Process Vs Event
2 likes750 views
The document discusses how health and well-being are processes, not single events. It emphasizes that true and lasting benefits come from making long-term lifestyle changes, not from treating problems as isolated events to be fixed quickly with pills or surgery. Pursuing health as an ongoing process of self-improvement through diet, exercise, and stress management allows the body to heal itself over time rather than just addressing symptoms.
Process Vs Event
- 1. It’s not what you don’t know about health... It’s what you do know that isn’t so!
- 2. Is A Drought An Event? A drought is NOT just one day with no rain. A drought results from a process consisting of many, many days without rain.
- 3. Is A Flood An Event? Is a flood just one day with too much rain? A flood is a process resulting from many days of more rain than the soil can handle…a stress greater than the land’s ability to adapt.
- 4. A Fire Is An Event… An Emergency Emergencies require immediate attention. People let their health care consist of putting one fire out after another when they treat their health like an event.
- 5. Is Your Headache Really An Event? Are headaches the result of not enough aspirin in the blood? Why do aspirin containers say for temporary relief?… Aspirin treats the headache as an event.
- 6. A Broken Wrist Is An Event... BUT THEN it takes time to heal! And it is treated like an event…it is set & put in a cast. Healing is a process and all processes take time.
- 7. How is Nature Damaged? Is it the result of a single event or episode of pollution or… Is it the result of a continuous process of polluting our planet?
- 8. Healthy Eating Is A Process Our body’s reaction to tainted food is an event. A lifetime of Twinkies and Old Milwaukee is a process. Make a lifestyle decision for healthy eating.
- 9. Exercise or Sporting Event? We go to Sporting Events but we do not exercise as an event. We exercise as a result of a lifestyle decision to engage in a process that we recognize as good for us.
- 10. Having A Child Is An Event But... Raising a healthy, happy, drug-free family is a process that requires time, energy, discipline, education and having it as a family priority.
- 11. All Processes Take Time Your health today is a result of the priority you have placed on your health up until now. To change your health tomorrow, change your priorities today!
- 12. Health Is A Process Health, like happiness is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the journey and strive for excellence…being a better person tomorrow than today!
- 13. Process or Event? Give a man a fish and he eats for a day (event). Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime (finite process). Continue to enlighten him and he opens a chain of seafood restaurants (true process).
- 14. Take a Walk Do it once or once in a while (event). Do it to lose weight for a period of time (finite process). Make it part of your lifestyle and it becomes a true process. Where’s the real benefit?
- 15. Isn’t it a Contradiction... To tell us heart disease is a silent killer that results from years of abuse (diet, inactivity, stress) and is therefore a process. But then treat it with surgery (an event) and still expect a healthy outcome?
- 16. Why? When our every experience tells us life, happiness and health are all processes would the medical profession insist on acting as if we get sick as the result of an event? Because it’s the only way to convince us that a pill, powder, potion, injection or surgery is the way to health.
- 17. Because... As long as we continue to believe that health is lost as the result of an event like germs, not wearing a jacket or just simple bad luck… We will continue to let the medical profession provide treatment like drugs and surgery.
- 18. When We Confuse Process and Event We think better living through chemistry is the answer. Yet, the studies appear almost daily that demonstrate the devastating effects drugs are having on our health and our culture.
- 19. When We Understand... That health is lost as a result of a process Only then can we accept the way to recover one’s health and have it flourish is the result of a process also.
- 20. Set An Example If you don’t want your kids to take drugs to make them feel better when they are feeling bad… Maybe you shouldn’t be setting the example of a pill for every ill...
- 21. Soar With A New Level Of Thinking... Einstein said, “you cannot solve problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” Today’s health crisis cannot be solved with the same thinking that created it. We must start thinking process and make lifestyle changes for the health of it.
- 22. Would You Rather Be Healthy or Just Not Sick? Be Happy or Just Not Sad? Be Wealthy or Just Not Poor? Be Intelligent or Just Not Dumb? Pursue The Positive or Just Avoid The Negative?
- 23. The Sickness Process We start out with the potential for Total Health We encounter physical, chemical or emotional stress beyond our ability to adapt This causes a distortion to take place in the nervous system which then causes Malfunction in one or more body systems Leading eventually to disease and then to Symptoms and, ultimately, if left unhandled to Death
- 24. Health As An Event Deals with the symptoms, not the causes, of a persons loss of health. By not addressing the malfunction in the nervous system, medicine has little choice but to use chemicals and surgery to attempt to deal with the effects (symptoms) of a malfunctioning body. And while this may bring comfort, it does not bring health.
- 25. Health As A Process Addresses the fundamental causes of the downward spiral of a person’s health and well-being. And, by focusing on the process which caused the loss of health in the first place, begins a process of correction. Thus affording the individual the greatest possible opportunity to experience, perhaps for the first time, an upward spiral in their health and well being.
- 26. Get The Big Idea... The Body Can Heal Itself You don’t have to THINK about seeing, hearing or breathing. You don’t have to make your heart beat or influence your own digestion. Cuts don’t heal faster in college graduates.
- 27. What Controls Our Self-Healing Ability? The key to our ability to heal ourselves is our inborn intelligence. This inborn intelligence flows throughout your entire body by way of the nervous system. This communication can sometimes be blocked.
- 28. What Blocks Our Ability To Heal Ourselves? Chiropractors call this block to nervous system function a subluxation. This affects the muscles which attach to the bones of the spine. This causes spinal misalignments which cause more nerve system disturbance resulting in a downward spiral in a person’s health and vitality.
- 29. An Adjustment Is... The beginning of a process to remove any interference with proper nervous system function thus improving muscle function and restoring structural integrity. The result is an upward spiral of that person’s health and vitality and is therefore the single greatest gift one human being can give another. It is our gift to you.
- 30. Like All Processes... Restoring health takes time. But, when you make chiropractic part of your lifestyle… You will be adding years to your life and life to your years.
- 31. Tell Someone You Love... The truth about life, health and chiropractic. Why not have your friends and family attend our free health class to find out what you now know about health so they, too, can make a decision based on information rather than based on condition?
- 32. The Votes Are In The staff and I met and decided unanimously that ALL of you rate a perfect 10. Thanks for being who you are.
- 33. There is no finish line... Thank you for attending this class. Please do not treat this as an event in your life but rather… As the beginning of a process that will assist you in the greatest expression of your inborn potential for health.
