Your Personal Corporation

Energy - Your Health Currency

The currency of U.S. corporations is dollars. In Europe, it's Euros. In Japan, corporations use yen. From a health perspective, the currency of your personal corporation is energy. When your personal corporation is doing well, you have lots of energy. Energy inputs exceed energy outputs. When a person is frequently tired, fatigued, irritable, and groggy, his personal corporation is losing ground. Energy outputs are exceeding energy inputs. The long-term outcome of such a set of conditions is disease. Our normal state is to have energy to spare. Even when we have many responsibilities and it seems as if time is always running short, it's still possible to experience an energy surplus. Provided we make the time to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, get enough rest, and keep our bodies in peak condition with regular chiropractic checkups, we'll have sufficient energy reserves to fulfill all our requirements and have enough left over to enjoy our leisure hours.

You are the CEO of your own personal enterprise. In addition to whatever business you might be running or might be in, your personal corporation consists of the value you generate during your time on Earth.

Some persons such as government officials make choices and take actions that obviously affect the lives of many others. For most of us it may seem that we have less scope and reduced impact, but that is not necessarily so. Our choices and actions affect those people closest to us - our family, friends, and colleagues - and their choices and actions affect persons closest to them. An ever-widening series of ripples continues to flow, affecting more and more people, all stemming from the actions we take and the choices we make today. If we haven't recognized this potential and this power, all that's required is raising our gaze to the horizon and widening our field of view.

In order for a corporation - a personal corporation - to be effective it needs to have a sound balance sheet. If there's a lot of red ink it's going to be difficult to be able to provide goods and services. Depletion of resources leads to depletion of energy. We need to provide a steady stream of raw materials so we're able to create new products that are desired in the marketplace.

Our personal corporations require specific raw materials ^1,2,3

• Healthful, nutritious food
• Regular vigorous exercise
• Sufficient rest
• A positive mental attitude

If we're not receiving sufficient amounts of any of these inputs, the debit side of our balance sheet increases. We don't have enough energy to accomplish our daily tasks, let alone do the things that will make our corporation profitable. With sufficient inputs we have energy to spare and our corporation thrives.

What are some outputs of a healthy personal corporation? A healthy, happy family. A creative work environment. Ongoing engagement in rewarding social activities. An ongoing experience of accomplishment. Self-expression. Peace. Joy.

In order for our personal corporation to continue to grow and prosper, it's basic needs must be met. In addition, it's always a good idea to make sure all the parts are working properly. That's where chiropractic care comes in. Just as an accountant reviews the financial health of a corporation, your chiropractor reviews its physical health. She makes "adjustments" wherever and whenever necessary, enabling your personal corporation to continue to evolve.
