Too Much Information…

Do you ever feel like you know too much?  Overwhelmed with health and wellness advice?  Hearing in the news what’s good for you and what’s not?  Hear about the side effects of medication made to help you?  Read about the latest and greatest way to eat?

At this juncture in my life I feel overwhelmed by too much information.  I have been on a wellness journey for the past 3+ years.  It involves regular visits to an amazing chiropractor who is helping me with my overall health and wellness.  Along with that, I regularly get my feet zoned.

“Footzonology is a method that utilizes the signal system in the feet. By utliizing the signals system in the feet it helps to rejuvenate, balance, restore and detoxify the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual body. Allowing and assisting your body to heal itself on its own.”

My wellness journey has been amazing and life-changing.  My overall health is much stronger and I’m making changes that will last a life-time.  Am I there yet?  No.  Am I getting there?  Yes!

Both of my “wellness coaches” have filled me with information.  Diet, food choices, supplements, essential oils, dry brushing, organic products.  The list goes on and on and on.  At times my head swims with all they share.  How can I do it all?  How can I afford it?  How can I NOT afford it?

We’ve discussed wellness vs the American Health Care System.  I have GP who loves to send me home with samples of medication to try.  She works hard to find reasons to treat me.  That is her lively-hood.  After a year or so of my wellness journey, she was finding it more and more difficult to treat me for anything.  After referring me for a blood work up, she told me that after the results were in I can come back in and she would get me going on a regime.  I was showing markers for heart disease and she wanted to start me on a dose of medication to cure that.  Well, after the results came back, all she could find was that my Vitamin B was low and she suggested a shot!  Needless to say, I did not leave her office that day with a brown bag of samples and a stack of handouts with medical advice.

So, I’m back to being filled with too much information.  At times it seems easier to just throw in the towel and go back to the way it used to be.  Don’t think about what I’m putting into my mouth!  Skip the daily routines that strengthen my health and well-being.  Forget finding organic food sources.  Processed is cheaper and easier.  Coffee and pop are much more satisfying that water (so I used to think anyway!).

I’m slowly learning that I don’t have to do everything I hear about.   I need to slow down and listen to my body.  I’ve learned to do my own muscle testing to see if I really need a particular supplement on any given day.  If there is not a need then I don’t take it.  Amazingly enough, our body can get too much of even the good stuff.

I’ve learned the importance of emotional and spiritual health.  If those are out of balance, then the physical health tips as well.  In the past 3 years, I’ve gone from taking various medications for depression, anxiety and sleep issues to taking NOTHING!  Zip!  Zero!  Medication free!

Another health and wellness journey I’ve been on is taking Redox Signaling molecules (ASEA) each day, thanks to another wellness coach in my life.

“Redox Signaling molecules are created within every cell of the body and are vital to the immune system and to cellular healing mechanisms.  They are so essential to life that without them, you would die within seconds.  A proper supple of Redox Signaling molecules enables cellular healing: damaged, dysfunctional cells fading away and healthy, vibrant cells taking over. They are vital for the health of our cells; that’s why our body makes its own supply.  But after the age of 12, our cells make fewer and fewer of these molecules.  The is the first and only source of balanced stabilized Redox signaling molecules outside of the body.  It is completely native to the body.  Proven to be completely safe, with zero toxicity.”

While this journey is a newer part of my wellness trek, I have seen amazing results.  No more medication to sleep.  Overall energy level much greater.  Mental clarity!  I not only drink 4 oz each day, but I spray it on everything!  Amazing healing qualities!  I made it through this very rough winter flu season without getting sick!  I’m seeing miraculous healing in friends that have been plagued with health issues their entire lives.  Athletes are using it!  It’s God-made, not man-made.

As I wander on this health and wellness journey, I’m again reminded that my amazing Father in heaven is right there with me.  I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to learn that He is in every corner of my life… including my health.  I’ve compartmentalized Him into the spiritual things, not the “more worldly” parts.  I’m discovering that my body does not really belong to me!  It’s on loan while I’m alive.  I’ve got to take care of it.  It’s His temple that I’m temporarily living in.  What I invest into my life directly effects my rental property!

I don’t know how may days I will walk on this earth.   What I do know is that I want to be obedient to Him who created me.  I don’t want to leave Him out of any part of my life… something I’ve done in the past.  It’s quite simple really.  When I feel like I have too much information and don’t know what to do, I can quietly sit before my Father and He will show me which path to walk along.  This is a truth that I’ve known and used in other areas of my life, but never my wellness.  Yes, I’m a slow learner!   He’s blessed me with these amazing resources and I want to use them for His glory and my health!  If God can grow flowers out of rocks, then He can certainly help me strengthen and heal my body, as well as use me to help others!
