Adapting to Change: Body and Mind
By Scott Sebastian, D.C.

Do you notice the hum in the air? Maybe you can’t really hear it, but can you feel it? Can you feel the vibration? The “vibrations” around us are not mysterious: they are the result of life in motion. The only thing that is a constant in life is change. Change occurs faster and faster, and sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by the pace.

In spite of the rate of change in many areas of the human experience, some things never change. For example, we all want to succeed. We don’t frequently change our life goals of health, financial security or happiness, because none of us would choose to be sick, poor or sad. We know that motivation and persistence are the key factors of success, no matter what our goals are. We strive to become healthy and remain healthy. Frequently, however,  our habits reveal that we have slipped into motivational patterns that hurt us rather than help us.

What motivates us to seek the help of health professionals? Health or sickness? Unfortunately many of us would have to answer that we look for help only after we become sick. When we are motivated by sickness, we seek help only when we already are experiencing symptoms or health issues. In this circumstance, we are not really in control of the quality of our health because we are taking a reactive rather than proactive approach to healthcare. When we take a reactive approach we rely on pills to mask symptoms. While this approach may make us feel better temporarily, it never really helps us achieve and maintain health. Reactive healthcare leaves us battling symptoms most of our lives. Rather than live on the symptom see-saw, we need to act on a plan designed to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Corrective chiropractic care is a great way to achieve this goal. Chiropractic care is a health care approach based upon the body’s natural ability to heal itself and is a very important step in a commitment to optimal health. Optimal health is one of our most valuable possessions. We should value ourselves enough to strive for the highest level of health. When we take responsibility for the choices we make regarding health, we give ourselves the best opportunity to achieve all of our health goals. Chiropractic care can help give us the natural health we deserve when we commit to learning more about our body and take all of the necessary steps to stay well.
