Orange County Chiropractors Advise Clients To Use Positive Affirmations To Improve Quality Of Life

The Orange County Chiropractors of Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center promote healthy living first and foremost and believe that healthy living begins with positive affirmations. This philosophy is considered the foundation of every person who leads a healthy lifestyle. In simple terms this is no different than "think well be well" and while the philosophy might seem simplistic the results such a philosophy yields go well beyond simplistic.

Living a healthy life style is difficult even for those with tremendous will power and a desire to do so. Positive affirmations are positive thoughts of one's self and their reactions to scenarios which they might find themselves in on a daily basis. Orange County Chiropractors are quick to point out that our bodies work very similar to the way computers do. Once a computer is exposed to viruses, bad programming, etc, they tend to slow down and not function well. The human body and mind are no different as negative experiences and thoughts can cause a body to slow and break down over time.

Through the use of positive affirmations an individual disciplines themselves to see and identify the positive in every aspect of their lives, thereby improving the overall quality of their lives which in turn helps them to reach and exceed personal goals and obtain a lifestyle not obtainable when consumed with the negative in their lives.

Tips for positive affirmation:

• Affirmations should be written down. This allows you to crystallize your thoughts and gives you a reference to refer back to daily.

• Affirmations should be in the first person and in the current time frame. They should always contain the word “I” and be in the “now” time frame, as they are the truth, told in advance. Remember the rule, “To Become, Act As If.”

• Affirmations are best done in the morning to start your day or in the evening before going to sleep. This helps to program your subconscious mind with positive thoughts.

• Affirmations can be either memorized or read, and need to be said aloud with emotion. This is what is necessary to open the trap door between your educated and innate mind.

Should you have questions about positive affirmations or need the services of an Orange County Chiropractor you may contact Dr. Victor Rafa at Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center in Mission Veijo. You may also visit the wellness center's Orange County Chiropractic website.
