"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!" Wayne Dyer said this years ago, and it is more relevant today than ever. The goal isn't to change the world necessarily, but to change you, then change the one person in front of you, then the next person in front of you.

Newton's law: A body in motion tends to stay in motion, and a body at rest tends to stay at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. Chiropractic is that force! We add motion to the spine and nerve system, thereby helping that body that was at rest (with whatever ailment) become a body in motion (healthier). The key thing is that once the body is in motion (healthier), it tends to stay in motion! But you've got to keep up the things that got it in motion in the first place!

What is a chiropractic adjustment with that extra something? The extra something is embodying "The Big Idea." The adjustment is so much bigger than just moving some spinal bones around. Have you read Stephenson's 'The Chiropractic Textbook' or BJ's 'Chiropractic Clinical Controlled Research'? These are go-to's to learn more about with the Big Idea really means!

Survival values? Accumulative constructive and accumulative destructive survival values can be applied not only to good habits vs bad habits, but also to opposing universal forces (such as energy from the sun, a constructive force, and hurricane winds, a destructive force). Innate intelligence is the personal version of universal intelligence, and we must be careful what survival values we are focusing on... are we accumulating constructive or destructive survival values?

Supercharge your practice and your life by taking the choice points you are confronted with everyday and making the best possible selection. How do you do this? Listen as I discuss a recent case of a child with Autism and the many choice points that occurred during the first several visits. Then join me on Saturday November 14th for ICPA's 1st ever Advanced Elective on Zoom! 8 hours of high voltage, high energy, hands-on, experiential pediatric chiropractic, taken to a new level.

"Life Without Fear" is the title of a book by Dr. Fred Barge, one of my favorite classic chiropractic texts. Dr Barge was a contemporary of BJ Palmer, and told us that living a chiropractic life didn't make you impervious to pain or health issues, but made you strong in knowing that "the power that made the body can heal the body'". Our healing potential is astonishing and most of our patients have no idea what it is capable of. I am teaching an Advanced Elective for the ICPA for all those docs who have taken my first required ICPA class.

Are you watching your thoughts? What are you focused on? Are you thinking about what you want? Or are you using precious brain energy to think about what is wrong, what others want for you, or what has always been? None of those 3 will bring what you desire. Time to consciously train our own brains. If you become what you think about, then be careful what you think about!

Are you talking the 'tic?" As BJ Palmer says, the adjustment is a 'big thing' to a person, but an even more important thing is helping them 'get the big idea." A chiropractic adjustment produces great results, but a chiropractic adjustment surround by love and a focused explanation can change someone's paradigm forever. Make sure you are doing your 'Tic Talk' every day!

Planting seeds is what we do. Not every seed will grow, but the ones that do, produce glorious and potentially far-reaching results. Some seeds become a meal for the crows; some never grow at all; and some grow a bit and then wither away. But those that grow, wow can they produce! Did you plant lots of seeds today?

The concept of Neurodiversity is more important today than ever. Chiropractors don't fix problems...we maximize potential. Our goal isn't to fix a 'broken' kid or even a bad back. Our goal should be to help that person be the best person they can be, regardless of what brought them in to our offices.
