“Live Life. Love Life.”   There it was on the free blankets and water bottles. 

Blanket from Promotion Event

Last Thursday night as we left the AuNaturalAlice concert with Five for Fighting and Safety Suit a building complex in the midst of their grand opening launch had two women handing out the blankets and bottles.

“Live Life. Love Life” sounds like a chiropractic office slogan.

It’s the wellness message that there is more to life than just getting by without pain.

I use to have a poster hanging in my office with the World Health Organization definition of health.

“Health is not only the absence of infirmity and disease but also a state of physical, mental and social well-being.” World Health Organization

Why is the wellness message so popular today? 

It’s because at our core nature all of us want to experience life to it’s fullest. We want to experience more energy, more purpose, more happiness, more love, more etc… Companies are branding their products so we as consumers feel like a piece of clothing or health drink will help us acheive this goal.

Check out this receipt from the American Eagle store.

There is the wellness message again  ”Live Your Life”

Or this magazine ad for Vail, CO.

Magazine ad for Vail, CO

While a new hat or a trip to Vail may make you feel good, I’ve found the following to be the fundamentals neccassary for a rich life.

1.  A sense of purpose

2. A healthy, flexible spine

3. Friends and family

4. Connection to something greater than yourself

5. A respect and interest in your own well-being

When you have these fundamentals the working out, eating well, being involved, etc… are all part of who you are instead of something you think you must do.  It’s subtle wording, but a profound difference.

Thanks for stopping by. May you continue to live the wellness message in your own life.

As my Dad and I were wrapping-up the painting and staining at my new office…I had a realization. 

For about a year I have been flipping through about 120 pictures on my PDA. Pictures of my life vision…including pictures of personal, family, relationship, spiritual, and business goals. Among the pictures was this picture of an office.

I titled the picture “modern classy office”

As the carpet was laid and we moved in the furniture I realized that my thought had become a reality. (In fact, my new office was even better than the picture.) The interesting thing is that I didn’t consciously try to make the vision come true. In fact, I resisted it for about a year…but due to the pending sale of my old office I was forced to begin a search for a new place. It was also this pending sale that prompted me to purchase rather than rent…which was another one of the 120 pictures.

Here is a picture from my new space:

It just goes to show that thoughts are things. Whatever you and I hold in our minds will manifest in one form or another.

Wow! It’s been a busy past couple of months.  One of the exciting things going on in my world is the move to a new office.

This past October … about the time of my last blog entry : ) … I began looking for a new place in Evergreen, CO. Before long I had an office under contract, closed, and then did double duty to remodel it prior to moving in January 1st.  Check out these before and after pictures.  (Click to enlarge)

Special thanks to my Dad! He came out November 28th and returned January 8th. Without his help I’d still be removing wallpaper. Also I want to thank Bill Downes of Evergreen Commercial Re-estate. He made a rocky process go by smooth.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Gahndi

You want it, right? Whether it’s peace of mind, peace on earth, or peace and quiet…no matter how you package it…peace is popular.

So where should you start?

Peace begins with your self. If you want change…be change.

Sure it’s easier said than done. We live in a fast paced world. One with instant messages, instant meals, and instant coffee, but still it’s possible to change. The quickest way to shift from overload to peace is by altering the body.

No, I don’t mean a new belly button ring or tattoo. Instead, shift your body from “fight or flight” into a state of “rest and recovery”.

Here’s how it works. Your body triggers the same alert messages whether you are being chased by a bear, or are worried about your mortgage.

Your heart races. Your breathing becomes shallow. Your digestive system shuts down. Your five senses are focused on survival. These responses are great for escaping from a bear, but they are poor strategies for dealing with long term stresses like mortgages, world affairs, and relationship issues. Instead of running from the bear and then recovering, your body continues to stay in a heightened state until you burn out. This is one of the reasons exercise is so valuable for peace of mind. When you go for a walk, swim or mountain bike your body is getting a chance to physically release from the fight or flight state it is in.

Another secret is to take deep breaths. I’m sure you’ve heard that before, but do you know why?

Your breathing rate is controlled by your autonomic nervous system. When you are in a state of survival your breathing becomes shallow and quickens. However, unlike you heart rate and digestive rate you also have the ability to control your breathing. When you consciously take slow deep breaths you instantly shift your nervous system and body from a survival state into a peaceful one.

A third technique you can use to instantly create peace is to stand up straight and let your shoulders relax down and back. When you are stressed your shoulders tend to raise-up by your ears as your head tips forward. This is the same stance a boxer takes as he prepares to fight.

Simply squeezing your shoulders up and then letting them fall down and back will take you out of the fighter’s stance and put you into a relaxed, upright posture.

I’ll be the first to admit that these three exercises are very simple, yet each one works on the nervous system in a different way. Put them to use and you’ll experience that the simplest things in life are often the most powerful…just like peace itself.

“Your body, mind and spirit are reflected in your posture.”
Joseph Sweere D.C., author of Golden Rules for Vibrant Health

Okay, you’ve probably heard the expression, “He’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders,” or “She gets all bent out of shape.”

It’s interesting how we use words like crooked, deranged and demented to describe unhealthy individuals, and at the same time we use words like poised, balanced and centered to describe wholesome, healthy people.

Have you ever stopped and wondered why?

The answer may surprise you. It’s because your posture is a reflection of your health. For example, if you are stressed or depressed you typically walk with your shoulders rounded and your head hanging low. On the other hand, if you feel great you walk with your body very upright and erect.

This is where it gets interesting. You can improve your health by improving your posture. As Joseph Sweere, a professor at Northwestern Health Science University, told me in an interview, “Posture can and does have an influence on the function of the nervous system, and your nervous system influences every tissue in your body.”

Simply put, if you carry yourself as if you’ve been beat up by life then your nervous system and tissues respond by going into a state of fight-or-flight. This survival response is a good short term strategy, but long term leads to heart disease, digestive disorders, insomnia, fatigue and a lowered resistance to disease.

The good news is that as you change your posture you change your health. Just try it. Next time you are tired or depressed try straightening up, taking a few deep breaths and you’ll likely notice the fatigue diminishing. It’s hard to be fatigued when you carry yourself upright.

So how can you start making improvements in your daily posture? Start with these three posture tips:

Adjust the rear view mirrors in your car so that you have to sit upright in order to use them properly.

Place items you commonly use in the kitchen (or popular clothes in your closet) in draws and shelves that don’t require you to constantly slouch down to get them.

Avoid working on a laptop computer for long periods. If you do use one, place the computer on a platform (even a stack of telephone books) to raise the monitor to eye level and then use an external keyboard and mouse.

These tips are great starters for improving your posture. Good luck on your journey to a more upright you in 2007.
