Believe and it will get done
The first step in changing your life is to believe your world can change. Reaching your goals can only start with a single unwavering belief that it will be done.
I love being a chiropractor. About two months ago a new patient stepped into my office looking for jaw pain relief. As I talked with her on her first visit, I asked what were some of her major health goals.
Was it running a 5K race or maybe a marathon? Was it playing with your kids or grandkids without any pain? Was it fitting into those jeans you used to wear in college?
But this patient just wanted to be healthier (and maybe lose some weight along the way). She knew she had let herself go a bit, but now decided that she wanted to start taking care of herself again. She said she BELIEVED she didn’t have to be her age and be unhealthy, like most of our society is.
Believe that nothing is too good to be true.
One of the most difficult but important things about getting healthy is believing you can do it. Believing your life can be exactly what you had dreamed off.
Watching the “Biggest Loser” (yeah, I’ve gotten hooked on that show too, haha), I’ve learned that most of the fight is in your head. When you WANT it, when you BELIEVE it can be done, it WILL GET DONE! Isn’t it amazing how much control we can have over our health?
My practice member previously mentioned found relief from her jaw pain a little more than a week after getting chiropractic care. She continued with my best recommendations of corrective care to make sure the body was functioning at 100 percent so she could meet her goals. Now I need to tell you this, a week ago I got a very excited phone call from her.
“I’m off of my blood pressure medications!’’
This patient started working out and eating properly. She started making sure her nervous system, which controls blood pressure, was working at 100 percent. But the first thing she did was BELIEVE her life could improve. It all starts with believing!
