Uncommon levels of disciple and persistence

July 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment · Edit This

Dr. Wendell forwarded me this quote today that was from the Patrick Leonci’s book “The 5 dysfunctions of a Team.”  It is such a good quote I had to share it with everyone!

“Success is not a matter of mastering subtle sophisticated theory, but rather embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence.”

The Power of Positive

Jump to Comments

Positive thinking can influence every aspect of your day.  The power of positive will influence your actions, your words and even your relationships.  If you don’t believe this try the opposite.  Try focusing on the negative.  Talk about what is going wrong in the world.  Point out all the flaws in your spouse  and reflect on all the you children have done wrong.  Sounds absurd doesn’t it?  The sad truth is that this how the majority go through a day.

Positive words have been shown to resonate at higher frequencies.  Studies have shown that words carry an energy.  See:

You have the power to speak things into action.  Not just a bunch of hype or weekend seminar mumbo jumbo.  True life giving words.  Think about it.  Besides what’s the alternative.

Your Time to Begin « Building a Better You

Your Time to Begin

July 22, 2010 · Leave a Comment · Edit This

A couple of days ago I wrote about taking action.  I read this daily motivator (www.greatday.com)today by Ralph Martson and thought I would share it with all of you as it relates to taking action.  I want to encourage you all to keep moving forward!

Your time to begin

+++++++++++++++++++

“The place to start is where you are. The way to start is by

doing what you can, with what you know, using what you have.

You may get it wrong at first. But if you wait until you’re

sure you can get it perfect, you’ll never get it done.

The best learning comes from doing. The way to get the

experience you seek is to get busy without hesitation.

The longer you wait to get started, the more powerful your

doubts will grow. Jump in right away, get going, and those

doubts won’t have a chance to take hold.

Time always moves forward whether you move forward or not.

Your most effective strategy is to make use of each moment

as soon as it arrives.

There’s no end to what you can accomplish if you’ll just go

ahead and get going. Now is what you have, so make now your

time to begin.” -Ralph Marston

Take Action

“Vision without action is a daydream…”   Japanese Proverb

All of us have sat around with our friends, spouse, and/or family telling them of all the things we are going to do only to watch days, weeks, months, and years pass without any action.  What is it that keeps us from taking action?  Are we scared?  Are we lazy?  Have you ever thought about what the consequences are of not taking action?  In life we are either treading water, sinking, or swimming forward.  Which one are you doing?  I encourage you today to review your goals for 2010 and start to take action.  You do not have to be perfect; you just need to make progress!  If you have not written your goals, affirmations, or have a stated purpose start today.  As a guide use the book  ”Building a Better You”.   It was designed for this purpose.   Contact me and I’ll send you a copy at no cost.    Everyday is a new opportunity to start building a better you!

Be, Do, Have.

Be, Do, Have.

I think the Be-Do-Have principle is so important to embrace.  I think the following I found at http://www.squidoo.com/BE_DO_HAVE_Principle is a simplistic and concise explanation.  Enjoy!

BE-DO-HAVE

The Principle To Success

By being the person you really want to be right now, whether you have everything in place to reach your goals, or not, you will bring about the life you want sooner than later.

If it’s financial freedom and happiness you are aiming for, then start being the person who is financially free and happy.

Imagine that you are already financially free and start being that person. Walk like a person who is financially free. Make the choices that a person who is financially free will make. Do the things that a financially free person will do. Live like a financially free person will live. Feel like you are financially free!

Also, imagine you are completely happy. Start being the person who is completely happy. Choose to live your life being happy. Embrace the personalities of your children and be happy they are part of your life. Experience things that will make you happy. Do what happy people do…Feel Happy!

Ever Feel Disconnected? « Dr. Wendell's Blog

Ever Feel Disconnected?

Jump to Comments

Ever feel like you’re not resonating well?  Constant struggles.  Little things happening all the time.  The flat tire, the headache, the strife in a relationship, the sinus infection, the fender bender bender in the parking lot.  You can create your list I’m sure.  Too many time though human nature is to shrug it off to a bad day, to the stars being misaligned or what about the full moon?  Most never take it any further and never question these little barrage of mishaps.

What if these little mishaps were symptoms?  A symptom or a warning sign calling out to let you know something underlying is not connected or not connected well.  I contend that this may be the case yet due to lifestyles that are created to meet the hectic demands of today’s society we often ignore or actively numb these symptoms only to become more disconnected physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Let me show you a common example.  A headache is a symptom of underlying problem.  It could be physical like tension, chemical from foods we eat (like MSG, caffeine, sugar) or emotional (like stress, relationships issues, finances, etc).  So unless an underlying change is made as to the cause, the headache will re-occur.

What if the oil light on your car were to come on.  It’s a danger sign that your car is vitally low on oil probably because it is leaking out somewhere.  Now you could just keep pouring oil into the engine but that would ignoring the root problem and many mechanics would say you are disconnected or truly don’t understand how a car works.

A disconnect can happen physically, emotionally and spiritually as well and these symptoms that are shrugged off to a bad day, too often ignored or numbed, are signs that there is a root problem.  We tend to dampen symptoms with a plethora of numbing agents.  From alcohol and drugs to television.  Some turn to pornography or sexual affairs. Some may use excessive spending or food consumption as if it were our last meal.  We use different ways to numb our symptoms.  As simple as Excedrin for a headache we consume our daily dose of whatever it takes to numb the symptoms life has so graciously handed us walking through life as if we were on novocain attempting to ignore a true connection in life.

So with this said I contend that it might be more than a bad day.  Each time you experience symptoms it’s an unbelievable opportunity to take a look at how well you are connected to life.  An opportunity if you take it.

How well are you connected physically?  Do you eat well, exercise, drink water and get adjusted regularly?  Do you listen to your symptoms and make changes?

How well connected emotionally are you?  Do you express your feeling often or do you let things build up into anger and frustration?

How well connected spiritually are you?  Do you connect daily with God.  Do you spend time asking purposeful questions?

Try listening to life.  Look for a cause of the symptoms you see around you.  As you engage you might just find that the bad days become fewer and fewer.  The little mishaps, well, seem little and life seems a bit more connected.

On Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Practiced for 3,000 years in asia.

As an ideal adjunct to chiropractic care, we use acupuncture when we see health problems that seem caused by disruption to energy pathways in your body called meridians. This centuries-old healing procedure focuses on the integrity of bodily systems, not specific conditions.

What About the Needles?

The most common question we get is about the needles we use. Most people have encountered hypodermic needles and sewing needles. Both types are gigantic compared to the ones we use. In fact, five of our needles could easily fit inside a hypodermic needle!

Feels Great

When we first insert these ultra-fine, sterile needles at special energy points on your body, most people report a small prick, like a mosquito bite. When there is discomfort it is usually created by vivid imaginations, not our needles!

How Does it Work?

No one knows for sure. We just know it does. Perhaps the best way to think about acupuncture is to imagine rivers of energy throughout your body, organized by meridians. These meridians can experience a “log jam” and energy flow is restricted. The needles help loosen the logjam and allow energy to circulate properly.

Acupuncture visits can take up to 15-20 minutes. Most people experience a variety of post-session feelings, which range from energized to a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression

spinal decompression

Gently drawing apart each joint like an accordion allows the spine to reset, and the pumping action enhances soft tissue nutrition and rehabilitation.

Each of us is constantly in a battle—with gravity! A frequent casualty is the soft disc material that separates each spinal bone. Pressure from our weight, trauma from an accident and other causes can increase the pressure on a weakened disc. In extreme cases, the soft pulpy center of the disc can escape. That can be quite painful.

We use the latest technology to help relieve the effects of pain due to herniated and degenerated discs. Since discs are constantly under weight-bearing pressure, they can be slow to heal. By gently “stretching” your spine, we help relieve pressure and enhance healing. This is called disc decompression.

First, we’ll have you lie down on our specially-equipped table. Then, ever so slowly, we’ll stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Our practice members tell us this tractioning process is quite pleasant, even relaxing. Because they don’t feel the need to “guard” their spine, each sequence helps the damaged disc receive nourishment, expel cellular waste and enjoy reduced pressure. Then, healing can begin.

While not a cure-all, our decompression table is highly effective, especially when combined with chiropractic care and physical therapy. Our experience shows that decompression can be helpful in supporting cases prone to frequent relapses. Do you know someone we could help overcome the effects of gravity?
