4. HOW DOES AN ADJUSTMENT WORK?
• THROUGH DETECTION AND CORRECTION OF ABNORMALLY FUNCTIONING SPINAL JOINTS, THE ADJUSTMENT RESTORES A
MORE NATURAL, NORMAL MOTION TO THE SPINAL VERTEBRAE IN ORDER TO DECOMPRESS THE JOINT AND STIMULATE THE
ASSOCIATED SPINAL NERVE ROOTS.
• WITH A GENTLE TOUCH, THE PATIENT IS PLACED INTO A BIOMECHANICALLY SAFE AND NEUTRAL POSITION, ALLOWING
ONLY A LIGHT THRUST TO MOBILIZE THE ABNORMALLY FUNCTIONING SPINAL SEGMENT.

9. THIS PILL MAY BE HARD TO SWALLOW

• GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK IF YOU FEEL STRESSED OUT
• TALK TO OTHERS. SHARE YOUR PROBLEMS AND HOW YOU ARE FEELING AND COPING
WITH A PARENT, FRIEND, COUNSELOR, DOCTOR, OR PASTOR.
• AVOID DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. THESE MAY SEEM TO HELP WITH THE STRESS. BUT IN
THE LONG RUN, THEY CREATE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS AND INCREASE THE STRESS
YOU ARE ALREADY FEELING.
• TAKE A BREAK. STEP BACK AWAY FROM YOUR STRESSORS (MENTAL OR PHYSICAL)
TAKE A SECOND, MINUTE, OR DAY TO BREATHE AND ASSESS THE SITUATION.

16. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
25% have felt like screaming or
shouting at a coworker
respondents have felt like
striking a coworker in the past
year, but didn’t
14%
18% experienced some sort of
threat or verbal intimidation in
the past year
10%are concerned about an
individual at work they feel
could become violent
80%said they need help managing
their stress

17. LIFE. WORK, RELATIONSHIPS, MONEY.
Work itself is not
stressful, it is literally just
“action” that needs taken.
It’s our REACTION to
work that is stressful.
Coworkers, boss are not
stressful, it’s our idea
about how these
individuals should
behave, treat us, act or
respond that stresses us.
An endless list of to-
do’s? Harmless. How do
you perceive this list?

18. IT’S NOT “WHAT”,
BUT “HOW”
• RECOGNITION.
• PERSONAL OWNERSHIP. IT’S AN
INSIDE JOB. STRESS COMES FROM ME,
NOT TO ME. AND, ANY STRESS I FEEL
IS A FUNCTION OF MY THOUGHTS AND
BELIEFS, NOT MY CIRCUMSTANCES.
• PLAN FOR IT.
• I AM IN CONTROL.

24. EXERCISE REDUCES STRESS
• STRESS IS AN INEVITABLE PART OF LIFE.
• 7/10 ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES SAY THEY EXPERIENCE STRESS OR ANXIETY DAILY, AND MOST SAY
IT INTERFERES AT LEAST MODERATELY WITH THEIR LIVES, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT ADAA
SURVEY ON STRESS AND ANXIETY DISORDERS.
• IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE, BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO MANAGE STRESS, AND MOST PEOPLE USUALLY
DO. ACCORDING TO A RECENT ADAA ONLINE POLL, 14 PERCENT OF PEOPLE MAKE USE OF REGULAR
EXERCISE TO COPE WITH STRESS.
• WHEN STRESS AFFECTS THE BRAIN, WITH ITS MANY NERVE CONNECTIONS, THE REST OF THE BODY
FEELS THE IMPACT AS WELL. SO IT STANDS TO REASON THAT IF YOUR BODY FEELS BETTER, SO DOES
YOUR MIND. EXERCISE AND OTHER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PRODUCE ENDORPHINS—CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN
THAT ACT AS NATURAL PAINKILLERS—AND ALSO IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO SLEEP, WHICH IN TURN
REDUCES STRESS.

25. IT’S THE “OTHER” 23 HOURS
Exercise does not have to be performed in a gym
Exercise does not have to be miserable
Exercise does not have to last exactly 60 minutes
N.E.A.T.- It accounts for 15-50% of our daily calorie burn.

26. EXERCISING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Moderate intensity and duration regarded
as an up-regulator of the immune system
Increased resistance against infection
Lowers the risk of appearance of disease
• Certain types of cancers
Regular exercise increases the activity of
antioxidant enzymes
Increases the resistance against oxidative stress (free radicals)
Increases the efficiency of the repair process
Decreases DNA damage in nuclei
