One of the most difficult things to do in life is to know the correct answer or correct path and actually follow through with it in your actions. To often it is easy to fall into the trap of eating poorly, staying up to late and not getting enough rest, placing other projects ahead of getting your exercise or allowing stress to take over your mind. We all seem to know the answers to these problems, yet actually doing what is necessary to remedy these troubles is often very difficult. One thing that I have been using lately is an affirmation to help keep me living a lifestyle that will promote and maintain a healthy body. When ever I am tempted to deviate from what my body needs in order to express health I tell myself, "I am ecstatic about living congruently!" Although this may sound lame or contrived I would argue that it has been very effective so how it sounds does not matter much. An affirmation, especially one that begins with "I am" is interpreted by your brain as a command for your body to carry out. This makes a simple statement extremely powerful. To find out more information on affirmations please attend our workshop on stress management at A+ Family Chiropractic in Poway, CA or go to http://www.powaywellness.com/ to find out more.
