Our system is not built on being healthy, but rather on managing the symptoms of being unhealthy. Even research funding, which should drive better outcomes, is overwhelmingly spent on learning how to better treat disease instead of on how to prevent it. Yet, disease is more prominent than ever, rates of cancer, heart disease, and innumerable other conditions are climbing instead of falling. Meanwhile, people are dying in alarming numbers from adverse reactions to medical treatments.

The most revolutionary idea in healthcare today might be among the simplest: it is easier to keep a well person healthy than to get a sick person well.

I wrote an article this month! It can be found on page 12. The article is entitled: Begin Before the Day. "I started noticing it first in my kids. They’d roll out of bed, already halfway somewhere else in their minds. Perhaps you know the look: eyes glazed, faces neutral, just going through the motions. Come downstairs. Grab breakfast. Can’t you see the glare of YouTube shorts in their eyes? Then, hustling out the door. Our kids are like mirrors held up to our lives. I remember not long ago a different routine, but the same autopilot." - Read on!

This is advice specifically geared toward men, but it's universal in application. I hope you take something life-giving away from it 🙂🙂🙏👊

"Defining fear as False Evidence Appearing Real is a disservice to the power of fear. There’s nothing false about it. It seems vividly real. More precisely, fear is an imagined future pain. The pain could be physical, emotional, or even spiritual. It’s an invisible prison we construct, designed to protect us. We each have a unique set of protective warnings based on our previous experiences. But one thing is clear: Everything we want, desire, and yearn for exists on the other side of fear. If we’re feeling stuck, spinning our wheels, expressing an irrational aversion, or tolerating a seemingly invisible constraint, identify the underlying fear—the future imagined pain. Thankfully, fear is just a bully. Confront it, stand up to it and it slinks away. Defeated. Conquered." - Bill Esteb

This is from Bill Esteb. I think its application is universal. "After years of striving to reach success," he writes, "it’s easy to shift from offense to defense, from creating to conserving. The shift is subtle. We start protecting what we have instead of pursuing why we started. The result? Comfort becomes the goal. Growth takes a back seat. Watch for these common warning signs: Disconnection (physically present, mentally elsewhere), Entitlement. Joylessness. When purpose drifts, we trade fulfillment for fleeting pleasure. It’s a poor exchange: comfort instead of calling, safety instead of significance. Remember, the only way to coast, is downhill. Reclaim the offense. Reignite your purpose. It’s where joy lives."

I think we definitely grow closer to God through being in an unhealthy state - we learn through the adversity of pain and dysfunction. However, we optimize our relationship with God in a healthy state. Being whole - in body, mind, and spirit - gives us the strength to walk with God more fully. The longer I've practiced, the more I've realized alignment is about way more than alignment 🙏🙂.

Ohhh...I liked this one. "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - Charles F. Brannan

Referencing Monday's post - a person without their brainstem compromised may be sick, while a person with it compromised may be well. How? - time is the key factor. Sickness develops. Wellness develops. If at the same time the well person suffers an injury, the sick person is restoring brainstem function via adjustment, then the sick person may no longer be compromised at the epicenter, but they still need time (obviously) to return to a state of health. -paraphrased from Dr. Palmer

A person without their brainstem compromised may be sick, while a person with it compromised may be well. How? At 12pm, the hypothetically well person experiences trauma, and thus loses alignment, causing the brainstem problem, BUT they're not sick yet. Time is necessary to DEVELOP sickness once the core habit is gone. This can be applied in many ways with all health habits, in that their absence leads to sickness; their replacement with bad habits speeds up the process. Thursday, we'll continue...

Continuing on about the hive mentality, research from Emory University suggests that we don't even know we're still making decisions based on peer pressure. Humans are unfortunately now so wired to subconsciously avoid being rejected that a group's confident certainty can quietly activate the parts of the brain that deal with fear instead of the parts that lead to sharp decision-making. Groups change perceptions, and naturally. Be mindful to balance group thinking with your own.
