Thots, Traumas, and Toxins

Nearly 100 years ago, one of the first chiropractors wrote about the concept of the 3 T's: "thots," traumas, and toxins.  Don't be alarmed--as a former English major, I know that the proper spelling is "thoughts," but apparently  B.J. Palmer didn't :)  In a nutshell, Palmer was saying that negative emotions and stress; trauma; and toxins (whether in the form of pollution, poison, street and pharmaceutical drugs, or even in foods we eat) are the three main things that wreak havoc on our health.  Unfortunately, we can't always avoid trauma or exposure to environmental exposure to toxins.  However, we can do the best we can to eat well, and minimize stress and negative emotion.

Properly coping with stress and negative emotions has been a topic of interest to me lately.  As a spiritual person, I do rely heavily on my faith and prayer.  Exercise is a fantastic outlet for stress as well.  Last week, I was introduced to the work of personal and business development coach Deb Erickson, and I'm excited!  If you ever feel that your "thots" could use a pick-me-up, I highly recommend her!
