You may be wondering why I included my chiropractor in my mentors list. It’s quite simple.
What he taught me about my pain saved my life
He is a huge reason why I am even alive and here to tell you anything.
Dr. Marc practices a form of chiropractic called “NSA” or “Network Spinal Analysis”.
It is life changing and it is a way of thinking, being aware, listening, and learning that changed how I do business.
It is something many steps above traditional chiropractic care.
I’ll give you a brief rundown of some of the key points the good doctor taught me as he worked on my body:
- Heal the body to heal the mind
- Be quiet in order for your heart to be heard
- Get out of your head sometimes…relax
- Become aware of your body
- Become aware of everything – connect to life on all levels
- We have power of which we are not conscious
- Our trials are gifts disguised as pain
- Embrace your pain and fears in order to rid them from your life
Now then. You’re on my site in order to learn how to change your story, thereby changing your life. You may be confused as to the importance of the above list.
Well, those items are very important to your success in any area of life. Critical, actually.
If your body is in bad shape, your mind will soon follow and vice versa
A problem many of us builders and creators have is we get too locked up into thinking and we neglect to move, to eat right, to sleep right, or to relax enough to allow a recharge to take place.
I know I’ve experienced all of those things in my pursuit of online victory.
But once the body gets tired and sick, you cannot possibly think clearly enough to make the best possible business decisions.
You won’t be able to make the points of your message clear, either. You lose and so does your audience.
Understandably, sacrifices do sometimes need to be made in order to breach that next wave but do your best to keep those periods to a minimum.
Frequently, the stresses appearing in your life as you build your new world, will become more than your mind can bear.
It will funnel the mental overload into your physical being – take all that negative energy and transmute it into a pocket of misery, an itch, an ache, or just a ball of poison waiting to become something much worse one day down the line.
Sounds freaky but it’s true.
Much of how you hurt is not true pain but misplaced stress
You’ll sometimes notice that when you get mad, stressed, or scared that a certain pain in your body “flares up” in the same place every time. For me it was my lower back.
I really do have low back damage but much of the hurt I felt for years was all the anger, rage, and stress I had to deal with when my life was something of a disaster.
When I got my head right, it was like magic what happened to my lower back!
And when my lower back pain diminished, I was able to begin planning the next steps to my business with more vigor and zest.
This is all related. I’ll prove it to you. I wrote everything on this page based on my own experiences.
As you chase down your dream many things will crop up that are of your own making, which will cause you to doubt yourself or lose faith.
Some of these things are old habits and old lines of thought that need to get gone in order for you to succeed.
But the harder you fight these things, the more stubborn and powerful they become.
Your pains and anxieties are messages from your body that are unresolved issues
If you take a pill to calm them, they never get fixed. Therefore, you never truly reach you highest potential and this will reveal itself in your bottom line.
The only way to be your best, so that your business can be its best, is for you to know these pains and fears for what they are: gifts.
They are gifts to be embraced and felt fully.
They are a way your body devises to rid itself of stored hurts and traumas from times gone by.
If you allow yourself to feel them fully, and find the lesson within them, you will be exposed to a life you cannot envision right now.
They’re like any other breakthrough you’ve had
You fight and fight and fight to find a way around a problem, only to eventually give up, but in a good sense, and see if a better answer appears.
An answer from a quarter you just can’t see right now because you’re too hyper-focused in the wrong direction.
When you let go, realize you can’t beat the thing, and sit back to see what comes next, it will come.
The giving up is the experiencing of the pain fully.
When you do this, your answer will appear as if by magic
And this all leads to a better bottom line, more people reached, more lives transformed, and a level of personal growth for you that will make it all worth it.
I learned a lot about all of this at my chiropractor’s.
Go figure.
