Just 29 more days. . .
Taking the long view for our health and our community
Are you living for tomorrow?
Or more specifically, maybe you are living for 29 days from now?
Even if you haven’t counted, you probably have a sense of what I’m talking about. The presidential election.
29 days from now is the day the election will be over.
So many of us, now and/or at many other points in our life, have been surviving. Just getting by. Energy poor and with only enough in the tank to just barely (hopefully) make it to the next moment when maybe (hopefully) things might be better.
The consequences of this stress-based, disconnected state on our nervous systems on our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health can be disastrous, especially these days when we find nervous systems in these states more and more often.
Think about it. When you’re just trying to make it through and survive, do you eat more health foods, or less?
When you’re just trying to make it through, do you spend more quality time doing what’s important to you, or less?
And when you’re just trying to make it through, do you really have the capacity to put the perceptions, behaviors, and structures in place that will lead to a more sustainably better situation in the future?
There are times for all of us when even chiropractic– even receiving our weekly Network Spinal care at New Day– is only felt to be helping us make it to the next moment. When it’s our lifeline.
Our nervous systems get to respond to those adjustments with a deep breath and a realization that for this moment, we are safe.
Then there are other times, when just the act of prioritizing an adjustment for your spine and nervous system (set aside the actual effects of the care itself for a moment) brings us beyond the energy-poor imperative of just making it to another moment.
We can actually actually zoom out, beyond the helplessness, the ups and downs, and the stuckness, and actually see that this action is part of an overall trajectory of improvement.
How do we know? Because we DECIDE it is.
There might even be months, days, or moments when we zoom out so far beyond the trajectory of improvement, beyond the line graph we think we’ve been on, until we now see and feel the entirety. The 360 degrees and all the dimensions of our experience. And how it’s all perfect.
Just know that for this week, whether you find that you’re living for the next moment and counting down the days (Discover Level Network care), or DECIDING that you get to decide what you focus on and what you make it mean (Transform Level Network care), or you’re living and breathing in gratitude for the all that is and the 360 degree experience (Awaken Level Network Care), you are in the right place and we are here for you 🙂
And your nervous system has the inherent ability to be in all those programs (and every combination thereof).
We are so happy to be here for you, creating a place of possibility, community, energy, and aliveness, during this strange time we live in!
And we are looking forward to seeing you at your adjustments this week.
