Keep an Attitude of Gratitude

Your List?

Some days it’s hard to feel grateful. The bills are piling up, the house is a mess, you just had a fight with your spouse and you’ve just missed an important deadline at the office. How can anyone feel grateful under those circumstances?

This is the time of year when people traditionally give thanks. But giving thanks, and feeling grateful, shouldn’t just be confined to one day a year. An attitude of gratitude should be a part of daily living, because no matter how bad things might seem, someone has it a whole lot worse.

We often hear, “What we focus on becomes real.” Do you focus on only the negatives in your life? Do you always see the glass as half full? Change your focus. Make a gratitude list, Right now. Take out a piece of paper and a pen and write down things for which you are grateful. Your health? Your kids? Food on the table? A home to live in? A good-paying job? Living in a nice community? The raise you got? Your son’s college acceptance? Think about it, and write your list.

Then every day…add to your list. You’ll be surprised how quickly it grows when you focus on what you’re truly grateful for, rather than what you don’t have. Make it a habit to keep an attitude of gratitude and see just how much your life can change!

Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to De Pere residents - Chiropractor De Pere Dr. David Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more De Pere folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in De Pere encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
