How Would Now Be a Good Time?

No time like the present

Tony Robbins has said on many occasions, "How would now be a good time?" I decided to apply this quote today. I have been putting off starting a blog for a long time for fear of failure. Then I remembered, the only failure is not doing, not taking a chance, not putting myself out there.  This is my very first blog post with my husband at my side; helping me to navigate all the buttons and tabs associated with web pages, blogs, and the internet. I must admit it is daunting. I have been talking for some time about the disconnect in the "health care" system and health.  There needs to be a massive paradigm shift.

Health is so much more than the absence of disease and health never came from a pill. Over time we have been hypnotized into believing we don't have to be accountable for our decisions. Turn on the t.v. or listen to the radio, pull open any magazine and there are ads to tell us how to circumvent the symptoms we have created by our life style choices. If you have a pain, symptom or feeling you don't like - there's a pill for that. We are a society that wants to do what we want to do when we want to do it - without consequence. I ask you - how's that working for you?

  True health comes from balancing three major areas in our lives: structural, chemical and mental/emotional/spiritual. When these are in balance, we experience a sense of well-being and when they are out of balance, we express "dis-ease". This dis-ease can take many different forms. Manifestation of this lack of balance can range from a kink in the neck to an upset stomach, to a sense of overwhelm, etc.

Over the next several weeks, I plan to write briefly on topics that can improve your overall health. I look forward to your comments and questions.
