    🤩I highly recommend using FUN as a major criterion 🤩I highly recommend using FUN as a major criterion for evaluating all your procedures, protocols, and communications. 🥳

Does that sound contrary to what a lot of chiropractic coaches say…and does it make your heart sing a little bit?

🎊It’s always worth applying the “fun meter” to everything we do and say in practice.

If something doesn’t seem like fun, it’s probably because it’s being done or said as a “should” or “have to.”

Or it’s being done or said out of fear or lack.

Or what is being done or said isn’t congruent with your current values.

Sure, there are rules you must follow in this world, and some of them are hard to see as fun. In those cases, first get clear on the intention behind it.

Complete this sentence: “I choose to do X, Y or Z because I want _____?

Once you’re clear on why you’re doing it, is there another, more fun way to manifest the same intention? Or can somebody else do it? At the very least, being crystal clear about why you’re doing it can help change your attitude toward it and keep you from dreading it.

Here's to a more fun practice and life.

Does it feel like nonsense?

🔬🧪🥼Many of us, myself included (Stew), were raised to think that logical topics like science and math were somehow superior. Our heads were filled with memorized facts, dates, and formulas, and it was called “knowledge.”

After years of unlearning, I have found that my heart’s wisdom is a much more trustworthy leader.

    Even after decades of doing inner work, we still h Even after decades of doing inner work, we still have blind spots to our own wholeness and worth.
☀
The truth is, we have nothing and no one to contend with. We have no adversary, except perhaps our own forgetfulness. 💜

When we contend with those blind spots and not other humans, there is nothing to get defensive about. Nothing to fight, and nothing to resist, because as soon as we remember our highest truth, there is only LOVE.

Withholding love from ourselves because of past choices or behavior is not valiance. It is just another way for us to forget our innate wholeness.

With self-love, we can become our own greatest ally. When blind spots show up, we can listen for our own needs.

Empathize with myself.
Appreciate myself.
Nurture myself.
Affirm my wholeness and worth.

We are feeling happy, fulfilled, relaxed and tired (we’ve been doing big hikes every day here in the Peak District). Life is amazing and tremendously rewarding when we live it whole-heartedly! 

We are so grateful for that…💜

    💜 When I recognize conflict, I use that as a remin 💜 When I recognize conflict, I use that as a reminder to go to my heart and ask myself, “what is blocking me from seeing, remembering, and knowing my own worth? My wholeness?”

I have often chosen being right over being understanding or loving. 😯 Perhaps especially with Hillary.
💑It is way more difficult for me to remember or to demonstrate my worth and wholeness when I become convinced that I am right and she is wrong.

🤔 I cannot remember a single instance when I felt good after choosing being right over loving, nor a single instance when that choice helped either of us to get our needs met.

💜So, we both have worked long and hard to loosen our necks and open our hearts.

    Gandhi had a word, ahimsa. It’s usually translated Gandhi had a word, ahimsa. It’s usually translated as “nonviolence”, but just as health is not merely the absence of disease or symptoms, ahimsa is not merely the absence of physical violence. 💜➕ It is a positive force that promotes love, compassion, and respect for all living beings.

Gandhi described ahimsa as a force rooted in the soul, based on cultivating an attitude of love, care, and empathy that transcends violence. 🌱 It is not just a moral principle; it is a spiritual practice. 

Through his ahimsa practice, Gandhi transformed his own consciousness, turning anger, hatred, and fear into love, care, and empathy. And in doing so, he helped free a nation, without his “side” firing a single shot. 🕊

Here’s an interesting premise that we can apply to our own lives. I have a strong feeling that Gandhi was buoyed by SELF-LOVE during his process. 💜 I cannot believe he would have been able to transform his consciousness by beating himself up or by placing limits on how much love he deserved. 🚦

I don’t know about you, but I am not willing to go to most of the lengths that Gandhi did. But I can embrace the principle behind his transformation and bring it more to life by being a better receiver of my own love. 💝

    It takes radical valiance for me to stand in my ow It takes radical valiance for me to stand in my own sense of worth so I can GIVE and RECEIVE love fully.

Did you know the word “valentine” comes from the same root word as “valiant”? Courage and love go hand in hand, it seems!

Valiance is required because I still sometimes base my worth on “what I am not” rather than on what I am.

I base it:
- on the content of the life I HAVE rather than the life I AM,
- on other people’s opinions of me and their reactions to me,
- how many things I have,
- how much I am doing,
- and generally whatever is happening in the latest film running through my head, rather than on the Truth!

Can you relate?

    I can still take a stand. I can still speak and ac I can still take a stand. I can still speak and act for what I believe, which I intend to do. 

But with self-love, whatever words I use or actions I choose will be focused more on what I am FOR rather than what I am AGAINST. (Or on what others deserve!)

Energetically, my words and actions can contribute to the solution instead of the problem.

    💜 As the Buddha reportedly said, “Pain is mandator 💜 As the Buddha reportedly said, “Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.”

Here are some ways that I (Stew) have been unkind to myself (maybe you can relate):

➡ I struggle against what is, I “should” on myself and others
➡ I strive to do and have more, thinking that is how I can become more and feel good about myself
➡ I beat myself up and hold things on myself rather than giving myself compassion
➡ I compare myself to others (and whether I come out ahead or behind, it still ultimately feels like crashing into the rocks)
➡ I operate under a false sense of urgency or responsibility concerning things over which I have absolutely no control

I do these far less than I used to, but there is always some work to do!

As you may have noticed, all these ways I suffer are self-inflicted. I am not blaming myself by listing them, I am taking responsibility.

It’s about realizing what I am doing and opening to the possibility that through that awareness, I can stop running with scissors and jabbing myself as I go. Or at least jab less. Starting right now!

💜 My human thrives on everything that is the opposite of brutal: gentleness, kindness, safety, ease, love and compassion. And so do I.

I learn, grow and evolve more easily under those conditions. I feel more joy, more fulfillment and more energy. And when I give myself these gifts of gentleness - when I go more gently down the stream - I find that I am also stronger and more resilient to serve my mission.

It is a tremendous challenge to walk gently through this violent and crazy world. So, I intend to make it easier by approaching myself and my journey more gently.

I would love to help guide you along a journey to wholeness and tuning in to your heart’s wisdom.

    This quote is good news, because it is a lot more This quote is good news, because it is a lot more fun to feel love than to see it! For us, love is also something we can DO. 

💜 In fact, the quickest ticket to the feeling of love is through the doing (giving) of love. As soon as we give ourselves permission to express it, we then become the first to experience it.

    Generally, we only know spring has arrived here in Generally, we only know spring has arrived here in Tahoe when the water changes from being white to moving quickly!❄️ 💦🌱

This year, it’s happening MUCH earlier than usual.⏰️ 

Everything is about to spring to life, and that can definitely include all of us. 🌷🤸‍♀️

Let us use the arrival of spring to remember that there is life after winter, and there is also life after heartbreak, loss, despair and hopelessness. 🌤Let there be light!

🌱 What are signs of spring around you or IN you?
