Hey everyone, this is Brian with Life Balance Medical. 

Here is the question of the day.  Are you Thriving or Just surviving?  This is a serious question.  Most of us are just surviving.  How often do you hear or feel.  I am just exhausted.  I’m tired.  I am ready to go back to bed.

Lets think about something worse.  I hear every day.  I have been diagnosed with…..  high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, MS, Cancer.  You name it we see it every day.  You see it everyday. 

If you are just tired, or maybe have been diagnosed with something, how hard is it to get through your day?  How many medications are you on?  3 10 20.  I hate to say it but more often than not it is closer to 20 then it is to 3. 

If you struggle just to get out of bed in the morning you are barely surviving.  You are not an old Buick that has to war up for 10 mins before you dare to get out of bed.  It really shouldn’t take 2 or 3 cups of coffee before you are capable of functioning.  Are you the one that says don’t talk to me until I have had my coffee! 

This is a real problem.  So ask the question why am I just surviving?  The answer is Stress.  We talked in the past videos that there are 4 types of stress.  Physical, Chemical, Emotional and Vibrational.  We are under constant chronic low levels of stress literally 24/7.  This leads to damage, degeneration and disease.  Statistics show that 90% of all illness is Caused by stress.  We will talk in more detail about these stresses over the next few videos.

Now you should ask yourself Why can’t I thrive?  The answer is you can.  But this is the most important thing anyone can tell you.  If you keep doing what you are doing you are going to keep getting what you are getting.  If you are ready to start thriving, you must take action.  You must make changes.

We have this test in the office that will let you know if you are just surviving.  Get your heart rate variability test today.   For the month of October there is no charge. It only takes about 5 min’s.  This is normally a $65 test. 

If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.  You have to take the next step and decide you don’t want to just survive anymore.  You have to decide you are ready to thrive again!!!

I am going to leave you with one final thought.

Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.  That means if you want to thrive again it is time to take action.  2023 is getting close.  If you want to get where you are going you can’t wait!

Give us a call we will help you set those health goals for 2023 and help you start to thrive again.  It is really just that simple all you have to do is decide you are ready to take control of your health!! 

Talk to you soon
