How full is "your” savings account?

We are born with a fixed life span. It's fixed by our genetic make-up. There is nothing we can ever do that will add one day to that figure. That's the way it is. However, there are a number of things we can do to our bodies that can significantly reduce that figure. It's like having a savings account that you draw from anytime you wish. But when the account is emptied, there is no more. That's it. It's all gone. Most young people draw money out of their account for every silly little thing they want. But as they get older and gain more wisdom. They become more selective. They approach each potential purchase with the question "Do I really need this?"

As human beings, we draw from our life span account rather presumptuously in our younger years and get away with it (not enough exercise, booze, tobacco, missed meals, not enough sleep, physically beating up our bodies, unbalanced haphazard lifestyle running all over the place, no peace). As we get older we begin to panic. "The account is getting lower." "How can I get more in the account?" "What can I do to take better care of my account and keep it active so it doesn't get terminated?" "Help!"

What does all this mean? Every day I hear from people(usually outside my practice) "I just don't have the time to take care of myself. I have two jobs, three kids with many activities, a house to keep up, etc. etc. I don't have time to get to a gym, eat right, or get my spine checked. I just have too much going on. "Maybe next month I'll start."

The truth is if you don't make the time and money now to invest in yourself, you probably never will. You'll reach the panic stage sooner than you think and by then it may be too late. I hope the kids are on their own by then.

If you don't work at all the different pieces that maintain life, you'll never really add to the account that has been loosing funds over the years. Running five miles a day won't do much good if your smoking five packs of cigarettes a day. Buying at the health food store won't help if you’re getting three hours of sleep every night. Ordering a diet soda with three cheeseburgers.....????...... Of course, if you don't get your spine checked frequently, and you are walking around with nerve pressure, you'll never ever get the most out of your diet, exercise, or any other good health habit you have. The interference on the nervous system, whether subtle or very prominent, seriously impairs the body's ability to carry on all its normal and natural functions. When the body's chemistry is upset, organ function is affected, resistance is lowered, and all coordinated activity is decreased. The food you eat, the vitamins you take, and the good rest and exercise you get will never be best utilized by the body if there is nerve interference. Your body will just not work at its peak potential. If you keep the life channels open(keep the nerves from being squeezed off), your body's nerve system will work at its maximum. The body will perform all its tasks more efficiently, giving you your best chance to be all you could be.

This story has a great ending........MAKE THE TIME TO INCREASE THE BODY'S POTENTIAL before there is no time left....... ADD TO THE ACCOUNT.

Enhance your life!
