Week  1:   Jan. 12th     Dave Markwell, Certified Life Coach   www.abluesandlife.com 
  " I have been a certified life coach for a couple of years, however, I have been a life-long student and searcher of a "good life". In coaching, I enjoy helping people define what they want from life and then creating effective strategies to help them acheive it. My life coaching focus and philosophy emphasizes getting people engaged in the creative process of enjoying life. Defining what's important and having a clearly defined path to where one wants to go is vital to any quality of life goals. I help people see their own picture more clearly and then work with them on implementing a realistic, pragmatic, energetic and fun program leading in the direction of their dreams!!"

What is a subluxation?

The word "subluxation" comes from the Latin words meaning "to dislocate" (luxate) and "somewhat or slightly" (sub). A subluxation means a slight dislocation (misalignment) or biomechanical malfunctioning of the vertebrae (bones of the spine). These disturbances may irritate nerve roots and blood vessels which branch off from the spinal cord between each of the vertebrae. This irritation may cause pain and dysfunction in muscle, lymphatic and organ tissue as well as imbalance in the normal body processes.  This process takes you away from homeostasis or balance and brings you further toward a state of illness or dis-ease.

TOP 10 DANGEROUS THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

1. It will go away if I ignore it.
2. I'll just take some Ibuprofen.
3. I'm fine. My back doesn't hurt at all.
4. It's too late. I'm too old to get better.
5. I can "crack" my own back.
6. My doctor says there's nothing else I can do.
7. I went to a chiropractor once and he fixed me.
8. I'm healthy. I'm not taking any medications at all.
9. I'm too busy. I'll do it next week.
10. My wife/husband doesn't believe in it.

Make yourself a priority and get the care you need and deserve. Excuses only delay your progress.
