I Promise… We Will NEVER Give Up

These were a few pictures taken from my last Outreach Service trip to El Salvador.

I might have been told a time or two I do not look approachable- ‘intense’ would be the most commonly used word.  Ok, I totally get it when I see photos of myself. But, let’s just take a second and I will let you in that head of mine.  

First, I never stop thinking.  Ever. About life, things important to me, people, goals, dreams, choices, to do lists, feelings… you name it.  Always a thought. 

Second, I am an introvert (whether you believe me or not)   So I often love watching from afar and then my brain does it’s thang.  I am watching, observing and making notes. Always.

Third,…Yes.  It IS intense up there in the space between my ears.  I don’t wish the millions of thoughts racing through my brain on anyone else.  

Let me explain and it might make a little more sense. Every day in our office, we see people overcome obstacles.  Crazy stories about healing and WE get to hear about it over and over. It always leaves us wondering… What’s the hangup?  How can we help MORE people get back their quality of life and experience the cool things that we see! Just yesterday we had a brand new practice member tell us they had a migraine, everyday, since June.  She came back for her second adjustment (of all time) and she was already smiling and improving- headache reduced, overall fibromyalgia pain drastically reduced. (PSA, we don’t have a ‘symptom’ relief expectation, we have a HEALING expectation which is different for each person!)   The point is, we get to experience this in our office everyday!! 

Let’s go back to why the intensity of my face?!? 

When I see a person, I automatically think of hope.  I think of what their life could be if they didn’t see or feel limitations.  If they didn’t get fed a lie that there wasn’t a solution. What their life could be with the support system needed to succeed.  Whether it is health related from my role as a chiropractor, mood and emotional health or personal addictive struggles; I see HOPE.  It almost eats me alive to witness people NOT living out their potential. Settling for less. Giving up. Losing precious time. Oh my, I can feel the intensity as I am writing this! 

Sometimes my expectations for others are too high.  Sometimes I get frustrated when I don’t see people try to change.  It is who I am and that fire is ingrained in my soul. I have made personal changes and sacrifices in my life that I no longer felt served me.  Cold turkey, just DONE with some habits. I DO understand how hard it is to make change. But trust me, YOU can change, YOU deserve more. You deserve better.

When it comes to your health, we can help.  If we can’t be the solution, we will find someone that can.  But what I promise you is we will NEVER give up.
