actions. Look at yourself as if you are watching a movie on TV. What things do you notice are getting in the way of your health? What things are you missing?

The Law of Distraction

Available Now: The Numbers Don't Lie Diet

********************************************
The Law of Attraction has gotten a lot of popular press lately thanks to Larry King and Oprah:

http://www.squidoo.com/the-secret-law-of-attraction/

The law of attraction sounds so simple: what you focus on will be your reality. It takes practice if we've been trained to live by limiting beliefs of some sort. Just being able to live in a crowded society with numerous regulations to protect us can stifle our natural curiosity and creativity. We have plenty of man-made laws. The law of attraction is a great reminder of the natural laws.

When we ignore the natural laws, we are swimming in the "law of distraction." How often do we get enveloped in the negativity around us? This negativity prevents us from experiencing true health, happiness and balance.

• The news reminds us of negativity every hour on the hour
• Peers and friends who want others to share in their misery
• Gossip
• Poor health as a result of expecting it as a part of life or a part of aging

The law of distraction pries us away from what we want to do that we know is good. Every negative conversation, TV or radio show, thought, etc. distracts us from our personal power.

Let your chiropractic experience be a postive influence in your life that allows you to seek out the positive everywhere you go.
