The Chiropractic Authority Podcast

So like my gratitude, which is the first thing I do every single day, um, water, I'm always like super, super hydrated. Um, that's just one that I used to like, let slipped by. Like I would forget about it and I'd be like, Oh, look, why do I feel kind of like, like shit. And I have a headache and I'm tired and I have no energy, like all the time, but so water, it's just so important and it's easy to forget, um, movement. So like I move every single day, move my body every single day. So whether it's an intense workout or I jump on my spin bike or run, or just go for long walks and my dogs, like I move, I move a lot. Like, you know, I have my Apple watch that I, my move goal on and I'm, you know, I'm really competitive. So like I aim to over 10, 12,000 steps every day, um, meditation.Speaker 2: 23:23And, uh, I use the calm app, which I'm loving and, um, sorry for getting my other asleep. I go to bed at 9:00 PM, no matter what. Yeah. Sometimes like Friday or Saturday sometimes like, I'll stay up till 10, but even new year's Eve. Like I was in bed at 10 o'clock. Yeah. Nine 30 on new year's Eve. There's no point. Yeah. It's not like, you know, um, also like the last couple of years, I'm really, um, I kind of am someone that hates like new year's resolutions. Like I'm like, I'm not gonna wait for a specific day, which is I used to do it. So like, that's why, you know, it used to be like, Oh yeah, I'm going to start tomorrow or Monday or new year's Eve or whatever. Like I'm not, you know, so, and I don't drink, so a huge, huge deal for me anymore, but yeah.Speaker 2: 24:38Yeah. Before this whole thing, what does that look like? So before the pandemic, I went to work, so I would wake up at five and work out, drink water, or do gratitude. Wow. And then you usually walk my dogs and then go to work. I'm like eight o'clock. And again, like I gotcha. I spend most of my day with dogs, so that's pretty awesome. Uh, I would work all day, come home. Mmm. Usually walk my dogs again and then I would write and start doing the creative stuff. So like, I started a blog in October, which I love, like writing is such like an outlet for me and I love, um, be creative and, um, I love writing and I started a book actually in this quarantine that I've always yeah. Always wanted to write. So what's the book about, um, it's probably like a reflection, um, back on my story with like what I know now kind of like looking back and like going through. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm a like 25,000 words in. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, I feel like I'm at this point where I'm like, Oh, like, do I have any words to say? I definitely do. But, um, the beginning, like it just flew out and then, um, I'm having to get a lot more intentional. Yeah. Good for you. I started writing a book last summer. That's awesome. Wow. Yeah, I was writing it and then my laptop andSpeaker 3: 26:44I just happened to move everything from like my cloud, onto my laptop to like re arrange stuff. And it crashed like that night. So ever since then, I, I haven't like, Oh yeah, I lost, like, I had like 50 interviews that were, uh, on there and like, they're gone. Like, I didn't publish them. They're gone, but like, that's okay. It's okay. Like obviously, like I was whatever was on there. I was not supposed to do so, like I was pissed and frustrated and Mmm. Yeah. I was upset for a little bit, but um, like after, like I realized like, Oh, okay, well that happened for a reason.

I don't know how to explain it like, just because they do come from such broken homes, you know that like, I wish more people actually cared about you know, everyone's like complaining about like our future generation. I'm like, Well, are you doing anything to help? You know, like, Are you are you making sure the school system is actually providing, you know, things for these kids? Like, are you going out in the community and like cleaning up the neighborhoods? Are you going to talk to these kids? Are you mentoring them? You know, so like, to me, like, if you're not gonna, if you're gonna complain about something, then at least do something about it, you know? But like these kids really are like, they give hugs every day like, and they don't like any other teachers. So like, the fact that they like come up to me and like hug me and like, they're, they just want to be with me It got to a point where like, I literally had to tell the kids like, you guys have to go to your class like because I would, I would have probably like 15 kids and just try to skip all the other classes just so they can hang out in my class. And they weren't they didn't want to do anything. They just want to hang out my class weren't being loud. They weren't being rowdy. And I'm like, guys, like, y'all are gonna get me so much. Like, I can't do this, like, You're not even at lunchtime, the only break I had, like, I had had a group of girls like, you know, they were just having they're going through some drama and like a lot of stuff at home and, you know, I'm like, in my lunch and like, I just want a break. You know what I mean? But I'm like, but I'm like, you know what, like, just I'll suck it up. Just come up here, here, eat lunch, you know, be quiet, whatever. And they would, but like, to me that's fulfilling like that, that is more fulfilling than I mean anything I've done so I mean, that makes me happy and then I go home, go to bed. Jim hang out with my kid, you know? So like, I don't know, I'm just really simple. And I feel like giving is more important than like, going and doing something if that makes any sense, like my dream or whatever. I don't know, like, because I know I could do whatever I wanted, you know, I mean, I'm very capable. I know what I'm capable of. But like, That, to me is my happy. @meredithburnsss @robert_delude @eastcoasttags www.eastcoasttags.com Prmo: noneofyourbusiness

 So I kind of every year I pick I'm very I love personal development like I'm crushing hard on Trevor mode right now if you guys don't know who he is, he is the author of it takes what it takes. I'm plugging him because I know no affiliation or anything other than I think his stuff is amazing. And it really was super eye-opening some of the things that he talked about in his book. But I'm, I'm very much a big fan of personal development and uncovering some of the things that I would like to grow in my own personal life. And a lot of that has to revolve around leadership and coaching and, you know, just developing team and just the psychology and the neurology behind a lot of that stuff. So every year I pick one event to go to by myself, I go by myself, I don't bring friends or anything else. So about four or five years ago, I was living in Denver at the time. And I chose a friend of mine who introduced me to dr. John DeMartini. And he had one of his nightly seminars where you come and sit for like an hour, he does a little overview of what he talks about and things were just starting to like, pop for me. And I was like I wanted to go to this event. I want to see what the brand was. called the breakthrough experience and I loved it. And I met a few different amazing incredible mentors there and decided to get certified in what he calls determining your hierarchy values because as we were doing that smaller segment in the course that is the event seminar I went to that weekend I was like, wow, how long have not only myself but so many other people been on that hamster wheel banging their head against the wall and you know, I'll just for example, if it's a like a weight-loss person, how many different diets they've tried how many different things they've done to try and lose weight and the yo yo diet or they've tried lost gained or gained even more like the circus, right? So it just came down to truly understanding and taking the blinders off of the shooting that goes on in society like you should be this person you should do this or if you want to have like person XYZ you have to be like this or need to be like this and just the heaviness of that and Shifting this the language and the thoughts that you have. It just started to open up my mind. And I sat and went through the process and went through the course and the training and the certification. I'm like, wow, this was really eye-opening. And I wonder how many people would benefit from this. And so recently, since we can't do events, and we can't go to places and do all these things, I found a lot of success with creating small, small little mini-challenge groups. And I have one going on right now and some of my colleagues have done the same thing. And I have they've invited me to come in and talk about this. And watching on zoom. Human beings like you can see it in their physiology. Like they sit up a little straighter. They're leaning into listening a little bit more. Their eyes are opening, there's cracking smiles like things are starting to click for them. And it's just a perception and an understanding of Wow, I can really live an inspired life by paying attention to what lights me up personally, not what people think I should be doing or what I should be doing according to somebody else's values, right? So that's, that's where it all came about. And so for me, and it shifted recently, this has been an eye-opener for me my highest values have shifted. Originally they were fitness, wellness, nutrition was my number one, I show up like that. You see me like that on social media. I'm always doing a workout talking about workouts, nutrition, wellness. And number two for a while was business building and wealth creation. And then three was community. And I did a quick inventory.
