Staying Focused and Clear.
By Dr. Scott Timpanelli

Do you ever get into a rut sometimes? You know the feeling. You have a ton of stuff to do like personal errands, projects around the house or yard, planning a trip, the kids’ ballgames, etc. - and you’ve got to be at work by 5 for your evening shift. Added to that, you also have a small business that you are working on growing. Life moves quickly sometimes, and that is why it is so important to be clear and focused in our daily lives to get things done.

The following is a quick check list that I’ve compiled over the years;
· Spend a few hours once a week (preferably Sunday) and write down everything that is on your mind – even the minute details.
· Spend a few hours once a month to list the things you want to accomplish that month and prioritize them. Then, plan your weeks and days.
· TAKE ACTION and get things done ONE at a time.
· Exercise daily – 5 minutes is better than 0 minutes.
· Improve your nutrition. Brain chemistry and your ability to focus and stay clear depend upon good nutrition.
· Relax. Join a yoga class, learn to meditate, start a martial art, start basket weaving (something to take your mind away from everyday ‘stuff’).

One more thing – take care of your spine. Most people think that CHIROPRACTIC is about bad backs and stiff necks. Furthermore, I know that most people go to chiropractors for these reasons and millions of people have incredible results using chiropractors for aches and pains.

BUT, there is more to it! Your ability to stay clear and focus also depends upon a healthy functioning NERVE SYSTEM. Your nerve system coordinates thousands of bodily functions at the same time! Getting a chiropractic adjustment will not only remove stress from your neck and back but will also increase clarity and focus. Regular chiropractic adjustments INCREASE your nerve power by removing nerve pressure caused by spinal misalignments (subluxations).

As you can see, chiropractic can do a lot for you and your family. It can open up another world for your health, and most importantly, it can add to your LIFE. A well adjusted life starts with a well adjusted body.
What kind of body will you have next year?

Contrary to popular belief, our physical body is never older than seven (7) years! This is because the body recreates itself constantly. Cells die and are replaced by new ones. Every second we lose around three and a half million blood cells. No need to worry though, for another three and a half million are born to replace the old one. Ninety - eight percent of the atoms present in our body today will be gone within one year and replaced by new ones.

There is a different life expectancy for every type of tissue cell depending on its function and location in the body. Skin cells live for seven days, heart cells live for ninety days, and bone cells (osteocytes) have a thirty -six month life span. Life energy, the creative force, is constantly at work recreating our tissues and organs. Life energy or "human electricity" travels via the nerve system to reach every single tissue cell in the body.

When nerves are compressed or irritated (vertebral subluxation), there is a loss of life. Abnormal function results and the reproduction cycle of cells is altered. We either have a slower rate of reproduction which can lead to degeneration or a faster rate of reproduction which can lead to abnormal growth. Basically , cell balance is shifted when we have subluxations.

The question we must all ask ourselves is, what kind of body are we going to have next year? Is it going to be a healthier one or a sicker one? Is it going to replace itself efficiently or less efficiently? If already in a state of degeneration or decay, is it going to keep going downhill or is it going to rebuild itself? If a state of dys-function exists, are we going to give our body the potential to heal itself, or are we going to allow it to express more dysfunction?

Chiropractic is special in that it utilizes the adjusting of vertebral (spinal) subluxations or spinal misalignments that interfere with the life force expression. The result is a body that has the potential to reproduce itself normally and function at its maximum potential.

Healing is creation, and the creative spark is Life. Consistent chiropractic adjustments release Life Force by keeping the Life channels open and free of subluxation. In time the body can recover and express better health.

In seven years we will have a brand new body, but what kind is it going to be?
