March 23, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

Taking responsibility for your health and lifestyle choices is vital to you and your family’s well-being. We love seeing our patients and practice members getting younger and healthier every year as they commit themselves to Chiropractic Lifestyle Care and healthier lifestyle choices. Learn to love the things that are good for you and make them a priority.

Get Excited About the Financial Opportunity of Your 100 Year Lifestyle

Look around and begin to take notice of the resources and experiences you have accumulated and how you can capitalize on them now to create capital for your future.

The Personal Affirmation Creator we refer to is a great exercise to elevate your personal consciousness, find yourself, reinvent yourself and declare your next big thing.

Are you ready to attract more of what you want in your life, work, relationships, and finances? Are you ready to eliminate the struggles?

This is a great exercise in self-awareness and connecting with your personal truths, values, and talents, and deciding how you will choose to be from this day forward.

Listen to our 100YL Podcast, Episode 18, The Personal Affirmation Creator. The Personal Affirmation Creator is a great exercise to elevate your personal consciousness, find yourself, reinvent yourself and declare your next big thing.

You will want to listen to this one a couple of times as there are different stages in this exercise. If you know that you are capable of more, the Personal Affirmation Creator will help you make it happen and bring the best version of yourself to light.

Start Investing in Yourself

Stop wasting money now. If you have not yet implemented these basics, do not procrastinate another second. The more you invest in yourself, the more freedom and choices you will have.

At some stage in your life, you really want to be able to wake up and say, “I want to,” rather than, “I have to”—the creativity that comes out of that is exciting.

But here is the idea that I really want to get across: It is never too late to start! If you begin thinking this way now, you will attract more abundance right away, regardless of your current age.

Fill in your 100 Year Balance Sheet Based On How It Looks Today

Decide how you want it to look in ten years, and list the five immediate action steps that you know you need to take to reach your goals.

Your balance sheet represents a snapshot of your financial position and the income streams you will have for the future. What do you want yours to look like during the different stages of life as you age?

They are not a substitute for your financial planner, accountant, or bookkeeper. In fact, they will make your meetings with your financial team more productive as you gain clarity and commit to the changes necessary to reach your goals. Read more on our article, Your 100 Year Balance Sheet.

Meet with Your Financial Adviser, Accountant, Estate Planner, and Insurance Agent

Review your financial plan and income opportunities, then make the appropriate changes that will help you secure and finance your 100 Year Lifestyle.

Prioritize Your Own Self-Care and Health Care and Invest in Them

Having the money is not nearly as much fun if you don’t have the health to enjoy it. Your minutes are your currency.

They belong to you, and how you spend them will determine the quality of your life going forward. Every minute you spend represents a choice—whether you made it with full awareness or not.

Take charge of your minutes. Read more on our article, Time as Currency.

Check Your Credit Score and Credit Report

Take the appropriate action steps to clean up any errors. Also, if you have credit card debt at an interest rate that was determined years ago or obtained when you may have had a lower credit score than you do now, you may be able to lower that interest rate.

Just call up the credit card company and let them know that you are looking to lower your interest rate. Read more about credit tips in our article, Credit Tips to Increase Cash Flow.

Be a Giver

Think about the purpose you would like to give your money so that a portion of your finances makes a difference in the world. Take an action step and make your next contribution today.

We love seeing our patients and practice members getting younger and healthier every year as they commit themselves to Chiropractic Lifestyle Care and healthier lifestyle choices.

Trust your Innate Intelligence

As you begin to turn things around with your choices, your body and mind will strengthen. You will feel yourself getting sharper and younger in mind and body.

If there is no interference, it will keep you functioning at your highest level for a lifetime. Read more about innate intelligence on our 100YL article, Artificial Intelligence VS Innate Intelligence.

Let Go of Trying to Control the Things That Are Out of Your Control

Focus on the things that you truly can change. Through this acceptance and letting process, you will begin to formulate a transition strategy that will help you transform your environment. Trying to control all the things that are out of your control is like trying to control gravity. Accepting the things that are out of your control and facing the reality of them will open the door to exciting opportunities. This simple connection can be life-changing; because now, instead of us getting angry when things do not go our way, we can step back and enjoy them. Read more about letting go of things you cannot control in our article; We Can’t Control Gravity.

Choose Your Own Hierarchy

If your Health Care Hierarchy has been crisis motivated and you have been on a crisis roller coaster, choose to make self-care a priority, and get yourself on track. Decide which self-care strategies are the most appealing to you and begin to make them a part of your lifestyle, one day at a time and one choice at a time.

Examples of Health Care & Self-Care: Health Care – What you do for yourself to keep your mind, body, and spirit healthy and functioning at your highest level – utilizing the skills of trained health care professional. Self-care would be brushing and flossing your teeth.

Health Care is seeing a dentist. Self-Care is having good posture. Health Care is having a chiropractor examine and adjust your spine and nervous system. Health Care is having a chiropractor examine and adjust your spine and nervous system.

A Truly Sustainable Health Care Solution

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Is Your Health Care Philosophy Sustainable?
When you think of “Health Care” what is the first image that pops into your mind? Do you envision hospitals, prescriptions, expensive surgeries, or a sick person? This is often what people have been conditioned to think about because the current health care delivery system is actually a Sick Care system in disguise. Fortunately, heart disease, diabetes and even many forms of cancer are preventable “lifestyle” diseases.

Lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor eating habits, sedentary living, and allowing stress to build all affect your body negatively and can cause you or a loved one to suffer from a disease that could have been prevented.

Suffering or sickness can be reasons to make lifestyle changes, and pain can certainly get your attention fast. However, avoiding sickness and pain altogether is a much more desirable option. When you make good choices and invest in your health you are more likely to thrive over the course of your lifetime. This is a truly sustainable health care solution for you and your family, and for our society as a whole.

The Health Care Hierarchy
The Health Care Hierarchy of The 100 Year Lifestyle is Self Care, Health Care, and Crisis Care, in that order. They will help you set your priorities regardless of your current health condition or age and get you on a sustainable path.

Self Care
Self Care is what you must do for yourself to keep your mind, body and spirit healthy and functioning at your highest level. Nobody can sleep, sit up straight or exercise for you.

Health Care
Health Care is what you need to do to stay healthy that you cannot do for yourself. Chiropractors, Dentists, and Nutritionists are some of the professionally trained experts that can help you stay healthy beyond your Self Care.

Crisis Care
Crisis Care is meant to help you recover from a serious injury or illness which requires the support of the appropriate crisis care specialists.

With the right Self Care and Health Care team you may be able to avoid the need for Crisis Care completely.

Who is Responsible?
Who is responsible for your health? Is it your doctor, government, or your insurance carrier? Keep in mind that our current health care system’s main focus is on Crisis Care only, sometimes leading to severe side effects and long term damage. Dramatic and expensive rescue measures as a way of life add to your stress and can make health challenges worse for you and your loved ones.

This even includes prescription drugs. The “quick fix” of over-the-counter or prescription drugs can make you feel different because they change your body chemistry but they can give you a false sense of security that everything is fine when it really is not.

Lifestyle Care
Chiropractic Lifestyle Care aligns your spine and nervous system to optimize your body’s functions. Your spine and nervous system are the means by which your brain communicates with your vital organs, muscles, ligaments, and cells. When there is interference to this communication system, the messages are interrupted. Your body may experience immediate symptoms or it may take a while to feel like something is wrong or not functioning like it used it.

Keeping your spine and nervous system aligned and balanced before a crisis can improve your body’s natural immunity and ability to reach a higher level of vitality, energy and health. If you are already in crisis, chiropractic care can remove the interference, get the pressure off the nerve and may promote a faster recovery without having to resort to more invasive options.

Begin making better lifestyle choices today for yourself and for your family. Make Self Care and Health Care your top priority.

The Interference Principle

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Germ Theory Flawed

Much of our health care system has been based on the Germ Theory, which simply speaking says that germs cause disease and if we kill the bad germs we will get healthy. We now know that this theory is flawed. Our attempt to wipe out “bugs” has created an assault on our immune systems, leads to a minimum of 10,000 deaths per year, according to The Telegraph, and has created a generation of dangerous “Superbugs” that threaten the well-being of society.

The Interference Principle

The Interference Principle brings a different and realistic perspective to health, sickness and dis-ease and affirms that everyone deserves to be healthy and express their full potential from the time they are born through their last breath of life. This includes you!

Understanding The Interference Principle will help you maximize your ability to heal from injuries and health problems, and achieve optimum health and peak performance levels. The Interference Principle is comprised of the following scientific and philosophical premises that should be applied to your health care and lifestyle.

1. Innate Intelligence

You have, within you, an Innate Intelligence. Present from the moment you were conceived, this intelligence grew you from 1 cell into over 80 quadrillion cells that were organized and specialized to keep you healthy and functioning at your highest level throughout your lifetime. This Innate Intelligence guides the processes in your body that turn food into cells, eliminate waste products, coordinate muscle contraction and communicate with or without your conscious thought to every cell, tissue and organ of your body via your nervous system. As long as there is no interference to this system, you have the capability to heal, feel great, be healthy and function well for a lifetime. Nurture this Intelligence for the development of your human potential and you will set personal records in all areas of your life.

2. Interference

Unfortunately, there can be interference to the communication and expression of this intelligence within your body. This interference causes dis-ease, weakness, and imbalances within your nervous system that can cause all types of immediate health problems. Or, this interference can lie dormant and asymptomatic for decades, leading to severe health conditions, chronic pain, deterioration and disease down the road.

Nerve Interference in the spine is called a vertebral subluxation. Lifestyle Interference is a result of poor health habits such as overeating, poor nutrition, excessive drinking, taking prescription or non-prescription drugs, or sitting too much. Environmental Interference is caused by toxicity from air, food, water, or chemicals, as well as accidents or natural disasters. All three types of interference can cause pressure in your spine and nervous system and affect your health on every level.

3. Adjustments to Remove Interference

Adjustments to remove interference from your spine, nervous system and lifestyle can improve your health and quality of life dramatically. A chiropractic examination can determine if you, or your loved ones, have interference in your spine and nervous system – whether symptoms are present or not. Keeping your body free from interference as a part of your lifestyle can help it heal quickly, stabilize, regenerate and achieve optimum health and peak performance levels for a lifetime.
