Why We Love a Good Scare
I was working at the Lions Club Fair last night, and talk about
scary…funnel cakes, corn dogs, Lion Burgers, the Usual
Suspects…even non-Cavemen have a hard time eating those things
more than once a year.
Anyway, a lady asked where my office was, how long I’d been
practicing (I could tell she was buttering me up), and then:
“Can I ask you a ‘work’ question?”
I don’t mind talking shop while frying burgers,
so I said, “Sure”
She said her hip always popped when she stood up and was
wondering what could be causing it.
I told her that her hip and/or sacrum were probably out of
balance and stuck on one side, which puts uneven pressure on
the spine and the nerves in that area. I helped her visualize
the ‘area’ by waving my hands around my hips, knees, stomach
and private parts…to give her an idea without being too
graphic.
I invited her to come to the office and let me check it out
to make sure there was nothing serious going on.
“Well, what types of things would be ’serious’? It’ll take
a lot for me to get this checked out…”
She’s not the first person to say this. We’re all this way
to some degree. Even though we know that our nerves make our
body work, and I highlighted the special area, “uneven pressure”
just isn’t sekksy enough to get our attention.
So I spelled it out for her: well, those nerves control the
knees, hips, legs…also the colon, uterus, bladder…
“I do have endometriosis” (for you guys, that’s when tissue
grows out of control in the lining of the uterus or other
places in the reproductive system…can be exquisitely painful)
Sure…that nerve pressure could be affecting it…and when
the bottom of the body is out of balance, the top can try to
compensate and cause problems in the…
“I’ve had a headache for the past 9 months…”
Now we’re getting somewhere.
Sometimes we need to be scared a little. That’s why we like
Jason, Freddy, Michael Meyers (from Halloween, not Wayne’s
World). The adrenaline rush from the safety of our own home.
But humans have a funny mental glitch that makes us try to
define ourselves by what we DON’T want. Kind of like a
church I know (nicknamed the Anti’s), because they’re focused
on what they’re against, not on what they’re for. And that’s
why most of the members aren’t too happy and the churches
aren’t too big. But that’s another story.
Our entire “health” care system is designed around treating
and preventing disease, not promoting health.
Ultimately we’re afraid.
This month in the Caveman Cuisine Newsletter I’m giving my
members some practical tools for turning fear into Freedom…
not just about food (even though it’s huge), but in other
areas of life…being free to be Yourself.
I know ‘better health’ isn’t that sekksy; that’s why I keep
reminding you about the Diseases of Modern Civilization
(heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, obesity,
osteoporosis, cancer, etc.)
You can either move toward pleasure or away from pain; you need
the dark to help you appreciate the light; without the
rain you wouldn’t have a rainbow (I feel a Hallmark moment
coming on)
But seriously, if you spend too much time and energy on
the pain, the dark, on what you DON’T want…you’ll never
get around to figuring out what you DO want, and you’ll
deprive yourself (and us) of your Unique Contribution.
You need to get out of ‘fear’ mode, especially when it
comes to your food choices, and getting your Body back. If
you need me to spell it out for you, I will…heart disease,
osteoporosis, high blood pressure, depression, low energy,
low sekks drive, stroke, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes,
overweight, underfit…
This month’s Caveman Cuisine will help you take your Mind and
Body to a whole new level…and you’ll never look back.
