Do you wonder why someone got sick? Why a person gets Cancer, or Rheumatoid Arthritis, or AIDS, or has a heart attack or a stroke?  Let’s talk about that today. Because the cause is at once simpler and more complicated that you think.

All dis-ease is caused by one thing–stress. I look at stress a little differently than most. But before I delve into that, let me tell you a secret.

If you have ANY symptoms, it’s because your total stress load has reached your critical point. Think of an old-fashioned thermometer with a red bulb at the bottom. Each of us has a different sized red bulb where our tolerance for stress is concerned. But when that red bulb gets full of stress, it pushes the red liquid to to 10 then 20 then 30 etc.

At some point, you’ve reached your stress tolerance level or critical point and your body can no longer handle it and compensate so you start having symptoms. Each person’s symptoms will be different depending on the weakest system in their body.

I don’t care what your symptoms are: a rash, pain, a back problem, a cold, or cancer or even AIDS–the cause is always the same: you’re above your critical stress level. The more serious the symptoms, the further above your critical point you are. And the longer you stay above critical, the more deadly the symptoms become.

So as a wellness counselor, my job is always to help people lower their total stress load as far below the critical point as we can get them. One thing to remember is that the first day you are symptom free, you are not well. You are one day away from having symptoms again. You have to continue to work to lower your total stress load.

Let’s look at potential stresses:

• Poor air quality
• Diet
• Exercise (too much, too little, or the wrong kind)
• Toxins in food, water, air, household cleaners, carpets, hair sprays, deodorants etc.
• Thoughts
• Jobs
• Relationships
• Death of a loved one
• Bacteria, virus etc.
• Working under deadlines
• Parasite
• Overweight or underweight
• Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep
• Divorce
• Loss of any kind.
• Animals

Well, you get the idea–almost anything can cause stress including the pets we adore.

My second job as an advisor (and your work to improve your health) is to see what stressors can be reduced. REWMEMBER WHEN WE REDUCE THE TOTAL STRESS LOAD BELOW A CRITICAL POINT, THE SYMPTOMS (AND THUS THE DIS-EASE) WILL BEGIN TO DISAPPEAR.

Today I’d like you to make a list of EVERYTHING you can think of that might be a stressor in your life. Think about which ones might be easiest to reduce. ANY reduction will lower your total stress load.

I’ll come back to this topic soon and give you some more ideas how to do this.

And when those symptoms begin to disappear you will come soar with me in greater health and vitality.

Blessings

 Every person has a song (or a story). Wayne Dyer says the saddest thing that could happen is to die with our song still within us. (Not an exact quote but close.)
 
 Every person has a story! Probably a lot of stories. Whether your story is about your life, the life of an ancestor, someone well know or whether it is a work of fiction doesn’t matter. Each of us has something very important to tell and no-one can tell it as well as you can. No One.

 Proably no-one else can tell your story at all. So it’s up to you! I’ll try and help you get started. And finished. And everything in between. So hang around. But while you wait for the next blog, start thinking about where and when you’d like to write and what your story is.

 I can tell you, holding your book in your hand is a thrill like no other. It is a profound moment that you will always remember. Worth every minute, every oounce of sweat and every bucket of tears.

 Come soar with me and get ready to write your story. You’re in for the ride of a lifetime!

Bless you,

 Your attitude is the one biggest influence on your health. You’ve heard this before, but do you believe it?  It is a scientific fact that every thought we have affects every cell in our body.

 I’d like you to think about a lemon.  In your imagination, pick it up.  Smell it. Now take a knife and cut a slice off of it. Put it in your moth and bite down. I can’t do that without saliva flowing. There’s nothing in your mouth–just the thoughts cause a whole cascade of physical reactions. You may have even puckered your mouth or shivered. That’s one example of the power of thought.

 What man has not become  aroused by seeing a beautiful woman.  The thought is all it took.
 Scientists know that there are hundreds of filters between what is outside of us and what we are conscious of.  The hypothalmus is the organ which does this wonderful service for us. We couldn’t begin to be conscious of everything around us. Right now, you’re probably not conscious of the chair you’re sitting on–until I reminded you. But if that chair were to catch on fire, you’d remember soon enough. Our mind filters out most of the sounds, smells and sights around us–anything it doesn’t consider important.
 BUT, there is NO filter from the brain to the body. Everything is considered important and every thought, every feeling goes right through to the body.
 After the loss of a spouse, a large per centage of people have a serious health problem within the first year. The stress caused it.
 What you think EVERY second affects your health. Want to live a long time? Watch your thoughts. How many times have you said, “I’m sick, I’m tired, or even I’m sick and tired of” or “I’d rather die than_______” “I’ll proably catch a cold.” Each of these thoughts sends a negative message to the body. And guess what, it helps you make that statement true.
 I’ve heard it said that dis-ease cannot live where love is. I believe that we’d all be healthier if more of our thoughts were loving.  Especially we need to love ourselves. We’re usually more critical of ourselves than anyone else; beat up on ourselves more.
 Laughter is also a great healer. There are testamonies of those who have healed themselves of cancer with laughter. Laugher massages many muscles and we don’t know what all the other benefits are. We just know that laughter improves health. So watch a funny movie, read a funny book, spend time with people who love to laugh or read some good jokes. Do anything that brings laughter into your life.
 So for yourself and all those who love you: love yourself, laugh a lot, spend your time doing what you love and weed out those negative thoughts.
 THINK HAPPY AND GROW HEALTHY and you’ll come soar with me to a life of greater health and joy.

Bless you,

Let’s get right to the meat.  You can’t create your dreams until you know what they are.  So your first task is to get clear on what you want.

Ask yourself, “What would I really like to have/do/be?” Think about it. Don’t be afraid to reach for the stars!  You CAN do/be/have more than you think!

Once you’ve come up with what it is you want, ask yourself, “Is there anything even better that I’d like?” Reach higher! Reach for more joy! You can do it! Right now, don’t worry about how.  We’ll work on that later. You’ll never achieve anything you don’t set as a goal.
Now, write it out in a positive statement as though it’s already done—as an affirmation.

For example:  My book is finished, or My book is published or I have a new job I love or I just got a raise, or My health is getter better and better every day or the love of my life has found me.  Use your own words, but you get the idea.

When you’re satisfied with your affirmation, write it on a 3 x 5 card.  Read it every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to sleep. I know it sounds too easy, but it has been proven thousands and probably millions of times, that it works.  When we do this, something happens that brings that dream closer to reality.  Just by doing this simple thing.

So do it, then get ready to COME SOAR WITH ME!  We’ll take this trip together.
 

Am I qualified to write such a blog? You bet I am! I’ve become a master at making dreams come true.  You’ll hear all about that as the blog moves along, but if you want a sneak peak, read my bio at www.windmillcreativepublishing.com

To make our dreams come true, we must live our passion.  I have three passions (probably many more—but three that are most important to me).  They are (and probably in this order:

1. Life/love/learning and growing/creating a life filled with joy
2. Holistic Health.  I’m a mostly retired Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in holistic medicine.  I am eminently qualified to give you tips on becoming and staying healthy.
3. Writing.  It is my calling and in some ways my very breath.  EVERY PERSON HAS A STORY and I’d like to help you tell yours, get it published and then market it.  So you writers and those who would like to be, might like to subscribe.  It will be filled with meat.  And inspiration and sometimes the heartaches of this whole process. I’ve done all three.  I spent five years writing THIS PRECIOUS LOVE and believe me, it is one awesome book.  It is a historical novel based on my life.  It is as romantic a love story as you’ll ever read AND it will break your heart at times.  It is published and I am learning to market it.  I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned.

Well, in actuality, I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned in all these areas.  My goal is to post one blog on each area every week.  But I’ll let myself write about what is on my heart so sometimes there will be more than three and sometimes they’ll all be on one subject.  Overall, though, I’ll try to make it balanced.

Many of the entries will be on finding the love of your life or if you’ve already found it on keeping the romance alive.

Many will be on how to make your dreams come true.

Many will be on all areas of health:  nutrition, exercise, diet, lifestyle, the true causes of disease, and powerful healing remedies.

It’s going to be a fun adventure and I invite you to come with me!

I welcome your questions.  I will try to answer all those I think would be of value to the group as a whole as soon as I can. 

If you’d like to COME SOAR WITH ME subscribe to this blog or ask to be notified when a new blog is posted.  I’m really new to all this and I’m not sure how it works, but we’ll find out together.  If some of you are more knowledgeable than I, please give me some tips.

This life is precious beyond all.  I’ll try to help you learn to make it a joy.

Bless you,

Dr. Jeanne
