Author Jocko Willink has a famous phrase:

“Good.”

The hardened Navy SEAL instructor and leadership professional uses a tough message when people have problems. Even in his children’s books.

Having trouble at school? “Good.”

One of the most challenging things in your body when you are feeling it struggle – are the emotions attached.

One of those feelings is the feeling of being STUCK.

Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. The same day, over and over again.

One of the hottest topics for readers today is the idea of finding your purpose.

Purpose being some idea or mission that you feel compelled to pursue, with passion and constant unending desire. It’s often described as a never-ending inner fire to pursue and accomplish something.

What’s missing from one of chiropractic’s most famous charts?

Many chiropractors have a great chart, that shows a graph of “health” over time. And it depicts two lines, of two different possibilities. One being a steadily ascending line going upwards as the chart progresses to the right (albeit, with ups and downs on the way up).

BJ Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, said “The power that made the body heals the body.”

Chiropractors often phrase this “there is a power in your body that is responsible for the healing inside you.” Perhaps that is wrong. Perhaps there isn’t a power inside you.

The healing process involves a lot of steps. Making calls, setting appointments, getting help. You can probably remember yourself at that point or can think of a friend or loved one facing it now. Next, there is finding out what is the problem (and what caused it), and what you need to change to get better.

Growing up, most adults today took many a tip from the most peaceful man in show business, Mr. Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers was famous for his kind and gentle mannerisms, his soft voice, and even more so his mild-mannered attire. What better person to be the Maitre d’ of story time for young ones for generations – 31 years of television, to be precise.

Pregnancy is a very real physical change and demand. Not to mention the many aspects of delivery. “I’ve heard chiropractic care can help me be more active through my pregnancy,” is a common call on the office line. “And feel less miserable.” (If they are being honest).

Taking a very close look at the body, will reveal a constant habit that is wise to emulate in your life. That habit is the constant rejuvenation and repair that occurs inside of your body at nearly all times. In today’s ‘more is better, faster is greater’ society, so many of us live at a frantic pace that makes time for real restoration hard to come by.

We hold tremendously beneficial wisdom inside every one of us. When we stop a moment to recognize it, it can shift our perspective in powerful ways. Inside of our body, as well as in life, most of our most precious and valued possessions are fragile. An obvious example is when our children are first born, the newborn baby is both adored by all and extremely vulnerable.
