I was in church all the time, serving my community, doing prison ministry work and loving every minute of sharing the Good News of Jesus. I went on to college with the fire of my faith still burning. As many more years of college went on, my fire started to loose spark. Marriage, three kids, business owner, doctor, author, and speaker. Wow … God's hand was in all of it. My spark was still there but that fire had diminished.  

Today I was taken back to some good ol' memories where I had an encounter with God when I was 16. If you are reading this, I want to take you back to when you first encountered God. See in Psalm 77:11 (ESV) it states, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will retell Your miracles of long ago." God healed me from my sickness years ago and today I want to remind you He can heal you, too.

Don't let others steal your joy!

When it comes to achieving your health goals – "Comparison is the Thief of Joy."

A "healthy lifestyle" looks different for everybody. Just as our bodies differ in shape, size, and composition, so do our lifestyles. Optimum health and weight will look very different for one person than it does for another and comparing ourselves is the first mistake we make in trying to achieve a more active, productive, and happier life.

Are you guilty of comparing yourself to others?

As soon as you start to turn inward and look at YOUR lifestyle, YOUR goals, and YOUR experience, it can be refreshing to realize that nobody is responsible for your body or for your life other than you! Taking the reins can seem difficult when people around us are all going about their daily lives, seemingly completely oblivious to our struggles.

But therein lies the truth of it - everyone is going through their own journey and everyone is at different stages of this journey. Who are you to judge or look at them?

Comparison only leads to discontent and negative emotions, so do your best to stop with the comparison. Focus on YOU and remember You are what God says you are.

Working out

Workin out is one of my weaknesses. So, I like to keep this Scripture by my side. "For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10 (ESV)

As soon as we master the mentality of the "rest day," we can really begin to see the benefits of a regular fitness practice. Giving your body a chance to recharge, rest, and absorb the benefits of having moved for several days in a row in ways that you might not be used to moving it, pushing it slightly further than it might be used to - that's when the "rest" becomes actual rest, and not just a guilty day off. There is no guilt in taking care of your body.

When is the last time you took a rest day?

Becoming accountable for our body is so important. Setting goals is one thing, but really taking it upon ourselves to actually follow through on them and take responsibility for our body is key to achieving any of them.

Our bodies take responsibility for so much, leaving us with space to enjoy and experience life. The least we can do is take care of what we put into them and how much we move them. Being grateful for this and realizing how fortunate we are in having these things is key to maintaining health and happiness.

In the end, it all comes down to moving your body in whatever way feels good for you and fits your lifestyle. Setting goals is great and is an effective way of clarifying what we want in order to begin. But I've always found that it's the way to achieving whatever goal I've set myself that I realize how much I enjoy simply getting there.

Poor health prevents us from enjoying everything else that life has to offer. Without our health, all other aspects of life are dulled. What things could you remove from your life that would help you more effectively achieve your goals?

Whether it's ten or fifteen minutes, two hours, or even just a minute of becoming aware of yourself, before you choose an unhealthy meal, make the time for fitness.

Make the time for health.

Your friends and family will thank you as they'll get to spend time with a healthier, happier you.

Your body will thank you. It will be stronger and able to experience more!

Having support as you complete your transformation is crucial for success. Making dietary changes is never easy which is why having a strong support system in place is so important. I encourage all of you to keep in touch with me as your journey continues.

Dr. Corinne Weaver is a compassionate upper cervical chiropractor, educator, motivational speaker, mother of three, and internationally bestselling author. In 2004, she founded the Upper Cervical Wellness Center in Indian Trail, North Carolina. Over the last 13 years, she has helped thousands of clients restore their brain to-body function. When she was 10 years old, she lost her own health as the result of a bike accident that led to having asthma and allergy issues that she thought she would always have to endure. Then, after her first upper cervical adjustment at age 21, her health began to improve thanks to upper cervical care and natural herbal remedies. This enabled her to create a drug-free wellness lifestyle for herself and her family, and she also enthusiastically discovered her calling to help children heal naturally.

Dr. Weaver was named one of Charlotte Magazine's "Top Doctors" in 2016 and is now a number-one internationally bestselling author to two books: Learning How to Breathe and No More Meds. 

Upper Cervical Wellness Center is known for finding the root cause of health concerns through lifestyle changes, diagnostic testing, nutraceutical supplementation, and correction of subluxation (as opposed to just medicating the symptoms). The practice offers cutting-edge technological care at its state-of-the-art facility, including laser-aligned upper cervical X-rays, bioimpedance analysis (measures body composition), digital thermography (locates thermal abnormalities characterized by skin inflammation), and complete nutritional blood analysis, which is focused on disease prevention.
