Who decided what your life should look like?

Was it your parents?
Your school?
Your religion?
The media?

Most of us are living by beliefs we never chose.
They were handed to us, installed quietly while we were young.

What is your belief system around 'health'?
How long have you held that belief system?
Who passed it along to you?

What new belief would feel more true, more freeing, and more 'you'?

Maybe take some time to journal these thoughts and see what is revealed to you...

The practice of meditation has been around for thousands of years, but we’re only beginning to unravel the science behind how this seemingly simple mental exercise can bring about significant changes in both our bodies and minds. Just like physical exercise, the more often you work out, the more benefits you’ll see and the longer they will last.
So many of us are walking around in 'fight or flight'...we need a practice that will help us regain a state of safety in our nervous systems.

You have a deep intelligence within you.
(and you don't need to sit like cross legged on the floor to access it)

Let's get quiet enough to hear it.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Today’s Practice — The Intuition Activator (3 Minutes)
Try this right after reading:

Sit comfortably.

Place one hand over your heart.

Close your eyes.

Breathe in slowly for 4 seconds… then exhale. Repeat 3 times.

Then ask yourself (inwardly):

“What do I need to hear today?”

Wait. Observe. Feel.

Whatever arises — even silence — is okay.
Just by asking, you’ve activated the inner voice.
It will get louder every time you return.

Thanks to Mindvalley.com for articulating this wisdom so we can share it with you.

"I never gave chiropractic care much thought. Why would I? As a young athlete, I stayed in pretty good shape, enjoyed relatively good health, and never thought much farther ahead than next season. Most of my experience in health care was visiting emergency rooms for stitches and sprained ankles.

I equated health with being injury free. When I did get injured, Advil or Tylenol numbed the pain and a course of physio gave me therapy and exercise necessary to rehabilitate the problem area. The goal always seemed to be to get back to the shape I was in prior to getting hurt. Wow, talk about short term thinking!

It was during my time in chiropractic college that I experienced an extraordinary shift in my understanding of health and wellness. The year prior to entering chiropractic college, I had been suffering from post-concussion headaches and finding only short-term relief from traditional medical care. My first ever chiropractic adjustment came shortly after starting school. Within weeks of receiving regular chiropractic treatment I was headache free! What’s more, I started to notice increased energy, was sleeping better and had generally improved vitality.

I learned firsthand that our bodies have an amazing innate ability to heal and that becoming symptom free is only the first step in realizing our true potential for health and well-being.

Empowered with the knowledge that the chiropractic adjustment is a vital component of being optimally healthy, I opened Carlisle Family Chiropractic Clinic in 2002. Our mission is to ensure that people don’t have to wait nearly three decades, as I did, to learn about and discover their potential for true health."

Fast forward to today and Dr. Dave is your biggest wellness advocate, always striving to unlock our body's potential for healing and vitality. And the does just that!

From picking up the kids to unloading groceries, lifting is part of daily life. But how we lift can make a big difference in how our back and body feel, especially over time.

Start with Awareness

Before lifting anything, pause for a moment and check your position. Are your feet planted firmly? Can you bend your knees rather than your waist? Using your legs to lift – rather than your back – may help reduce unnecessary strain. Even lightweight items can add up if lifted repeatedly with poor form (think laundry baskets or shopping bags left near the stairs).

Keep It Close and Controlled

Hold items close to your body, keeping your spine neutral and your movements slow and steady. If something feels awkward or heavier than expected, it’s okay to break it into smaller loads or ask for help. Twisting while lifting is a common cause of discomfort, so try to pivot with your feet instead of rotating through your back. If you need to lift multiple times in a row, take short breaks to reset your posture and give your muscles a breather.

Build Better Habits Over Time

You don’t need to lift perfectly every time, but staying mindful of your movements can go a long way. Regular stretching or light strengthening exercises may also help support your spine and reduce stiffness, especially if you’re lifting often or caring for young children. Even learning to brace your core (a technique that feels a bit like gently tightening your belt) can help stabilize your spine during daily lifting tasks.

Not sure if your lifting habits are helping or hindering your posture?
