No Worries

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagined everyone got to enjoy themselves by either having fun with others or working on projects for future activities. Many times when we get overwhelmed by what we have to do or everything that needs to get done we tend to become worried. Today let’s talk about how we can acknowledge worry and start to direct ourselves towards a better way of thinking. 

I think we can all agree that everyone may worry a little every now and then. Worry is an indicator that we are thinking about something that might happen poorly in the future based on what we have been through in the past. Imagine if you will if or when you had to give a speech in front of the class during school. The days and moments leading up to it you may have stressed out thinking about the many ways it could go wrong or how others would think of you based on your delivery of the speech. Some may worry about what grade they will get or how many um’s or uh’s they will say or even if they will get any words out at all. All in all it is not until they start doing it does the worry and/or fear start to diminish. We can see that when we actually do the activity that we don’t have the time to keep thinking about what will happen and just experience what is happening now. It was the very thinking about the task that was causing the worry to be experienced.


Worry can cause us to start thinking and feeling negatively about the future. This is due to our minds reasoning what could possibly happen based upon what we have experienced in the past. However, if we think back we start to understand that many things tend to work out in the end even if we did fail to do what we wanted at the time. Excessive worry can cause our brains and bodies to become unbalanced lending towards having certain health issues. Therefore, when we start to worry we can take time to take a breath and direct our thinking towards more of a hopeful future by remembering where we are at today despite all of the shortcomings that have happened before. 


It appears that there are many things in life that we may worry about from home life to national life to what this planet is going through. However, many things are outside of our control and we can realize that what we can’t control would be nonsense to worry about. We can do our best with what we know and offer help to others when appropriate. Remember, worrying doesn’t solve the problem so we can choose to take a breath and do whatever it is we can control and let life fill in the rest.

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
