Be Healthy Attitudes

Be aware and listen to the messages your body sends you.
Be loyal to your body by taking good care of it.
Be weak enough to know that your body has limits—don’t overdo.
Be generous to yourself when it comes to the time you spend on your health.
Be frugal with those things which tax your health.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything about your health—but the intelligence inside your body does.
Be foolish enough to trust the innate wisdom of your body more than the conventional wisdom of society.
Be willing to share what you know about health with others.
Be a leader when it comes to your own health and the health of your family—research, learn and take responsibility for your health and your decisions.
Be a follower of those attitudes and practices which serve to empower you and increase your health, rather than disempower you and render you a victim.
Be the first to congratulate yourself for each step you take toward better health.
Be last to criticize yourself for your body’s shortcomings or frailties. Accept where you are and take steps to improve.
Be sure that you want to go where your current actions are taking you. Poor habits and inattention to your health will lead to loss of health.
Be loving to your body, in sickness and in health. It’s your truest and most constant companion.
Be sure to get adjusted on a regular basis—it’s the best way to improve your health now and insure your best health in the future.

Children Learn What They Live

By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.



If children live with criticism . . . they learn to condemn.
 If children live with hostility . . . they learn to fight.
If children live with fear . . . they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity . . . they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule . . . they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy . . . they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame . . . they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement . . . they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance . . . they learn patience.
If children live with praise . . . they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance . . . they learn to love.
If children live with approval . . . they learn to like themselves.
 If children live with recognition . . . they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing . . . they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty . . . they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, . . . they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration . . . they learn respect.
If children live with security . . . they learn to have faith in themselves
and in those about them. If children live with friendliness . . . they learn the world is a nice placein which to live.

If children live with a fear of disease and germs .... they learn to not trust their bodies.



If children live with the belief that it’s not okay to ever feel poorly .... they will misunderstand the role of symptoms in their body and will forever be looking to quiet the symptoms, instead of listening to what the symptoms are telling them and taking care of the cause of the problem.


If children live with a pill or potion for every little ailment .... they learn to turn to drugs to solve life’s problems.


If children live with subluxation ....they will not be able to learn and grow and interact on the same level they would if their body were functioning with no interference.


If children live with a knowledge of true health .... they learn that feeling good and being healthy are not the same thing.


If children live with healthy habits .... they learn to care for their bodies.


If children live with faith in the innate intelligence of their body .... they learn to trust their body .... they learn that they don’t have to fear or cover up every ache, pain or symptom .... they learn that their body is very smart and knows what it’s doing, when it is allowed to function with no interference.


If children live with regular Chiropractic adjustments .... they learn that they have an awesome potential for life and health which can be expressed fully, if there is no interference.


Every day we shape the habits and future health of our children by what we teach them and how we live.
