Just Start / "Walk Slowly - But Never Backwards"
Just Start / "Walk Slowly - But Never Backwards"

Remember back in high school or college when you’d have to write a paper for an assignment? Even if it was just 500 words, starting the paper was always the hardest. I’m not alone in that feeling, right?
It’s interesting, because the same issue is often felt with any intimidating or daunting task we need or want to pursue in life.

But when it comes to ACTION, we generally falter after a few good college tries. This is the difference between motion and action.
Motions are strategizing, planning, and learning. And at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how much you do any of those things - they don’t produce results. Action on the other hand is what delivers an outcome.

Cold Plunge Benefits / Cryotherapy
Cold Plunge Benefits / Cryotherapy

By now I’m sure you’ve seen your favorite celebrity, an instagram influencer, and even your local gym utilizing a Cold Plunge. But what’s all the hype about? Is it legit? Or is it just a fad like the shake weight? (Was that even a fad?)

Although it’s trendy right now - the idea and use of cold water exposure is pretty old. All the proposed benefits have always been there but only recently are we seeing them being backed up by research. Back in the days of the Romans, the Greeks, and the Vikings of Scandinavian Culture they must have known that taking a dip in freezing cold water had it’s perks. Otherwise who the heck in their right mind would do it again right?

How to Create a New Habit / New Year's Resolutions
How to Create a New Habit / New Year's Resolutions

Good news is that you've only had 3 days to screw up writing down '2023' instead of '2024.'
That said, you've also had three days to already screw up your New Year's Resolutions. How's that a for a slap in the face eh?!
Want to eat better? Workout? Maybe combine the two to lose a few pounds?
Or maybe you want to read 24 books in 2024.
Or quit smoking/drinking/etc.
Or maybe you want to rekindle old relationships and foster better, new ones.

If previous failed attempts of Resolutions has given us anything to learn from we have to ask the big glaring question - how do we formulate a new habit?

Expectations of Pain / An utterly confusing relationship.
Expectations of Pain / An utterly confusing relationship.

As a Chiropractor, we work within the realm of helping individuals not only get out of pain but avoid it by increasing their performance capacity as well. It’s been through these experiences of helping people that I’ve been able to gain the importance of these values and lessons which are worth sharing and elaborating on.
As patients not only are you expected to do "exercises" you are also expected to allot time for walks in nature, meditate, journal, sleep 8-9 hours, eat 10 servings of vegetables - oh and still show up for work on time after getting kids ready for school...before picking them up and making sure their homework is done, they aren't getting too much screen time, dinner is something everyone can enjoy and that they actually shower before bed

SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH! / Nasal Breathing
SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH! / Nasal Breathing

While at rest (parasympathetic nervous system drive) we should be mostly nasal breathing. Merely by breathing through our nose, we stimulate more diaphragmatic inhales and exhales. Our Parasympathetic Nervous System is known as the ‘rest and digest’ system whereas our Sympathetic Nervous System is responsible for the ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ response.

Now, which one of those systems do you think we should be tapping into most throughout the day?
