Hit the brakes....

I recently had the opportunity to be introduced to one of the leading experts in the field on ADD/ADHD, and as a result be invited to go thru the certification program to be a certified SHINE clinic, which stands for Special Help Integrating Neurological Experience, here in Omaha, Nebraska.
Have to tell you one simple word describes not only Dr. Hallowell, Dr Gentempo, the SHINE program and what I am learning WOW.
It is really sad as I dig deeper into the program of how society and the "experts" have treated this classification, not only know but in the past.  Up until recently this "classification" was physically abused by an elder, cause that is what was thot to be the best...up until Dr. Hallowell and the work he is doing, the "experts/elders/allopathetics" then chemically abused them...with drugs!!!  How sad to take of someone in this manner.
To paraphrase what I am learning, and that is what I am going to do in this post and others in which I discuss ADD/ADHD, this is not a disorder, but a trait...but the "experts" treat almost everything like a disease...and of course the course is drugs...yep that's going to solve it!!  WRONG!!!
These children and ADULTS are champions just waiting to be developed, as Dr. Hallowell says..."they have ferrai brains with bicycle brakes," and all we have to do is fix the brakes...and I am going to add to it, via Chiropractic we are not only going to fix brakes, let's make that engine fire just a bit more...and then as a result let's bring the best out of them...and create MASSVIE CHAMPIONS.
Think about this, how many great people out there have been surpressed because they were "not normal," and of course I would like to know what is normal...cause if it is like what society says, I don't want to BE normal...I choose to BE me and ONLY ME...here is what these traits of people possess and wow is all i can see: 1) Creative 2) Innovative 3) Thinking outside the box 4) Dreamers 5) Visionaries 6) Massively generous 7) Sensitive 8) Incredible sense of humor.  Think of any ADD/ADHD person you have met and they posses all of these traits...just, yes I meant to use the just, JUST at such a high level..remember their engine is going.
Anyone that you have know, and we have had the opporunity serve many, they are very strong in the above TRAITS..yes again, meant to use that word.  And if you listen to their parents or "educators" they say the same...but it is at such a BIG level that something has to slow them down.
Well, the "allopaths" instantly want to add more drugs...I mean honestly, think of the health problems out there today, really more drugs.  If drugs worked so good, and I love this one...how it has helped high blood pressure, then how's come we still have such High Blood Pressure situations...if they worked so good people WHO ARE ON THE DRUGS would NOT be dying of it...look at the stats...another blog post down the road.
What we have in ADD/ADHD is this mass amount of energy, that is REALLY curious, a trait the world so deeply needs, this intense, burning curiosity and impulsivity and BIG time energy...combine those without brakes, well, you can figure it out.
So what we are going to do is put the brakes on, find their talents and unwrap this beautiful gift so these talents can be utilized instead of supressed with chemicals, yes I do agree, as does Dr. Hallowell it is a biological imbalance, but NOT given the solution by adding more drugs...NO...let's balance the chemisty and the brain...and open the champion in them.
So, we are offering this week, February 2 at THE SOURCE, 715 South 16th Street, Omaha, NE...a night spent discussing ADD/ADHD, and many more nights.  Throughout the series of Kiroman I am going to address this opening of Champions, and in the end humanity will be so much better off.
With that in mind...I wish for you to BE YOU!!

Enough Excuses...

How often do you wake up early on a morning and say today.."I am going to..." and then as the day goes on you become the master of excuses?  And if you are reading this and saying not me...I challenge your paradigm, because we all have done it at some time in our life or are still doing it...and if you say NOT ME, NEVER...kiroman is calling you out, because you are not all that.

Little aggressive and intense to start out?  But I just spent that past few days with 4000 Chiropractors and Staff, listened to some powerful speakers, shared with some DC's and staff, and spent time with some dear friends in Chiropractic...the latter of which I am eternally grateful for the friendship. 

Why...I made this long 4 days without kirowyf and teenager, and that is hard.  But the DC's and wives that made sure I wasn't going to be lonesome without kirowyf, and I was, because I am headed home early on one of those night flights where I am the only one with his light on!!!  Kind of like that kid that wants to come home from camp early!!

My lesson learned, well take that, of the lessons learned, but the ones I want to hit home on...and not really a Chiropractic topic, but it does fall into the mental aspect of lives...is those that are your friends, make sure they know how you feel when they do things for you.

Stop making excuses that you will do something "nice" for them someday or next time...make it this time right now.  Here is what hit me when I would lay my head down at night and wake up in the morning...I know I have a great wife...and a great daughter in teenager...but I have some great friends and I choose today to never take them for granted...when I say I am going to do something for them I AM...no more excuses of putting it off.  Or if I am "thinking" of doing something for them...I am just going to take action and do it...ENOUGH EXCUSES.

So my challenge to you is this...what kind of excuses are you creating in your head that you are avoiding?  Thinking you can handle them another day?  Imagine the freedom that will be liberated in you?  And the other side the "false friends" that you allow in your life just because...ENOUGH EXCUSES.

So in closing, and I hope I get them all...THANK YOU for making my weekend alone without kirowyf and teenager GREAT...the KCC team for allowing me to travel and share with this beautiful profession, our incredible practice members who support the vision of making our community the healthiest community, Derrell (so proud of you and your award, and seeing you on stage), Lisa, Jay and Casey...aka the TWIN TOWERS, Gilles, Fabrizio, Wanda Lee and Andrew, Peter...oh dude ONLY YOU, my twin brother Nate, Nick, your lovely bride and soon to be future DC, PG and Laurie, my EPIC family and all the members that came up...the luv, open arms and friendship is one word EPIC, Matt and Mikayla,  Garrett the G Man, P for checking in on, Billy D, Glow,  Terry, and finally the dude who has been great friend for years DJ and your awesome wife Nico!!! 

And the best news of all in about 2 hours I get to hug kirowyf...NO EXCUSES!!

BE AUTHENTICALLY AND EPICALLY YOU....

kiroman!

It's NOT about YOU!!

I totally have to share this with you all...know this is a "COPY" of something I read and not a real blog...but it hit a "nerve," no pun intended as a Doctor of Chiropractic with so many things directly in MY profession and indirectly in my profession.


This is a "reprint" from John Maxwell...from his powerful book "The Maxwell Daily Reader," which is a must read to start your morning. My advice, what I do, my associate does and those directly connected read...so enjoy...

"Too often we think that if we can impress others, we will gain influence with them. We want to become others' heroes--to be larger than life. That creates a problem because we're real live human beings. People can see us for who we really are. If we make it our goal to impress them, we puff up our pride and end up being pretentious--and that turns people off.

If you want influence others, don't try to impress them. Pride is really nothing more than a form of selfishness, and pretense is only a way to keep people at arm's length so that they can't see who you really are. Instead of impressing others, let them impress you.

It's really a matter of attitude. The people with charisma, those who attract others to themselves, are individuals who focus on others, not themselves. They ask questions of others. They listen. they don't try to be the center of attention. And they never try to pretend they're perfect."

Read this Sunday, and it became very transformational to me, because YES, I fall into that trap and thank goodness I have accountability partners, my wife and friends who bring me back to Earth!!

Wish you the best...

LIVE to BE you,

Time to get your E.S.S. in shape

How you start your year is how you end your year...wouldn't it be much easier to decide how your year is going to start?  Even take it a step further...wouldn't it be much more fun to have a "say" in your life, versus have something or someone decide it for you, kind of like getting leftovers.

Now leftovers are not all that bad, but I would much rather order the "meal" I want.  Sadly most people don't realize that they are in control of their lives, we have allowed ourselves to become "sheeple" and just take what we can get.

So guess what, why not decide TODAY...make the decision for you and your family to live the life you decide.  Because whether you like it or not, there is a very good chance you are going to live 100 years...by the year 2040 it has been stated that those living to 100 years old, that part of the population will grow by 745%...that's right 745%!!!  So whether you like it or not, you are going to live older than you realized, you possess the genes...so make the decision, you can do it in diapers or out of diapers...preferably option B!!

Are you thinking yet, here is one for you, look at your oldest living relative, a friends living relative, or someone you know that is 80+, are they as healthy as they want to BE, are they living the life they wanted?  I am willing to bet, granted yes, there are those that may disagree, but I am willing to say they have healthcare decisions they wish they would have chose...so eliminate regret, start today to make those conscious decisions of right choices.

Believe me I know...in July for some odd reason I chose to stop working out regularly, and guess what I added something...weight, and don't like it.  As a result I have made the decision to start the journey of getting my ESS in shape, and you are invited to come with me...it's really simple.  Small little decisions along the way to create the me I want. 

As I made this decision to let my ESS "grow" not how I wanted I realized that I was living in contradiction, was hardcore on my mental aspect...reading and listening to "things" that grow me, but make the conscious decisions to "grow" me physically.

NO MORE...and I am asking you before next week to make three conscious decisions you are going to BE and DO to get your ESS in shape....and we do have help at the clinic, we have New Year...New You packets, with simple tests for you to do...so stop by and get one.

And we have mega-classes to help you grow, we have audios to listen too and download, our web page and facebook page for you, you will see Twitter postings to incite you...we have made it all very simple for you to BE the better you...just subscribe to them and ask us for help.

BEing your AdvantEDGE,
