DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE . . Definiteness of Purposemeans we must have a clear understanding of what we want and it must be a burning desire and passion for us. When you have adefiniteness of purposeyou will not be distracted by anything that takes you away from pursuing thispurpose. .... . Napoleon Hill first wrote about this in his book "Think and Grow Rich" in how magnates of business became successful. Bottom line, they all had a destination/vision of where they knew their journey would lead them to . . . When you have clear intentions of how you plan to accomplish something greater than yourself, you truly can be/do anything you desire. . . I knew I wanted to help people in a natural way that would be within the harmony of everyday living. It took me 2/3rds of my life to figure out the best route was to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. This gave me a better platform to hone my understanding of natural health practices, and the BIGGER goal was about teaching the masses. . . Luckily for our day and age of technology and social media , this message is able to be spread in a much larger fashion than Napoleon Hill could have never imagined. But he always had a point when it came to the philosophy of a knowing how to become successful. And it requires knowing EXACTLY what you want. After that, it's just about putting in the work. . . #definitenessofpurpose #napoleanhill #tagr #thinkandgrowrich #enterpreneurmindset #growthmindset #youcandoanything #purpose #burningdesire #lifecoaching #healthcoaching #sandiegochiropractor See more

ASCENDING vs. GROUNDING . . Many people concentrate much of their efforts on reaching their highest level of potential in their career or hobby of choice. However, many people do not take the proper energy to learn in how to be "content" within the current moment of where they are. .... . This can lead to anxiousness, low self-esteem, worry, distrust, disgust, obsession, and even lack of control over events. In other words, feeling "ungrounded". . . In literal and practical terms, if you want to jump high , you have to start from a stable surface to allow yourself to be able to reach as high as you desire. Without that solid foundation, it makes the effort a lot more difficult to ascend to where you want to be. . . This may require things to get your emotional and/or mental foundation settled first to determine what you desire. And there's several ways you can get started: Journaling Reading Meditating Exercising Getting out in nature Therapy Visiting an amazing chiropractor . . It all starts with finding your "Definiteness in Purpose". So start by finding out YOURS. . . #hustlementality #consciousresiliency #growthmindset #ascension #grounding #ambitiousbutcontent #meditation #definitenessofpurpose #entrepreneurhustle #sandiegochiropractor #lifecoaching #healthcoaching #mindsetiseverything

6 MONTHS 6 . . On April 13th, 2020 in the midst of a quarantine with so much unknown about the future, I decided to get myself disciplined and organized, and I started writing daily goals on sticky notes. .... . Admittedly, my business took an initial hit, but the Universe I felt was granting me the best resource it could offer: Time . And I made it a point to make myself engage in every day activities for my business and myself. . . I had also read an expression stating: "6 months of hard work can put you 5 years ahead"...so I thought "Hmmmm ...what if we tried that?" . . As of this moment on October 12th, 2020 at 10:36 PM PST, I have done 6 months to the day, and I have to say that THIS PLAN WORKS! . . Now, I understand that all these sticky notes can get messy and disorganized. I merely did this to reall SHOW me the build up of all my small daily efforts. I plan on nore journaling for myself following this method. . . Here's what I've accomplished in 6 months: Turned 34 Started my first office Read 6 books, currently on the 7th Actively doing yoga 3x/week Meditating daily Started learning guitar . . And yes, there were plenty of days that I didn't reach each goal I set. But it let me learn to "surrender" and let go of needing to be 'perfect'. It made me learn how to have humility because of how much pressure we sometimes can put on ourselves. . . Point is, anybody can do it! Discipline is the strongest form of self-love . . . #discpline #motivationalposts #selflove #2020 #quarantine2020 #entrepreneurhustle #enterpreneurmindset #growthmindset #consciousresiliency #consistencyiskey # See more

PRACTICE . . 'Practice' is the act of rehearsing a behaviour and over, or engaging in an activity again and again, for the purpose of improving or mastering that skill or ability. .... . It's also the application of an idea or belief, customary, habitual, or expected procedure or way of doing of something (example: chiropractic practice). . . And even though both of these definitions have grammatical variations, they are still similar in the INTENTION. And it's our HABITS that contribute into our continual mastery of any skill or technique through practice. . . Each day when I go to work, I'm continuously trying to aim for better health outcomes of my patients. I PRACTICE various skill sets to address their needs specifically. Does it mean I always get it correct? No! . . The intention is to constantly maintain and gain proficiency through continual trial and error of learning and growing. And as a result of these efforts, I learn as much as I hope my patients learn in return. . . #practice #practicemakesperfect #practicemakespermanent #habits #growthmindset #entrepreneurhustle #trialanderror #consistencyiskey #wereallhuman #proficiency.#sandiegochiropractor See more

PEACE . . My mantra throughout life has always been "Make the best of what you can with what you have." So far at 34 times around the sun it's served me well, and benefitted my happiness tremendously . .... . When you're at PEACE, you're always PROGRESSING . . . When you're at PEACE, you have a better ability to learn and GROW as an individual. . . When you're at PEACE, the only way forward is UP! Stay positive . . #peace #growthmindset #abundancemindset #constantgrowth #enterpreneurmindset #entrepreneurhustle #lifecoaching #healthcoaching #staypositive #lifelessons See more

LEADERS ARE READERS . . I learned about the powefull effects of psychedelic therapy from reading "How to Change Your Mind" . .... . I learned about how to handle stress in mind, body, spirit and science through "Adrenal Fatigue" and "The Stress of Life" . . . I learned about the power to manifest my desires for what I crave in life from "Into the Magic Shop" , "Think and Grow Rich" , and "Outwitting the Devil" . . . When you take the time to educate yourself, you fear less things in life because you are well informed. . . Over the last 2 years I've taken the time to read all these books, and I'm just getting started. And honestly, it's because I realize how much I DON'T know about the world. . . Good leaders read so they can fear less and therefore gain MORE POWER . If you crave to be more emPOWERED then you must read. . . And the thing is it doesn't have to be much. 5 to 10 minutes a day is still better than 0. And over time you'll keep learning more, and therefore gaining more power! . . #leadersarereaders #consciousresiliency #consistencyiskey #entrepreneurhustle #enterpreneurmindset #growthmindset #psychedelics #mindbodyspirit #thepowerofnow #outwittingthedevil #napoleanhill See more

PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE . . Diamonds are created through heavy heat and pressure to make some of nature's most intricate designs that are truly unique. Human beings are the same in the regard of their personality and livelihoods. .... . Not everyone has the opportunity to make something of themselves when the moment is presented to them. And this could be based on their preconceived fears of the unknown. . . It's also related to their mindset-- they're thinking about what can go WRONG instead of what can go RIGHT! . . When you put yourself into the focus of HOW you can "win" or succeed in ANYTHING in life, you must first understand that it is not going to be easy. And that pressure in this case is a PRIVILEGE, and more importantly at times-- a calling! . . #pressureisgood #whiteboardwisdom #welcomingtransformation #consciousresiliency #confidenceiskey #consciousawakening #gametime #whatcangoright #mindsetiseverything #healthcoaching #lifecoaching See more

AVERAGE OR NORMAL . . Let's face it-- normal or average is BORING . It means that one is content with conformity. But the truth is EVERYONE has something unique and different to offer this world. .... . Don't let anyone tell you that you need to "fit these guidelines" for living life. That's a fabricated reality that you don't need to experience if you don't want to. . . The truth is that nobody really knows what they're doing. There's no instructional manual for the human experience. The more you hold on to the notion that you have to act or be like something that you're not will only affect you in a negative manner. . . So go ahead an be exactly the beautiful you that you are, and you'll attract what you want to attract out of life, and your health and experience as a human being will be much more rewarding. . . #consciousresiliency #lifecoaching #mindfullife #mindsetiseverything #entrepreneurlife #freethinker #mentalslavery #criticalthinking #ownyourweirdness #consciousawakening #average #normalisboring #nonconformity See more

RESPONSIBILITY . . The top key was the one given to me when I worked at @selfmadetrainingfacilitymv . The bottom 4 keys are what I now have with my own office. .... . "With great power comes great responsibility."- Uncle Ben, Spider-Man . . Aside from cliché movie quotes, there is some merit in this analogy. When you're an entrepreneur/business owner, the sole responsibility of everything in your company relies upon you, or you and affiliated partners (hopefully trustworthy). . . This means that you take on all the duties to make sure that you make your company successful. This includes but is not limited to: Payroll Business Expenses Bookkeeping Inventory Advertising Social media presence Customer Service ...and so many more . . With more responsibility comes more humility knowing what amount of effort it takes to get to the level of success one desires. . . #consistencyiskey #successmindset #growthmindset #hustlementality #thegrind #responsibility #entrepreneurhustle #entrepreneurlife #businessowner #lifecoaching #businesstips #sandiegochiropractor See more

STRUCTURE ANY ARGUMENT . . I use this outline/strategy for writing papers, preparing debates, or just having casual conversation with patients on particular topics they are not familiar with. I actually learned it in 9th grade English, and it's continued to serve me well. .... . When formulating an argument, we have to take the nature of respect into the conversation. It's not just about imposing your will on another based on what you believe. It's always to give and gain greater clarity. . . In this reverse pyramid outline, we break it down to 3 components: 1 Context- the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed. 2 Thesis- a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise or maintained or proved 3 Focus- the center of interest or activity . . From this outline, it can give you a way of orienting a process of thought that is clear, organized, and respectful to individuals who may be lost on perspective of another. . . #consciousresiliency #consciousawakening #structuringanargument #arguing #debate #sharingwisdom #whiteboardwisdom #empathymatters #empathyisasuperpower #learntolisten #freethoughts #criticalthinking #lifecoaching

Arguing is a good thing! . . The perspective we each have on the world is uniquely only ours based upon what we alone have experienced. We're all figuring out life in our own way no matter how old we get or what experiences we go through. Nobody has all the answers. .... . People can also be very polarized in their viewpoints... especially in this current time in the world. . . When we "argue", it's simply discussion based upon differing viewpoints at it's core based upon comparing experiences. It's not meant to offend or "hate-on" another individual, it's just a different path taken in life that creates a paradigm of how one sees the world. . . Taking the time to be mindful and logical regarding how another sees the world, especially with their experiences being inherently different only leads to growth, understanding, and overall empathy for others. . . With more empathy comes more awareness...with more awareness comes growth of a greater collective consciousness. . . #consciousresiliency #confidenceiskey #collectiveconsciousness #consciousawakening #arguing #debating #empathy #empathyisasuperpower #empathymatters #openminded #mindfullife See more

ON POINT . . Purely for ego, I had to get a picture of me hitting this bullseye because let's face it...it looks cool and badass. .... . The larger message I want to put out with the humility behind it is- it took me probably 2-3 dozen attempts to hit this bullseye. Many of the other attempts were either off the mark or just the ax bouncing back and nearly hitting me. . . In the social media age we live in, many of us want to show our achievements to the world without recognizing the "failures" or attempts at success it took us to reach that level. . . I've failed SO MANY times (school, business, personal life). But what I will say is that for every single "failure" I've had, it has helped me learn more about myself, my capabilities, and how I handle this human experience in the world. . . Regardless of how you feel in your mind about yourself, you've got to take a chance at something you want in life. I've always regretted things I haven't attempted rather than what I have, because let's face it- "I gave it a shot" sounds a lot better than "What could have been". . .

ORGAN-MERIDIAN RELATIONSHIP . . There is a force in the body called chi or qi. Chi moves in definite zones or channels called meridians. .... . The body is capable of maintaining homeostasis. Interference can come from internal or external forces. . . There are many ways to stimulate the acupuncture points; they don’t necessarily have to be punctured with needles. Electrical pulses, beads, lasers (homogeneous light), taping or rubbing, and different types of metals can have an effect on the proper flow of the meridians and the balance of Yin and Yang. . . Chiropractic care can also improve the "flow" of the meridians because of the proper alignment and functioning of the spine and extremities. . . This becomes of great significance because each organ as well as muscle correlate to a specific spinal segment that affects the neurological control of the motor control of muscles. This is why within #appliedkinesiology we utilize #muscletesting so we're able to understand where issues arise from within the body. . .
