OH....SURPRISE!!

Ever play with one of those toys as a kid that gave you complete control over the outcome. Slide the marble down the shoot and it would hit a bell, aim your dart gun at the rabbit and bing...ya hit it? Don't you wish it was that easy to know the outcome of everything? Do you ever wish you had a peak into even the next few weeks so you could better make decisions? Boy, I do.

The other day I was sitting in my office, just had finished my coffee and deciding what the Top 5 on my "TO DO" list would be for the day, when the phone rang. It changed the entire day. Like a Jack in the Box, life is unpredictable. You never really know when something unexpected will pop up. So we just keep cranking away unaware don't we? As you may have guessed by now, I am passionate about taking your health seriously. How many people have you known that didn't, and all of a sudden had a major health condition suddenly pop up? It's so easy to neglect our responsibility when it comes to our health.

Humor me while I step up on this soap box__/------\__
No one knows how you feel, what you eat, what activity you do, how happy or sad you are, how stressed or worried you are better than YOU DO! Make your doctor a part of your own, hand picked, health mastermind team. A mastermind team is a group of individuals with a common goal---Your Health. Add a good nutritionist, a massage therapist, a financial counselor, a chiropractor, a psych therapist, a religious guru, a holisitc health nurse, a dentist, eye doctor, music therapist, hearing specialist....you get what I am saying?? It takes a team of individuals, including YOURSELF, to make your life as long and healthy as possible. Without your health, life changes dramatically. Don't just keep crankin' like nothing will happen because your doctor said you are ok.
I'm not saying that Jack won't pop up and scare you from time to time, but the more people you have helping you stay on the track to wellness....the better.

Stay Healthy!!

*ALERT* Brain Stress*

When we are frightened or angry, the blood vessels in our body contract and limit the flow of blood to our extremities. This is known as vasoconstriction, which is our automatic response to stress. Now you may not consider your brain to be an extremity but it is. Ahhhhhh so that is why we have difficulty thinking straight when we are scared or mad??? Absolutely!!Your forebrain-the pre-frontal cortex, where our rational thought, planning, and execution occur just shuts down. That's when your mid brain takes over. That is your primal/animal section of the brain. Very "reactive" and driven by emotion. That allows the outer layer of your body to become like armor. Unless an artery is struck, you won't bleed very much. It was for going into a fight. We used to fight off predators and other humans for food etc. Your muscles are affected as well, only they become less moveable and you may loose some fine motor control. Like if you need to write your name or button a shirt or zip your coat it would be more difficult. Now I just learned something interesting about this stress reaction from the military standpoint. We realize they are in a different type of stress than we are because they are in life threatening stress much more often. If the level of stress continues they loose their ability to hear and they get tunnel vision. This would be like looking through a paper towel tube. Isn't that strange?? It gives you a HUGE wake up call about stress and how it affects us.

Now you see how it physically affects us, but do you realize in the every day life we live that this type or extent of stress causes illness?? I have personally reviewed thousands of individuals medical history and the disturbing thing I have learned is that stress puts you and I at risk for cancer and other illnesses. Do you know someone that has had cancer? Think about them for a minute. What was their life before they were diagnosed? Was is full of too much of something? Did they run themselves ragged for a reason? Did they encounter any depressing or discouraging situation on a regular basis that was too much to handle?? I would say YES.

Stress on your brain, causes illness if you have no way to get away from it. SO now that you understand the problems of stress and the risks to your health, let me ask you...do you suffer from too much stress on a regular basis? Do you have a way to get away from it?? Do you have someone who can teach you what you need to know?? I am a holistic nurse and I am here and ready to speak to you about your situation. Don't wait. Contact me now so that you can get on the path to wellness BEFORE the stress causes more damage. We all have stress. Everyone learns how to deal with it by our past experience. If that doesn't work for you then let me help you learn something new.
