Doing What You Love and Loving What You Do

demartini Doing What You Love and Loving What You DoImagine for just a moment what it would be like to do exactly what you would love and love exactly what you do in life and get handsomely or beautifully paid to do it. Imagine the surge of energy and inspiration you would feel living and fulfilling such a state. Now imagine what it would be like to drag yourself out of bed each morning with a brake on and dead weights sitting on your shoulders because you have to go to work doing something you dread. There is a big difference isn’t there? Is it really possible to do something you truly love? I believe this is not only possible, but it is perfectly ‘do-able’.

There are two approaches that will assist you in creating a more inspiring career, or the one of your dreams.

First:

In order to do what you love you must first learn to love and appreciate what you do. If you don’t appreciate the job or daily duties you presently have you will certainly not function from your full potential. Your gas tank will be running on near empty. Opportunities are less likely to arise or become provided when you are half alive. Until you put your heart and soul into everything you do don’t expect to create or attract greater opportunities to do what you love. Why would you attract opportunities to do greater careers when you haven’t managed the one your have? Why would a company promote you if you have not done an outstanding job where you are? When you do more than what is expected of you, you increase the probability of creating greater opportunities. Below, are five action steps you can take that will help you love what you do.

A: Acquire a piece of plain white paper.

B: Tri-fold this paper long ways so that there are three equally wide columns.

C: Write on the left one third of this piece of paper a list of your present daily job duties or responsibilities.

D: Write on the right one third of this piece of paper a list of your most inspiring values, mission, goals, or objectives.

E: Write on the middle one third of this piece of paper a final list of at least 7 ways in which each of these job duties or responsibilities you are presently doing are helping you achieve your values, mission, goals or objectives.

At first you may imagine that the present job duties are interfering with your goals, but a deeper look will help you see that they are helping you in many ways to develop valuable traits or special talents needed in your life for the fulfillment of your true values, mission, goals and objectives. Wisdom is discovering that everything you experience and do can serve your purpose. Now, keep making that list, expand your mind beyond any previous limitations until you can truly see how what you are presently doing is a magnificent blessing. This will raise your energy level, confidence, self-worth and creativity. This will infuse vitality back into your daily life, and make you radiate a new enthusiasm for what you are doing. This is the best state to be in to attract new career opportunities and leads.

Second:

Now, it is time to dream a little and initiate a plan of what you would love to do. To fail to plan is to plan to fail. Masters of life focus on the ever-finer details of their master plan. They leave little to chance. If you don’t plant flowers in your mental garden you will forever pull weeds. If you don’t decide what you would truly love to do, you will end up living out someone else’s vocational dreams. Your career dreams are up to you. So get out another few pieces of paper or your computer and start planning. Ask the following seven questions. The quality of your life is based upon the quality of the questions you ask yourself.

A. What would you absolutely love to do? What are you perfectly designed to do? What are you great at doing? What inspires you?

B. How could you become handsomely or beautifully paid to do it? How can you do this in such a way that others will value it, pay you for it, and will want to support you or invest in you? What are all the ways you could receive financial compensation for doing this?

C. What are the seven highest priority actions you could do today and then each succeeding day that would help you bring this loving career into reality? What are the action steps that will bring about this career opportunity?

D. What obstacles could you run into and how do you solve them in advance? What are your contingency plans in case of setbacks? What are your alternative pathways of doing this?

E. How can you fulfill or accomplish this career path more effectively and efficiently? Who in your network do you know that could assist?

F. How could whatever you experience whether supportive or challenging serve you?

By asking the above questions you will stimulate your brain, capitalize on your mind’s creativity and begin building that long overdue master career plan. If you don’t plan and then act, it is even more unlikely that you will ever do what you love. You have this accountability. Once you begin designing your master plan you will begin noticing the many supportive opportunities that surround you. By working toward what you love you make what you love work towards you. When you plan with your heart and soul and patiently persevere with your mind and body you can first learn to love what you do and second begin to do what you love. Yes it is possible!

Love and Wisdom,
Dr. John Demartini

Chiropractic and diabetes – The connection between blood sugar and the spine

spine1 Chiropractic and diabetes   The connection between blood sugar and the spine(NaturalNews) The possibility for chiropractic care to help people with diabetes is an up and coming area of research, and it is an important one. Roughly one out of every three men and two out of every five women born in the year 2000 will suffer from diabetes in their lifetime.

Research points to evidence that chiropractic care may make a valuable contribution to a wellness protocol that helps those diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes is the fifth deadliest disease in the United States and a growing epidemic worldwide, so help is desperately needed!

The average person may not recognize how diabetes and chiropractic are connected. What does the back have to do with blood sugar? Often, an electrician understands this faster than most people. Interfere with the current flowing through the wires and the appliances or areas of the house lose normal function or might even catch fire.

If the nerve supply from the upper neck or middle back (the two areas that supply the pancreas) are disturbed, pancreatic function suffers; maybe in it’s ability to produce enzymes to digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates, or maybe insulin production, or both. Blood sugar and digestion become unbalanced, resulting in either in diabetes or hypoglycemia.

Studies suggest a chiropractic-spine-nerve-blood sugar connection

A study published in theJournal of Vertebral Subluxation Researchillustrated the positive effects of chiropractic when used as part of an integrative treatment for adult onset diabetes diagnosed by a medical doctor. Along with chiropractic care, the patient also received nutritional and exercise guidance.

After one month of being on the program, the patient’s glucose blood and urine levels normalized and remained stable. His medical doctor, who monitored his progress, said the patient would not need insulin if the condition remained stable.

Canada is currently leading the research effort

TheNational Postreported: “DIABETES BREAKTHROUGH: In a discovery that has stunned even those behind it, scientists at a Toronto hospital say they have proof the body’s nervous system helps trigger diabetes, opening the door to a potential near-cure of the disease that affects millions of Canadians. Diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after researchers injected a substance to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas.

‘I couldn’t believe it,’ said Dr. Michael Salter, a pain expert at the Hospital for Sick Children. ‘Mice with diabetes suddenly didn’t have diabetes any more.’ The excitement of the team from Sick Kids, whose work is being published today in the journalCell, is almost palpable.

A recent case study published in the November 2011 edition of theJournal of Pediatric, Maternal, & Family Healthdocuments a case of a four-year-old child who had terrific results stabilizing her blood sugar through chiropractic care. The patient was diagnosed with spinal subluxation in the upper cervical region. She began chiropractic care and was seen a total of 24 times over a two-month period. During this two-month period, she experienced a decrease in hemoglobin A1C from 7.2 percent to 6.5 percent. She also decreased the amount of insulin used from 15 units to 11 units per day.

These results are quite remarkable because the literature states that intensive medical treatment of type I diabetes often does not succeed in lowering A1C levels under 7.0 percent. Chiropractic care works by optimizing the neural connections throughout the body. This enhanced brain-body connection works to better coordinate immunity and hormone function throughout the body.

Natural ways to support healthy cholesterol levels

cholesterol Natural ways to support healthy cholesterol levelsAre you concerned about cholesterol? About 1 out of every 6 American adults may have elevated blood levels of LDL “bad” cholesterol. When you have too much of this necessary, fat-like substance in your blood, it can build up on your artery walls and put you at greater risk for more serious heart conditions. Sadly, there are no symptoms that suggest your cholesterol levels may not be in a normal range. And many people have never even had their cholesterol checked.

In addition to targeted lifestyle changes, here are some nutrients that you may be surprised to find can also help maintain healthy levels of LDL cholesterol:

  • Plant sterols. Research has shown that plant sterols inhibit intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol (meat, dairy) and cholesterol produced within the body itself. But it may be hard to reach the recommended 2 grams (2,000 mg) daily through dietary measures alone. For example, a 1-oz. serving of almonds, 1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, and 2 slices of rye bread added together provide only 100 mg of plant sterols.
  • Red yeast rice. Monascus pupureus is yeast grown on rice that is part of the everyday diet in many Asian countries. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for a number of usesincluding support for blood circulation.
  • Vitamin K2. You may be familiar with this nutrient’s role in bone formation and reduction of bone loss. It’s also the form of vitamin K that’s been shown to help protect against oxidation of LDL cholesterol caused by free radicals. (Oxidized LDL can lead to inflammation, tissue damage, and plaque buildup in the arteries.) *Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Fish oils are often recommended to support healthy blood lipid levels (cholesterol, triglycerides) and overall health.
