I am always
inspired at church but this past week, Pastor Mike Householder, said something
that really resonated with me spiritually, but also professionally as well. He
mentioned that you cannot stay still with your faith, you’re either growing
towards or you’re regressing. You can’t stay in the middle. The same can be
said for your health. If you are not doing things to help your health, then
unfortunately you’re moving towards sickness and disease. We’ve all heard and used the excuses; I don’t have time, eating healthy is too
expensive, I have kids, I don’t know what to do, etc. I’ve used those too in
the past but after being on both sides of the fence, being on the healthy side
is so much better.
Our country
is bombarded with ads and social pressures to worry about your symptoms. Here
is the harsh reality, waiting till you “feel” something and expecting someone
or something to make it better is wrong. You control your health, you are the
one who does the healing and another harsh reality is that it takes time. Pain
or symptoms are the last to show up, the first to go.
A great analogy I heard is symptoms are like
FIRE, it’s in your face and all over and it’s all you focus on and you’ll do
everything you can to get rid of it. You’ll eat well, get adjusted, stretch,
and take care of yourself. But, after the pain is gone people typically stop
doing all the healthy things that got them there, why? After the fire/symptoms
are gone, then you need to REBUILD the home/body. This has nothing to do with
symptoms. You need to make small and healthy changes on a continued basis to
repair and improve your health.
Like Pastor
Mike said, you need to grow daily with your spirituality, you need to grow
daily with your health as well. Here are a few tips that are easy and
effective; get adjusted- Your brain and spinal cord control EVERYTHING in your
body, eat clean/whole food, exercise, work on your mental stress- read, pray,
meditate, get massages, stay away from drugs.
In the next few articles, I’ll dive deeper into the specifics of things
YOU can do to be healthy. If you need help, ask us. Our goal and purpose is to
help you become healthy.
