Happy Groundhog Day!
Ok, how many of you are saying right now, “I love that movie!”
How many of you are also saying that Life feels like “Groundhog Day,” where every day is the same, especially the same aches and pains that you wake up to, except that Cher is not singing “I Got You Babe!”
We fall into the same rut of bad habits in the way we sit, stand, sleep, work, and, as a result, create the worst bad habit, that of your back muscles holding your spine in the wrong position creating pinched nerves and pain.
You try to sit straight, have good posture, and are careful how you bend, lift, etc. BUT those back muscles always go back to where they are used to, the wrong position.
This repetitive, ongoing discomfort makes life less enjoyable.
My job as your chiropractor is to retrain those back muscles through regular, ongoing adjustments until those back muscles learn to stay in the right position instead of the wrong position.
Then you reap the benefits of good habits instead of bad ones.
TOGETHER we can break the vicious cycle and, as you know, if you have your health, then you have the foundation to make other changes in your life, but that’s for another day!
If Bill Murray can learn the lessons of what is important in our lives so can we all!
Phil Connors is arrogant, sarcastic, glass-half-empty, self-absorbed, and feeling hopeless about life.
He, like most of us, who go semi-automatically through most of our days, finds that if you do nothing different, your days will repeat themselves.
However, if you choose to change your behavior and, yes, attitude, you can affect the people around you, as Phil did. He uses his experiences to help other people, learning to empathize with other people’s suffering.
In the end, he undergoes a breakthrough to a more authentic self in which intimacy, creativity, and compassion come naturally.
Change comes slowly both physically and emotionally but isn’t it worth heading in that direction rather than accepting the status quo?
