😱 If you're feeling a bit down lately, you're not alone...

Perspective...
The single most important factor in your happiness.

Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you've been hearing (more) about cryptocurrency. Here's what we think you should know...

It's easy to get derailed.

"Back when I was younger" (yes, I'm old and unfortunately can say that now), 'how amazing everyone's lives were', wasn't forced in my face 24/7.

Nowadays, I can't look at my phone without being bombarded by the highlight reel of everyone's "perfect" lives - and consequently make myself feel like I'm behind the 8-ball (do all 20-somethings drive Lamborghinis these days and fly on private jets? Where did I go wrong?)

I didn't. It's not real. Life isn't perfect, it's messy and that's the truth.

You didn't sign up, so stop acting like you did.

If you signed up to volunteer at a fundraiser, it's best you show up - that's responsible. For some reason, I find myself feeling as though I need to prove my success/happiness/(fill in the blank) on social media! WHY? I've got nothing to prove! This feeling comes from everyone else doing something and somehow convincing myself that I need to do the same - I don't. If you're feeling like you must validate your life online, you've been sucked into the lie (and the game you don't even want to play). Don't. Just let it go. You're not competing if you don't play.

You've got FAR more than you realize.

If you've got a roof over your head, food to eat, a safe environment, a warm/dry bed, someone who loves you (even if it's your pet) - YOU ARE RICH! Don't forget this. Remind yourself daily.

Stop attaching your happiness to your practice numbers.

Oh boy - this is a big one. We ALL do it. I do it, YOU do it (you know you do), and it's DANGEROUS! Your value is not conditional (read that twice).

Every (every) practice ebbs and flows. It can't rain all the time (except here in Portland, lol), the sun can't always be out, the stock market can't go up constantly, everything corrects - everything.

There are certainly things you can do to positively (overall) affect your practice numbers [warning: shameful plug], like the easiest > choose and use ChiroSimple. But, even then, your numbers will still move up/down/sideways - volatility is a guarantee.

Learn to accept the volatility of your practice. It's a living, breathing enigma. Become more of an observer and take it less personally - watch it and make unemotional adjustments if needed. Even if your practice had the worst week/month ever - your 'best' is around the corner.

Learn from dogs.

They expect the best, always, no matter what happened before. They're conditioned and hardwired to be irrationally optimistic. They always believe they are just a moment away from a game of fetch, a great bone or chasing a squirrel. You can teach yourself to expect the best - it's a habit worth learning. Start small. ("Someone's going to say something nice to me today," "the sun's gonna shine for me today")
