Why the Name Change?That's a wonderful question; one that deserves a wonderful answer. We changed our name because we have evolved (and continue to evolve). Our evolution has taken place over several years and has occurred in our marriage, our family, our focus, our thinking, and ultimately, in our chiropractic practice. We are no longer content with just surviving. We cannot allow ourselves and our family to do just enough to get by. We want so much MORE! And we want that for you, too!
The time has come for us, as a community, to shift our focus from surviving to THRIVING. Our focus needs to go from getting through the day, to "giving to the day" - from "how am I going to make it to tomorrow?" to "how can I get the most out of LIFE today?"
It has been said that the best defense is a good offense. Well, we feel that Americans have been playing defense for long enough. It's time to start playing offense. It's time to let go of the mindset that holds you in bondage; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The mindset that tells you that the path to health is paved with AVOIDANCE (avoid the flu, avoid a cold, avoid heart disease, etc.) and TREATMENT (treat your symptoms, treat a cold, treat a fever) is a mindset that leaves you feeling weak, disempowered, and powerless. This mindset (and all the messages that feed into it) operates on the premise that your body is inherently weak and dysfunctional. That it is incapable of expressing outrageous health on it's own. Instead, the mindset tells you that you need this, that, and the other outside-in medication, vaccination, treatmetnt, etc. The problem with this mindset, however, is that it is WRONG!
Your body is NOT inherently weak and defective. It does NOT need outside-in interventions to express outrageous health and happiness. Instead, it needs more of what is already IN YOU! You were created to be healthy. In fact, HEALTH IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! You already possess all of the intelligence and power to heal your wounds, digest your food, beat your hearts, take air in through your lungs, move your muscles, and create life. When your body is performing all of its functions at a minimal level (with or without the help of medications, therapies, and treatments) you are surviving. BUT, when your body is performing all of these functions, AND you are experiencing more energy, better sleep, more vitality, a stronger immune system, clearer thoughts, happier and more loving emotions, a more positive outlook on life, and better relationships with your family, friends and coworkers YOU ARE THRIVING!
We want to see people do better than survive; we want to help them THRIVE! That is why we changed our name. Because we believe that when more and more people are THRIVING, families will be stronger. When more and more families are stronger, our community will be a better place. When more and more communities are full of people that are THRIVING and strong famillies, our state will be a better place to live. When more and more states are full of communities that are peaceful and full of energetic, THRIVING people and strong families, our country will be a better place. And just imagine what this world would be like if the United States of America was full of states, communities, families, and individuals that made the decision to do more than just survive and "get through the day." Instead, they chose to THRIVE and "give back to the day!"
