Delicate Balance

Delicate Balance

If you are ever vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and find yourself walking along the Malecon (a boardwalk along the water in Old Town) you will encounter a man who has made it his profession attempting to find a delicate balance while stacking boulders.  As you watch him you will see that it takes a great deal of strength, balance, coordination, and patience.  It actually is an amazing event to behold.  If you didn’t see one man doing this in front of you, you wouldn’t have thought it possible.

There is a term that everyone should know.  Homeostasis.  Some dictionaries define this term as “the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.”  It’s balance, a delicate balance in your body.  That sounds nice but what truly is it?

Your body is constantly trying to find this delicate balance in regards to all of it’s functions.  Homeostasis found is when you are functioning in a very healthy state.  In order to be in a state of homeostasis, you must be playing by the rules of good health which never change and they are...

Eat nutritious.  Make sure that you are getting an abundance of vegetables and fruits in your diet.  This is the foundation for nutritional balance.  Nearly everything else is eating for entertainment purposes only and doesn’t support this balance.

Move dynamic.  Your body was meant to move.  This means globally through an active lifestyle and segmentally through chiropractic care addressing movement at the vertebral level.  A sedentary life disturbs this balance.

Think extraordinary.  This encompasses a desire to improve oneself and to have an attitude of servitude towards others.  This is a mindset of goal setting daily and creating opportunities to succeed.

It takes a great deal of strength, coordination, and patience to achieve this delicate balance.  But the rewards are a healthy, productive, inspiring life.
