Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling strong, filled with energy and healthy, it is easier to look at things in a positive light? It seems like solutions are easier to find and you know that you have the resources to make things better.
On the other hand, when you are tired, sick or have low energy, some problems seem blown out of proportions. It is especially true nowadays since we seem to be surrounded by negativity and pessimism. We need to keep well and healthy to fight this tendency as much as we can.
We already know that exercising, eating properly and sleeping enough hours all help in creating more energy. Having enough energy generated in the body is important but what is essential is to have that energy circulating properly through the body. That is where your chiropractor can help you.
A simple analogy will help you understand: How much more difficult would it be to carry a bowling ball at a distance from your body instead of closer at your side? Your head weighs about as much as a bowling ball; if your head is off-centre, carrying it can exhaust you. Same thing can apply when we talk about a shorter leg and an unbalanced pelvis. That can translate into a considerable amount of wasted energy as the hours, days and weeks add up.
Energy flows over your brain and spinal cord through your nerves. A healthy spine and nervous system keep your flow of energy balanced. That true health allows us to adapt to the environment, cooling us when we are hot, fighting a virus, healing a cut, digesting our food and millions of other vital activities.
Unbalanced spine
You know that if you are feeling tired all the time, bored or depressed, that something is wrong. A common overlooked cause is an unhealthy, unbalanced spine that interferes with the natural flow of energy through your body. Some blockages and imbalances in your spine may be the cause of your physical and emotional fatigue.
Adjusting your spine heals the broken bridge between your physical body and your energy body, so that they may communicate better with one another and restore harmony to your body-mind. With time, you become more positive, more energetic and happier. I believe that we can all benefit from these improvements.
It is possible to be happier – to feel more satisfied, to be more engaged with life and probably even laugh and smile more. Develop an attitude of gratitude and stay conscious of all that’s good in your world. Embrace all of what life gives you. If you are fatigued, bored, tired, depressed or lacking enthusiasm, you should investigate the natural health approach of chiropractic.
