Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet

As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

Natural oil finishes date back many centuries Some natural oilsused on wood include linseed oil tung oil and walnut oil Oliveoil almond oil and coconut oil are also effective or small woodrestoration projects although these ood-grade oils may be a littleexpensive or large projects Chinese crafsmen have been using
tung oil produced by pressing the leaves o the tung tree or mthan 1000 years to seal wood and masonry suraces Sixtecentury English crafsmen used linseed oil obtained rom
dried ripened seeds rom the flax plant a cereal grain Naturfinishes work by penetrating the wood grain surace and oxing with exposure to air orming a hard sealed protective wsurace Tis is different rom a conventional polyurethan

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr

my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

Natural oil finishes date back many centuries Some natural oilsused on wood include linseed oil tung oil and walnut oil Oliveoil almond oil and coconut oil are also effective or small woodrestoration projects although these ood-grade oils may be a littleexpensive or large projects Chinese crafsmen have been using

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season

Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean

bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Understandingosteopathic
manipulativetreatment andlow back painPlus 9 tips to reduce oreliminate your low back painBy Tracy Bretl DO
Low back pain has historically beenthe most common reason or visitsto osteopathic physicians A distinc-
tive element o care provided by osteo-pathic physicians is osteopathic manipu-lative treatment (OM) Te osteopathic
physician can treat low back pain withconventional approaches along with OM
OM is defined as ldquoTe therapeuticapplication o manually guided orces byan osteopathic physician to improve physi-ologic unction andor support homeo-stasis that has been altered by somaticdysunction OM employs a varietyo techniquesrdquo Somatic dysunction isdefined as ldquoImpaired or altered unctiono related components o the somatic(body ramework) system skeletal arthro-dial and myoascial structures and theirrelated vascular lymphatic and neuralelements Somatic dysunction is treatableusing osteopathic manipulative treatmentrdquo
A study was perormed to evaluate theefficacy o OM low back pain by osteo-pathic physicians and osteopathic practi-tioners trained in osteopathic palpatorydiagnosis and OM Te literature wassearched or appropriate trials Six trials
were included containing a total o 525subjects with low back pain wo inde-pendent reviewers collected data on trialmethods OM control treatments andlow back pain outcomes
Te results clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant reduction in lowback pain In addition OM comparedto the no-treatment control showed painreductions twice as great as previouslyound in clinical trials o placebo (ake)treatment compared to the no-treatmentcontrol Te results also showed that OMprovides pain relie comparable to nonste-roidal anti-inflammatory drugs Tey alsoshowed OM significantly reduced painduring the three-month to twelve-monthperiod ollowing one study Tus OM orlow back pain may eliminate or reduce theneed or pain medication reducing poten-tial side effects in the short- intermediate-and long-term
Because osteopathic physicians provideconventional treatment along with OMreerrals and the cost o additional treat-ment may be avoided Te study alsoound that no harm has been identifiedin randomized clinical trials on OM or
subjects with low back pain OMsomatic dysunction has not demonstrharm in any clinical trials to date
Once somatic dysunction is ounbe the cause or a contributing actor toback pain OM should be perormed
diagnosis o somatic dysunction incla history and physical examinaincluding an osteopathic structural exnation to evaluate abnormalities in motion and the muscles and connetissues OM is used once other potecauses or low back pain are ruled ouconsidered improbable such as racor dislocation o a vertebrae muscle tligament rupture masses or organ disreerring pain to the low back

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season

Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

ldquoOut with the old in with the newrdquo mdashLee Dougla
Jessica Lamb-Shapiro author o ldquoPromised Land My Jouthrough Americarsquos Sel-Help Culturerdquo wrote an interesting arentitled ldquoNew Yearrsquos Resolutions are Bad or You mdash For a BIdea Look to the Ancient Babyloniansrdquo In this article Shasays that the practice o making resolutions dates back to anBabylon Babylonians made practical promises to their godthe new year Teir promises were typically simple concretehighly achievable An example would be committing to reborrowed arm equipment back to their original owners
Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends

fitness andnutritionBy Kamala McCormick
W
e are told that we should take increased care o ourbodies during pregnancy but this level o concern dropsoff afer pregnancy Postpartum is a new beginning
Te average woman gains a little over 30 pounds during preg-nancy 20 pounds make up the weight o the baby the placenta andincreased maternal tissues and fluids Te additional 10 pounds is at
Health problems are more easily prevented than treated mdashso how do we prevent health problems Te average Americanwoman is 5 eet 4 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds Approxi-mately 35 million women are considered obese (or 20 percentabove their ideal body weight) Our treatment efforts are unsuc-cessul Our only solution is prevention
Good news I you are pregnant have just delivered or arethinking about becoming pregnant the time afer delivery is thebest time ever or you to lose weight Tis is true no matter what
you weigh how old you are how many children you have or whatyour weight loss track record has been
How can this be trueAfer delivery your postpartum body is not only ready to helpyou but it leads the way and continues to or approximately six tonine months Te first 90 days are the most effective
Tink o it this way Postpartum is not the afermath itrsquos abeginning Your own body becomes your greatest weight lossbecause spectacular things are happening deep inside pernatural weight loss
At approximately the fifh postpartum day sudden chatake place inside you Each subsequent change is better and mbeneficial than the previous one ogether they work beautand effectively to create weight loss

progesterone and insulin) interact in a totally new waysuppresses your appetite Tese hormones also fight the amulation o any new at deposits
2 Leptin a at-burning hormone can actually raise metabolism
3 Your metabolism is higher now than it was beore you pregnant
So by paying attention to your nutrition and activity you canthe weight gained during pregnancy and even additional weBut should this weight loss really matter
O course Consider the health risk i you donrsquot lose this weheart disease extra weight around the midsection back painexcess body at equal increased risk o disease and cancer Bugood news is that like a good investment losing weight afer dery also pays you a huge lielong health dividend
Te key is that these hormones are altered immediately delivery As your child leaves your body ollowed by the exsion o the placenta your estrogen and progesterone hormall to all-time lows while your weight loss ortunes rise totime highs With that your appetite diminishes as does ability to accumulate new body at (around the fifh day)

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet

As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening

ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

We all have a sense o what the word ldquomindrdquo meansIt usually means something about thinking using
various mental skills such as analysis or problem-solving or being taught or learning new skills However thereis another definition o mind it has a much more expansivemeaning and it has a role in our healing rom emotional difficul-ties Tis mind is natural mind
ldquoNatural mindrdquo is a term originally used by Carl Jung to describea mind that emanates purely rom nature It is beyond the usualdefinitions because it is the mind we used since the beginningo our existence it is what kept us aware when we lived close tothe earth For example imagine you have been walking down a
amiliar path in the orest and you reach a clearing that has a clearspring running through it It is a beautiul place that you havealways loved But today the sun has reached the point in the skywhere the entire space is bathed in a beautiul red light Suddenlyyou realize that you have never experienced this level o beautybeore Te light even dances on the bubbling waters o the springSomething releases inside o you mdash an inner healing Notice thatin this experience there has been no analysis no problem solvingno need or new skills only natural mind
You finish your journey and arrive at home You find thatlanguage cannot help you share the experience it is beyondwords Te next day afer a night o very pleasant dreams youdecide to paint the scene as best you can and you get out materialsand try your best to capture the moment Your work is successuland you like what you have produced Natural mind has broughtthe healing ull circle
Imagesexperience leads to inner healing which leads tocreative action which then leads to lie change
O course we donrsquot ofen immediately understand the healingimages because natural mind speaks in an old language thelanguage o archetypes
Archetypes are symbols o great power and they carry
tremendous healing energy Tey emerge spontaneously natural mind aware body and awakened spirit mdash the hetriad Tey are ound in all cultures and all times Because o unique power they have a personal healing orce or each oTink or a moment about this orce and how it works
Each o us has our own healing archetypes Te discovery o tthen becomes a major lie journey Tey can be ound in expences as in the example above and they put us on the healing described above
Archetypes almost always want to be represented in arorms painted sculpted danced written in music and popresented in novels and films created in sand pictures and jew
written in countless stories which have lasted or thousandyears and pictured in the cave walls o antiquity Te meaningthereore the energy that are held captive in them do not get o
Natural mind opens the door to these images and heaenergy Here is how this works Letrsquos pretend the above story omagical coloring o the clearing appeared in a dream o yoursawaken with the sense that this is an important even a prooevent in your lie Te image is so powerul that you talk abowith your spiritual guide As you explore the images you bto realize you have never even started to look at your abilireally appreciate nature and its beauty With the precision timor the right issue which natural mind always demonstratesrealize that you may now view experiences in nature with level o personal investment Te magically lit clearing dreamnow become a healing archetype or you natural mind has guyour healing journey

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

Yearrsquos resolutionsfor 2015By Jill Greinke
ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

ldquoOut with the old in with the newrdquo mdashLee Dougla
Jessica Lamb-Shapiro author o ldquoPromised Land My Jouthrough Americarsquos Sel-Help Culturerdquo wrote an interesting arentitled ldquoNew Yearrsquos Resolutions are Bad or You mdash For a BIdea Look to the Ancient Babyloniansrdquo In this article Shasays that the practice o making resolutions dates back to anBabylon Babylonians made practical promises to their godthe new year Teir promises were typically simple concretehighly achievable An example would be committing to reborrowed arm equipment back to their original owners
Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y

OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

GET COOKING Another way to fill theday is to have children participate in making
meals A snow day is a great time to premeals or the rest o the week as wetinker with hearty belly-filling recOlder children can help with cutting vtables and meats while younger kidsadd seasonings to pots and mix ingrediInvolve the kids in choosing which meacook Baking bread is another un actand enables kids to sculpt dough and eat the ruits o their labors
GO TO THE MOVIES I roads are able consider a trip to the movie thwhere you can enjoy a matinee Bring ariends along and make it a un-filled ou
CREATE SNOW ART Fill squeezsquirt bottles with some water and coloring Allow kids to go out in the and create some pictures with the snotheir canvas

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

ldquoOh promises their kind o promises can just destroy a liehellip Oh promises those kind o promises take all the joy rom liehellip Oh promises promises my kind o promises can lead to joy and hopeand love yes loverdquo mdashldquoPromises Promisesrdquo written by Hal Davidand perormed by Dionne Warwick
Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings
SpringSpring is a season o rebirth and renewal when pleasant weahas both people and pets eager to get outdoors again Howcertain springtime dangers may be lurking and it takeinormed pet owner to keep animals sae

Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr

as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings

Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Jessica Lamb-Shapiro author o ldquoPromised Land My Jouthrough Americarsquos Sel-Help Culturerdquo wrote an interesting arentitled ldquoNew Yearrsquos Resolutions are Bad or You mdash For a BIdea Look to the Ancient Babyloniansrdquo In this article Shasays that the practice o making resolutions dates back to anBabylon Babylonians made practical promises to their godthe new year Teir promises were typically simple concretehighly achievable An example would be committing to reborrowed arm equipment back to their original owners
Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

But just because snow days are unex-pected that does not mean parents canrsquotplan or them
ESTABLISH A SNOW DAY PLAN
Parents who cannot take days off romwork will need a contingency plan orsnow days Organize a snow day clubwherein school parents rotate taking chil-dren or the day Working parents canreciprocate by taking the school kids on aweekend and letting the other parents havedate nights

GET COOKING Another way to fill theday is to have children participate in making
meals A snow day is a great time to premeals or the rest o the week as wetinker with hearty belly-filling recOlder children can help with cutting vtables and meats while younger kidsadd seasonings to pots and mix ingrediInvolve the kids in choosing which meacook Baking bread is another un actand enables kids to sculpt dough and eat the ruits o their labors

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it

Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Caring or pets is sometimes compared to raising chil-dren Tough the two are not exactly the same there aresimilarities between raising a child and caring or a pet
Like curious kids earless pets may not understand the potentialhazards around them and some o these dangers differ dependingon the season
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likelyto venture outdoors Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselvesofen cannot avoid the ice and snow Tese conditions can putpets at risk
As with humans animals are susceptible to hypothermia androstbite When the weather is cold pets should not remainoutdoors without shelter or extended periods o time Te
Humane Society o the United States advises that exposed skinoses ears and paw pads can quickly reeze and suffer permadamage Dogs and cats are saer and warmer indoors
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irrpet paws When the animal then licks irritated paws the chcals can be transerred to the tongue and mouth Rinse paws dogs come in rom walks or use protective booties to keepcovered Limit the amount o products you use to melt sopting or sand or cat litter or traction
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it tor pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete energy stores Compensate by giving pets a little more oodwater in the winter
Pets may be attracted to automotive antireeze due to its ssmell and taste But antireeze can be toxic Coolants and reeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets wiland even human beings

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Jan 1 is the first day o the new year on the Gregorian calen-dar For many this holiday symbolizes a clean slate and thepossibility o starting anew Many people create sel-goals
called resolutions in the period leading up to the new year ldquoTeop 10 Commonly Broken New Yearrsquos Resolutionsrdquo on IMEcombegins with promises as captured in the song ldquoPromises Prom-isesrdquo Te article cites the top 10 examples o Americanrsquos New

Jessica Lamb-Shapiro author o ldquoPromised Land My Jouthrough Americarsquos Sel-Help Culturerdquo wrote an interesting arentitled ldquoNew Yearrsquos Resolutions are Bad or You mdash For a BIdea Look to the Ancient Babyloniansrdquo In this article Shasays that the practice o making resolutions dates back to anBabylon Babylonians made practical promises to their godthe new year Teir promises were typically simple concretehighly achievable An example would be committing to reborrowed arm equipment back to their original owners
Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

But just because snow days are unex-pected that does not mean parents canrsquotplan or them
ESTABLISH A SNOW DAY PLAN
Parents who cannot take days off romwork will need a contingency plan orsnow days Organize a snow day clubwherein school parents rotate taking chil-dren or the day Working parents canreciprocate by taking the school kids on aweekend and letting the other parents havedate nights

GET COOKING Another way to fill theday is to have children participate in making
meals A snow day is a great time to premeals or the rest o the week as wetinker with hearty belly-filling recOlder children can help with cutting vtables and meats while younger kidsadd seasonings to pots and mix ingrediInvolve the kids in choosing which meacook Baking bread is another un actand enables kids to sculpt dough and eat the ruits o their labors

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Shapiro argues that today resolutions are ldquopsychologicnaturerdquo Tey are goals that we set or ourselves And more othan not they are lofy and non-measureable Such goals are cult i not impossible to achieve Shapiro believes that those to nonspecific sel-promises can actually complicate onersquos lielead to a downward spiral ending with an addiction to sel-helother words people can set themselves up or ailure or worsecreate even bigger problems or themselves than they started

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

But just because snow days are unex-pected that does not mean parents canrsquotplan or them
ESTABLISH A SNOW DAY PLAN

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

As human beings we are ofen creatures o habit We consciouslycreate some o our reality but unortunately orm most o ourreality unconsciously A lot o what we create stems rom behav-ioral habits Sometimes those habits once helped us in some waybut now have become negative or us For instance a person over-eats or sel-comort because that is what helped them throughdifficult times in the past From a positive perspective overeat-ing can make a person eel good or a short period o time Butrom a negative perspective eating too much ood too ofen leadsto health problems mdash both physical and mental Using ood tocomort onersquos sel also covers up hidden emotions and eelings(sadness loneliness pain etc) that cause a person to overeat inthe first place
From a deep perspective the need to comort onersquos sel stemsrom negative eelings that need to be made conscious Becomingconscious o onersquos own negativities is a challenge that many indi-
viduals donrsquot want to ace It seems easier to stick with old habitsbecause they eel sae And so the cycle o habitual unconsciousbehaviors continue
ldquoTe promises o this world are or the most part vain phantomsand to confide in onersquos sel and become something o worth andvalue is the best and saest courserdquo mdashMichelagelo
When I work with my clients in counseling and coaching Iteach approaches that help build a personrsquos spiritual resourcesOnce my clients have that inner oundation they have theability to deal with any ldquovain phantomsrdquo that come their wayOnce they shed light on their inner demons they can trans-orm them rom phantoms to messengers that are telling themldquoIt is time to ace your ears and let go o what is holding youback it is time to move orward to change and to transormonersquos consciousnessrdquo
So i you set New Yearrsquos resolutions this year make sure youhave a oundation o courage in order to make them happen Andremember lie mdash with all its idiosyncrasies makes us who we areWe all have value and worth despite our perceived weaknesseswe are all capable o setting measurable goals or ourselves even ithey seem mundane o do so is part o the ull expression o love
joy and hope Happy New Year everyone

But just because snow days are unex-pected that does not mean parents canrsquotplan or them
ESTABLISH A SNOW DAY PLAN
Parents who cannot take days off romwork will need a contingency plan orsnow days Organize a snow day clubwherein school parents rotate taking chil-dren or the day Working parents canreciprocate by taking the school kids on aweekend and letting the other parents havedate nights

GET COOKING Another way to fill theday is to have children participate in making
meals A snow day is a great time to premeals or the rest o the week as wetinker with hearty belly-filling recOlder children can help with cutting vtables and meats while younger kidsadd seasonings to pots and mix ingrediInvolve the kids in choosing which meacook Baking bread is another un actand enables kids to sculpt dough and eat the ruits o their labors

As you are watching your ldquomovierdquo heareverything you will hear Incorporate theappropriate location and direction the
sounds come rom I it is a loud sound
hear how loud or sof it is Hear the soundsboth internally and externally whenapplicable

Feel the emotionsI what you will accomplish makes you sohappy you will cry eel that emotion andcry I you are laughing laugh I you arerelaxed be relaxed
You already know some o the emotionsyou will experience upon maniesting yourdesired outcome Adding these emotionsis like taking a jet airplane to your destina-tion instead o walking Immerse yoursel in

Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

Tis drive or recognition and order eventually leads us backto ourselves o address our ear o chaos we learn first tobring order and discipline to our minds and emotions We findworthiness and appreciation by loving ourselves By continu-ing to listen to our inner soul voice we align our disciplinedthoughts and actions with our true spiritual goals and aspira-tions Applying the Capricorn values o ocus responsibilityand structure to our lives the world begins to see our soul andwe eel recognized and appreciated as a unique and consciousco-creator among co-creators

Additional support (current planetary transits)During January Mercury Venus and Mars are jumping aheadinto Aquarius thus prompting your mind heart and will toward
visionary possibilities or change and progress However Saturnruler o Capricorn is squaring (90 degrees) Neptune and chal-lenging you to have confidence to take decisive actions towardyour vision with heartelt compassion or everyone even thosewho oppose you
Te ull moon in Cancer on Jan 4 is opposite the Sun andPluto in Capricorn creating a -square with Uranus in AriesTe invitation here is to allow your eelings to bring awarenessto your relationship to power your own and others Are youusing your power to merely gain recognition and to stand outrom the crowd Do you look down on those who lack the willto use their power In todayrsquos complicated world what is yourauthentic power

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact

fitness andnutritionBy Kamala McCormick
W
e are told that we should take increased care o ourbodies during pregnancy but this level o concern dropsoff afer pregnancy Postpartum is a new beginning
Te average woman gains a little over 30 pounds during preg-nancy 20 pounds make up the weight o the baby the placenta andincreased maternal tissues and fluids Te additional 10 pounds is at
Health problems are more easily prevented than treated mdashso how do we prevent health problems Te average Americanwoman is 5 eet 4 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds Approxi-mately 35 million women are considered obese (or 20 percentabove their ideal body weight) Our treatment efforts are unsuc-cessul Our only solution is prevention
Good news I you are pregnant have just delivered or arethinking about becoming pregnant the time afer delivery is thebest time ever or you to lose weight Tis is true no matter what
you weigh how old you are how many children you have or whatyour weight loss track record has been
How can this be trueAfer delivery your postpartum body is not only ready to helpyou but it leads the way and continues to or approximately six tonine months Te first 90 days are the most effective
Tink o it this way Postpartum is not the afermath itrsquos abeginning Your own body becomes your greatest weight lossbecause spectacular things are happening deep inside pernatural weight loss
At approximately the fifh postpartum day sudden chatake place inside you Each subsequent change is better and mbeneficial than the previous one ogether they work beautand effectively to create weight loss

progesterone and insulin) interact in a totally new waysuppresses your appetite Tese hormones also fight the amulation o any new at deposits
2 Leptin a at-burning hormone can actually raise metabolism
3 Your metabolism is higher now than it was beore you pregnant
So by paying attention to your nutrition and activity you canthe weight gained during pregnancy and even additional weBut should this weight loss really matter
O course Consider the health risk i you donrsquot lose this weheart disease extra weight around the midsection back painexcess body at equal increased risk o disease and cancer Bugood news is that like a good investment losing weight afer dery also pays you a huge lielong health dividend
Te key is that these hormones are altered immediately delivery As your child leaves your body ollowed by the exsion o the placenta your estrogen and progesterone hormall to all-time lows while your weight loss ortunes rise totime highs With that your appetite diminishes as does ability to accumulate new body at (around the fifh day)

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ITrsquoS THE NEW YEAR ime to get up off that chair and get yourbooty moving again No more excuses
Itrsquos time to eel the difference mdash and you can with just one quickmove Your New Yearrsquos resolution to exercise more does not haveto entail extreme circumstances super-quick jumpy moves orflailing body parts Te key to effective exercise is awareness Inorder to cultivate awareness one has to start to move and eel atthe same time
Are you an active person who loves to play Tis is a great prac-tice move to help improve activities like cross-country skiingsnowshoeing and many other activities that require real lower-
body stability and strength Note Tis move is both challengingand mindully controlled speed will not win here
To get startedBrush up on your pelvic floor and deep-core awareness (pelvic-core) this zone is the key to all exercise and all movement ogive you a very short tutorial While working on a deep pelvicfloor contraction and deep transversus (our deepest torsocore muscle) imagine holding to go to the bathroom and at thesame time coughing Feel your entire core contract as you staycontracted in the pelvic floor
To beginClamp a mini exercise ball (or weighted ball) tightly behind onecal and hamstring keeping neutral pelvis (pubis bone and ante-rior superior iliac spine (ASIS) or ront hip bones parallel withthe wall you are acing) slowly hinge into yoursel Chair Pose onone oot align the knees to meet and the hips and torso to squareorward (Note A lack o hip stability will leave you crooked) ryusing your hands at the top o your pelvis to see i you are levelor not
Inhale in Chair Pose and as you exhale contracting your
pelvic-core raise the ball leg orward while lifing the opparm up Be mindul when you lif the leg orward to go onhigh as you can without collapsing your torso or tucking yourbone orward As you exhale and eel effective in the pelvic-contraction work to eel the base legrsquos gluteus maximus conas well (Note Itrsquos important to understand that the pelvic must contract first and then the glutes or all you are doindeath-squeezing the superficial muscle mdash the gluteus maxim
Work to ocus on lifing directly upward as though throughcrown o the head With a lack o gluteus stability and pelvic fland inner core support you will notice that you want to lean
to lifInhale and return back to a one-legged Chair Pose workin
bring the legs parallel with each other and work to keep the fling oot flexed
Continue to move mindully and slowly Tere is no need sthrough this movement as when you do the core muscleseasily be overlooked
ry using a mini ball to start to ocus on stability first and graduate to a weighted ball o 2 to 8 pounds
Repeat this series up to 10 times on each side and then go to the weaker side and revisit it or another possible 10 rouWorking a 2-to-1 ratio allows the weaker tissues and side to cup to the more dominant side
Good luck

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr

my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

The class
of changeBy Helen Borth
ldquoGod grant me the serenity to accept the peopleI cannot change the courage to change the one Ican and the wisdom to know itrsquos merdquo mdashAuthor unknown
What a powerul and truthul statement with its punch line rightat the end As much as we would like the other person or thecircumstance to do the changing it just doesnrsquot work that wayDid you have an ldquoahardquo moment with an invisible hit in your solarplexus when you read the words ldquoand the wisdom to know itrsquosmerdquo Tis is the last place most o us think to look It is difficult
during a consultation or some clients to stop saying that heshedid this to me or heshe said that Clients are surprised when theirpersonal story is given a time limit o five minutes Afer that itis suggested to leave names out o the discussion and ocus onthemselves
ldquoI you donrsquot like something change it i you canrsquot change it changethe way you think about itrdquo mdashMary Engelbreit
Most o us have trouble believing we can change a conditionalthinking pattern especially one that is held over or a long timeHere is an idea that is un (and it works) Using an optical illu-sion picture helps us to see how a shif or change happens insideour own head For example there is a surprise that happens in theoptical illusion picture o the head o a rabbit and a duck Teseare not separate pictures but one picture where the two show upwithin each other without a change on the paper When we lookat the picture one way itrsquos a rabbit Just wait a ew seconds andit automatically turns into a duck Nothing in the picture wasaltered Te sketch stayed the same Te change happened in onlyone place mdash in the mind Tis demonstrates that we do not haveto see a situation in only the way we believe it to be but we change
it by being willing to see it another way We are never lockedone perspective even when we think we are Tis is one waloosen up the thinking process to see more so we can incmore and then be more
ldquoContinuity gives us roots change gives us branches lettinstretch and grow and reach new heightsrdquo mdashPauline K K
Every person has the opportunity to reach new heights W
caught up in being too comortable with continuity When upected change does happen we end up in a tizzy that may llong time Itrsquos a lot more un to create change As a society wsaturated with internal images that are really within our abilimove surrender or even dissolve By welcoming change inso wishing things would stay the same gives our thinking musome exercise Remember the rabbitduck illusion remindinthere is always another way to perceive any image Stress hway o slowly evaporating when we look at lie rom ree flowbranches and less rom the pattern o anchored roots Whyconsider and contemplate the powerul words in this quotAudrey Hepburn ldquoNothing is impossible the word itsel sayspossiblerdquo
We will close with words rom Robert C Gallagher ldquoChaninevitable ndash except rom a vending machinerdquo Change can be un

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

finally clicked what was wrongrdquo Lucas says ldquoIt
was irrelevant to my goals and I wasnrsquot going
to let it bring me downrdquo
Little did he know at the time how many
people his diagnosis and more importantly his
positive attitude toward it would help
Meldy f Life Fundain In 2008 Lucas founded the Melody of Life

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

2 Get life insurance and have a will in placeTere are many affordable lie insurance plans available Beoreyou invest a dollar make sure you have a lie insurance policy Lie
insurance is not or you mdash itrsquos to provide financial protection oryour loved ones and replace your paycheck should you pass away
I you donrsquot yet have a will mdash even i yoursquore only in your 20s or30s mdash resolve to put one in place this year the sooner the betterWrite out instructions or your next-o-kin and keep them in asae place mdash where your next-o-kin can find them
3 Establish and build an emergency fundMost financial advisors recommend creating an emergency und(savings account or money market account where the money iseasily accessible) with three to six months o expenses (which youwrote down under Step 1 right)
Plan to put away a specific amount every month until you reachthe goal or your emergency und Once you have your emergencyund in place congratulate yoursel and celebrate
4 Match your employerrsquos contribution to your planDepending on the type o investment vehicle offered by youremployer see how much you can contribute to your 401(k) orother plan Most companies match 3 to 6 percent o your salaryTis money will grow tax deerred until you withdraw it Ideallyyou would wait until you retire or reach the age o 59 frac12 to do soto take ull advantage o the tax-deerred status
I you are currently in a lower income tax bracket (10 to 25 percent)look into a Roth individual retirement account (IRA)401(k) so
that you can take care o taxes right now I you are in a higher taxbracket many financial advisors recommend putting your invest-ment contributions into a traditional 401(k) or traditional IRA
5 Start a Roth IRAI you are already doing step 4 and are contributing to your employ-errsquos retirement plan up to the match look into a Roth IRA Tisorm o individual retirement account allows tax-ree growth andprovides a good place to stash investable money on a regular basis

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

Ever listen to a song over 100 times and then discover acompletely new meaning to the words Ever get a wake-up call tosomething that has been in ront o you the whole time
Some call an experience like this an epiphany (the day o whichis celebrated on Jan 6) Some call it an ldquoahardquo moment otherssee the simple synchronicity in all o it Itrsquos at those times that we

my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

OF YOUR LIFE

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Winter is here and so are winter chores Tis includesshoveling snow or many o us and o course walkingcareully on ice and packed snow Not to mention tight
muscles rom dropping temperatures and an increase in cold andflu symptoms due to an increased amount o time spent indoorswith other people Te correct biomechanics can make all winterchores much easier on our backs and can help to control or eveneliminate unnecessary low back pain
Low back pain especially afer a round o shoveling or afer slip-ping on an icy patch is unortunately very common Tis problem
can be easily prevented by regular chiropractic care and by strongstomach or ldquocorerdquo muscles Core muscles are very important ormany daily muscle activities as these muscles must be strong tosupport our backs while we are doing physical work and while weare sitting down Tis is especially true when we perorm exer-cises that are more difficult than when what we are used to
Proper lifing mechanics should always be perormed whileshoveling and lifing anything Tis is very important to protectyour back rom an injury Proper bending should not start at thelow back at all it is necessary to use the knees or the majority othe bending motion Tereore the knees should be bent as muchas possible with the back kept loose and relaxed so it can reelymove Never twist with the back extended so never bend whileyou are twisting at the waist Instead bend at the knees and moveyour eet to turn Slow and steady is the best way to great long-term lifing ability
Ensure you ofen take time to rest while shoveling snow or whilemoving a heavy load While shoveling or using a snow blowerkeep a firm and steady grip on the handle Keep the handle asclose to your body as possible and keep your eet shoulder widthapart and shoulders relaxed Be very careul to not excessivelybend while shoveling so the shovel handle should be as long
as possible Aim or posture that is as close to perect or escoop and please remember to stand up straight
Important things to keep in mind while moving snow akeep your back relaxed and to move your eet Do not lif an oull load and then twist your back to dump it Instead lif theand move your eet to walk it over to the snow pile then wyou are straight dump it in one smooth move I you need to cthe snow more than a short distance beore dumping it rember to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and head looking up and straight ahead Smaller loads done mofen are ofen easier on the back than one large load dropwithout control
It is a great idea to schedule a visit with your chiropractor bthe large snowalls come He or she can be a great sourcestretching and back strengthening exercises Also regular cpractic care is a great way to avoid an injury in the first placechiropractors can discuss core strengthening and maintencare with you Proprioceptive training is also something that chiropractor can help you with and this can help you to pr
your back rom injury as well

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Tis drive or recognition and order eventually leads us backto ourselves o address our ear o chaos we learn first tobring order and discipline to our minds and emotions We findworthiness and appreciation by loving ourselves By continu-ing to listen to our inner soul voice we align our disciplinedthoughts and actions with our true spiritual goals and aspira-tions Applying the Capricorn values o ocus responsibilityand structure to our lives the world begins to see our soul andwe eel recognized and appreciated as a unique and consciousco-creator among co-creators
What can I do this montho heal and evolve your Capricorn sel pay attention to yourability to take charge o your lie Does lie seem chaotic Are youcraving recognition Do you respect and honor yoursel Do youtry to manage people even their eelings yet avoid your own Doyou have a vision or yoursel and the world Are you willing totake responsibility even leadership toward creating that visionOr do you depend on others or that Do you have integrity inall areas o your lie Do you trust your intuition to guide yourchoices Are you willing to upset people to get things done
Additional support (current planetary transits)During January Mercury Venus and Mars are jumping aheadinto Aquarius thus prompting your mind heart and will toward
visionary possibilities or change and progress However Saturnruler o Capricorn is squaring (90 degrees) Neptune and chal-lenging you to have confidence to take decisive actions towardyour vision with heartelt compassion or everyone even thosewho oppose you
Te ull moon in Cancer on Jan 4 is opposite the Sun andPluto in Capricorn creating a -square with Uranus in AriesTe invitation here is to allow your eelings to bring awarenessto your relationship to power your own and others Are youusing your power to merely gain recognition and to stand outrom the crowd Do you look down on those who lack the willto use their power In todayrsquos complicated world what is yourauthentic power

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

as successul We may become obsessed with creating some kindo order around us (eg anorexia) Or we might submit to outerauthorities or structure (eg the military cults etc)
Tis drive or recognition and order eventually leads us backto ourselves o address our ear o chaos we learn first tobring order and discipline to our minds and emotions We findworthiness and appreciation by loving ourselves By continu-ing to listen to our inner soul voice we align our disciplinedthoughts and actions with our true spiritual goals and aspira-tions Applying the Capricorn values o ocus responsibilityand structure to our lives the world begins to see our soul andwe eel recognized and appreciated as a unique and consciousco-creator among co-creators
What can I do this montho heal and evolve your Capricorn sel pay attention to yourability to take charge o your lie Does lie seem chaotic Are youcraving recognition Do you respect and honor yoursel Do youtry to manage people even their eelings yet avoid your own Doyou have a vision or yoursel and the world Are you willing totake responsibility even leadership toward creating that visionOr do you depend on others or that Do you have integrity inall areas o your lie Do you trust your intuition to guide yourchoices Are you willing to upset people to get things done
Additional support (current planetary transits)During January Mercury Venus and Mars are jumping aheadinto Aquarius thus prompting your mind heart and will toward
visionary possibilities or change and progress However Saturnruler o Capricorn is squaring (90 degrees) Neptune and chal-lenging you to have confidence to take decisive actions towardyour vision with heartelt compassion or everyone even thosewho oppose you
Te ull moon in Cancer on Jan 4 is opposite the Sun andPluto in Capricorn creating a -square with Uranus in AriesTe invitation here is to allow your eelings to bring awarenessto your relationship to power your own and others Are youusing your power to merely gain recognition and to stand outrom the crowd Do you look down on those who lack the willto use their power In todayrsquos complicated world what is yourauthentic power

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Tis drive or recognition and order eventually leads us backto ourselves o address our ear o chaos we learn first tobring order and discipline to our minds and emotions We findworthiness and appreciation by loving ourselves By continu-ing to listen to our inner soul voice we align our disciplinedthoughts and actions with our true spiritual goals and aspira-tions Applying the Capricorn values o ocus responsibilityand structure to our lives the world begins to see our soul andwe eel recognized and appreciated as a unique and consciousco-creator among co-creators
What can I do this montho heal and evolve your Capricorn sel pay attention to yourability to take charge o your lie Does lie seem chaotic Are youcraving recognition Do you respect and honor yoursel Do youtry to manage people even their eelings yet avoid your own Doyou have a vision or yoursel and the world Are you willing totake responsibility even leadership toward creating that visionOr do you depend on others or that Do you have integrity inall areas o your lie Do you trust your intuition to guide yourchoices Are you willing to upset people to get things done
Additional support (current planetary transits)During January Mercury Venus and Mars are jumping aheadinto Aquarius thus prompting your mind heart and will toward
visionary possibilities or change and progress However Saturnruler o Capricorn is squaring (90 degrees) Neptune and chal-lenging you to have confidence to take decisive actions towardyour vision with heartelt compassion or everyone even thosewho oppose you

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

ldquoTings that matter most must never be atthe mercy o things that matter leastrdquo mdashGoethe
O ver the past ew months Irsquove beenthinking a lot about how to maketime or what truly matters I lef
my job 2 frac12 years ago to become a solopre-neur with the hope that I would be ableto incorporate things that were impor-tant to me back into my lie along withdoing meaningul work I did it However
as I got busier and busier I ound myselmindlessly reacting to a perceived sense ourgency Tis predicament has caused meto stop question and look more deeply atthe things and people in my lie that areimportant Although the process is chal-lenging I am grateul or the perspectiveand awareness it has opened up
I think we all tend to get distracted by thebelie that we have to do more and more tobe successul that we have to prove some-thing to ourselves or someone else that wehave to value what others think we should
value How many o us chase afer a goalwe think we ldquoshouldrdquo want only to bemiserable once we achieve it
While I understand that this is all part obeing human I also recognize that whenI get sidetracked like this Irsquom not ableto ully engage in the aspects o my liethat are most important to me Does thishappen to you
Here are a couple o ideas that helpedme realign my lie
Identify what truly mattersto youIt takes courage to ocus on what trulymatters Some o the most importantaspects o our lives are things that may seemldquounimportantrdquo or even silly to those aroundus Other people may not understand likeor agree with these things You need to behonest and acknowledge what is meaning-ul to you and gives you satisaction or joy
Herersquos an exercise that will help inventory where your energy is spentwhere you would like to spend it
1 MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU VA
MOST IN THE DIFFERENT ASPE
OF YOUR LIFE
You can either write this list down journal on a graph or a pie chart or ca vision or inspiration board Te aspwill vary depending on your lie interpriorities etc For most people howthey tend to be things like amily pers
development spiritual growth hecareer success and satisaction makidifference in the world or your comnity un finances relationships tradventure creativity home and mWhile you donrsquot necessarily need to them thinking o these things with spriority can be helpul
2 MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS Y
SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME DO
AND THINKING ABOUT
ake inventory o your day mdash not today but the past ew days weeks months mdash and make a list o wherespend your time and attention
With this list itrsquos important to rank thesome way so that yoursquore clear about wactivities thoughts and relationshipsyour attention specifically and how myou devote to each o them

Compare the two lists and see how you canget them more aligned
As you compare these two lists i yoursquoreanything like me you may notice thatsometimes theyrsquore quite different Ofenwhat we say is most important to us isnrsquotthe same as where we devote much oour time energy and thought Without
judging yoursel be honest about wherethere are differences in these two lists andspend some time inquiring into why thisis the case And as you think about thisask yoursel how you can create morealignment with these two lists In otherwords be more conscious and do what-ever you can to ocus more on what trulymatters to you
Do one thing at a time with fullpresence
In other words make the thing you havechosen to do the No 1 priority while yoursquoredoing it Focus with your ull attention Seethe value in where you are while yoursquore thereEnjoy whatrsquos happening while itrsquos happening
In the end you will come to realizethat the best days are the days when youdonrsquot need anything extreme or specialto happen to make you happy You are inthe moment and eel gratitude insteado thinking about the next thing on yourto-do list o me that is what true happi-ness is all about

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

W
e are told that we should take increased care o ourbodies during pregnancy but this level o concern dropsoff afer pregnancy Postpartum is a new beginning
Te average woman gains a little over 30 pounds during preg-nancy 20 pounds make up the weight o the baby the placenta andincreased maternal tissues and fluids Te additional 10 pounds is at
Health problems are more easily prevented than treated mdashso how do we prevent health problems Te average Americanwoman is 5 eet 4 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds Approxi-mately 35 million women are considered obese (or 20 percentabove their ideal body weight) Our treatment efforts are unsuc-cessul Our only solution is prevention
Good news I you are pregnant have just delivered or arethinking about becoming pregnant the time afer delivery is thebest time ever or you to lose weight Tis is true no matter what
you weigh how old you are how many children you have or whatyour weight loss track record has been
How can this be trueAfer delivery your postpartum body is not only ready to helpyou but it leads the way and continues to or approximately six tonine months Te first 90 days are the most effective
Tink o it this way Postpartum is not the afermath itrsquos abeginning Your own body becomes your greatest weight lossbecause spectacular things are happening deep inside pernatural weight loss
At approximately the fifh postpartum day sudden chatake place inside you Each subsequent change is better and mbeneficial than the previous one ogether they work beautand effectively to create weight loss

progesterone and insulin) interact in a totally new waysuppresses your appetite Tese hormones also fight the amulation o any new at deposits

So by paying attention to your nutrition and activity you canthe weight gained during pregnancy and even additional weBut should this weight loss really matter
O course Consider the health risk i you donrsquot lose this weheart disease extra weight around the midsection back painexcess body at equal increased risk o disease and cancer Bugood news is that like a good investment losing weight afer dery also pays you a huge lielong health dividend

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Students learn lessons each day While many o these lessonspertain to their coursework kids pick up much more thanbook smarts rom school where kids first learn to cultivate
riendships and build lasting relationshipsIn addition to a new curriculum new teachers and new sched-
ules kids also might make new riends once a school year beginsWhile some amiliar aces carry through rom grade to gradechances are youngsters will meet new students who will soonbecome good riends While many kids find it easy to make newriends others might need some assistance so they can make
the most o opportunities to socialize and orm riendships thatmight last a lietime
OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explore riendships outsideo the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalentEstablish a carpool or invite a classmate over or a play dateUnstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great wayto establish riendships Invite new children over each time to seewhich riendships are the strongest but make sure you are notpushing a riendship on your child
DISCOVER COMMON INTERESTS One o the quickest waysto build riendships is through common interests says KirkMartin a behavioral therapist and author Encourage your childto join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests Sometimes finding reasons to talk to otherchildren is the most difficult step to making new riends Sharinga common interest removes this barrier
TEACH PROPER MANNERS Children who are polite well-mannered and know how to ollow direction are better equipped
to attract riends Children who misbehave may be shunneother kids and their parents who do not want the hassle ounruly youngster coming over to play Respectul children are honest trustworthy and capable o sustaining eye contact
making small talk may find it easy to make riends
TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP LEAD As parents you can impyour childrsquos chances o making riends by getting riendly their classmatesrsquo parents You do not have to become bobuddies with everyone but making connections with eparents can reinorce the value o riendship to your childSocializing as amilies also presents other opportunities totogether and solidiy relationships
BOOST CONFIDENCE LEVELS As a parent you canto your children about their strengths and positive attribEmphasizing kidsrsquo best traits will increase their sel-esteemthat sense o sel-worth can make it easier or them to mriends A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meenew people but a child who can proudly stand behind his oaccomplishments may attract riends easily
School is about more than just hitting the books Itrsquos aprime opportunity or kids to develop their personal skillsmake new riends

Postpartum
fitness andnutritionBy Kamala McCormick
W
e are told that we should take increased care o ourbodies during pregnancy but this level o concern dropsoff afer pregnancy Postpartum is a new beginning
Te average woman gains a little over 30 pounds during preg-nancy 20 pounds make up the weight o the baby the placenta andincreased maternal tissues and fluids Te additional 10 pounds is at
Health problems are more easily prevented than treated mdashso how do we prevent health problems Te average Americanwoman is 5 eet 4 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds Approxi-mately 35 million women are considered obese (or 20 percentabove their ideal body weight) Our treatment efforts are unsuc-cessul Our only solution is prevention
Good news I you are pregnant have just delivered or arethinking about becoming pregnant the time afer delivery is thebest time ever or you to lose weight Tis is true no matter what
you weigh how old you are how many children you have or whatyour weight loss track record has been
How can this be trueAfer delivery your postpartum body is not only ready to helpyou but it leads the way and continues to or approximately six tonine months Te first 90 days are the most effective
Tink o it this way Postpartum is not the afermath itrsquos abeginning Your own body becomes your greatest weight lossbecause spectacular things are happening deep inside pernatural weight loss
At approximately the fifh postpartum day sudden chatake place inside you Each subsequent change is better and mbeneficial than the previous one ogether they work beautand effectively to create weight loss
1 Afer delivery many o your hormones (such as estro
progesterone and insulin) interact in a totally new waysuppresses your appetite Tese hormones also fight the amulation o any new at deposits
2 Leptin a at-burning hormone can actually raise metabolism
3 Your metabolism is higher now than it was beore you pregnant
So by paying attention to your nutrition and activity you canthe weight gained during pregnancy and even additional weBut should this weight loss really matter
O course Consider the health risk i you donrsquot lose this weheart disease extra weight around the midsection back painexcess body at equal increased risk o disease and cancer Bugood news is that like a good investment losing weight afer dery also pays you a huge lielong health dividend
Te key is that these hormones are altered immediately delivery As your child leaves your body ollowed by the exsion o the placenta your estrogen and progesterone hormall to all-time lows while your weight loss ortunes rise totime highs With that your appetite diminishes as does ability to accumulate new body at (around the fifh day)
