We try to bypass our emotions because emotions are too
silly
feminine
annoying
embarrassing
childish
inconvenient
much

What emotions are, are human.
Mammalian.
Part of us, whether we want them or not.

My dog has emotions. She uses them to express herself.
I communicate with her using emotions.

I communicate with my humans using emotions too.

And I feel deeply, because I know that is my job. As a human.
They are here to teach me.
They are not here to ruin my life.

Imagine a life with no emotion.
No sadness, anger, guilt, shame.
But also no happiness, excitement, thrill, hope.

We can't bypass our emotions.
And I think if we could, we wouldn't want to.

They are here to teach us.
There is no bypassing those lessons.
We either accept them and learn,
or we ignore them and they wait beneath the surface for a second, third, fourth, tenth chance to teach us.

They teach us to feel.
And you could spend your whole life ignoring that lesson.
But if you ignore the hurt, anger, and grief,
you will feel pain, anxiety, and dysfunction.
You will still feel, it just won't be what you want.

Or you will become numb. To even the good parts.

You have to feel emotions to heal them.
And once you heal them,
you will feel peace.

I put my hands on other people every day.
Bodies that hold a lot of tension.
My goal is to help them release the tension
and if possible, remove the cause of tension.

I'm a gentle practitioner.
I believe our bodies are instinctive and smart.
With gentle guidance, we can make a big impact.

My profession is known for non-gentle words: crack, pop, drop, stuck.
But a gentle touch is incredibly effective.

A light touch is all that is needed to shift the nervous system of a baby.
"But babies don't have tension."
They do.
What they don't have is societal programming.

Bodies with a lot of tension become numb.
The input into the system from tense muscles, fascia, and organ walls is stifling to the nerve energy.

So the body decreases the awareness from those sources.
It numbs itself to ignore that information.
To minimize overwhelm.

I meet these bodies every day.
Our programming is that we need tough, outside intervention to battle the tough, outside stress we feel.

But healing is done within.

Those walls put up to keep out the bad feelings, also keep out the good.
The body becomes numb.

We crave to feel. So we allow pain.
The only acceptable feeling.
Outside pain tells us we still have the ability to feel. See? It's working.
But the inside is still numb. See the tension? It came back.

A gentle touch requires the body to listen. To feel.
It requires awareness that the numbness keeps out.
It asks the body to look within. To notice what is there.

Yes, the stress we feel comes from the outside.
But it reacts with what is already inside.

To create change, we must allow the inside to heal.
Gently.

😮‍💨 take a deep breath 😮‍💨

Relax everything that just tightened up reading that.

Woof.

Let go of control? C’mon Becca. Get real.

I get it. Control might be what’s holding you together.

I’m telling you gently, control is an illusion.

You don’t have control over the people in your life.

Or time.
Weather.
The internet.
The past.
The future.
The choices of others (even your own children).

The illusion of control you cling to that feels like it’s managing your anxious thoughts, is actually making them worse.

So breath deep…and let it go.

It’s not all scary! You do have some control.
Over your thoughts.
Choices.
Health decisions.
What you put in and on your body.
How you spend your time.
How you feel about your emotions and memories.
How you move your body.
Your sleep habits.

There’s a lot you can control.

I recommend letting go of the impossible (control over others’ thoughts and actions) and begin to control what you have control over — yourself.

What do you want to change in your life? What parts do you play in the current situation? What choices do you currently make that you can alter so your outcome is more aligned with your wants and needs?

Take a deep breath…and let the awareness come.

When you’re ready to take action, I’m here for you.

What parameters do you use to assess your wellness?

Is it that you just don’t feel bad/achy/pain/sick?

Or is it that you feel amazing, have energy, get great sleep, feel confident in your ability to manage stress, are happy in your relationships, feel excited for the future, and know that if something knocks you off course, you know how to get yourself back quickly?

There’s no right or wrong way to live. But there could be goals you have that are eluding you for reasons that are easily (and quickly) changeable.

A great place to start is to find someone who will take the time to get to know you and use their knowledge and skills to help you create the wellness life you crave.

If someone hasn’t told you today, you don’t have to live a life walking a tightrope over the pit of despair. And the only thing holding you back from a life of ease are the parts of yourself that feel impossible to control.

Good news is it’s not impossible.

Schedule a visit with me on drbeccakeyes.com and let’s see how we can get you back in the driver’s seat of your own life.

There are many different reasons why someone would go to a chiropractor. Here are 3 reasons I see most often in practice.

07/07/2021

There are a few ways to unpack stress with NET. The way we approach conscious mental stress that we are aware of is through Mind-Entry.

To begin Mind-Entry NET, we create a sentence that starts with “I’m OK” followed by whatever it is you want to be true.

Sometimes it’s being ok with positive things like getting healthy, feeling strong, making money, falling in love.

Sometimes it’s being ok with hard things like loss, growth, change, disappointment.

The point of being ok with it all is to feel neutral about it. To diffuse the highly charged emotions and make way for peace and calm.

Being ok with making money won’t take away from your excitement or motivation and it makes room for calm, rational thought so you can do the right things to make that money.

Being ok with loss will help process your grief, fear, and sadness, while accepting even though you don’t like it, you can’t change it. You can only change the way you feel about it.

I will be sharing “I’m Ok” Statements that patients have worked through in real sessions to illustrate the variety of topics we cover in NET sessions and how versatile the Neuro Emotional Technique is.

What things in your life do you want to be ok with?

Ever wondered what the right response to "You knew better than that!" is? I got you. Check it out here:

https://www.drbeccakeyes.com/post/why-you-don-t-always-do-the-right-thing

How come knowing the right thing does not always mean you do the right thing? Your past experiences could be the reason for your headaches, pain, panic, fears, fatigue, and poor decision making. The solution for this is Neuro Emotional Technique.

You know what you need to be well. You’ve heard it a million times.
💧Water
😴Sleep
🏃‍♀️Exercise
🍎Balanced Nutrition
☀️Sunlight

Simple, right?

But then why is it so hard for so many people to achieve the wellness they are looking for? 😓

Because they are missing the key necessities to wellness.

These are requirements because they inspire you to reach your goals and keep you motivated when you hit roadblocks.

They are the foundational platforms to build the life you want.

Without them, it’s like building a house on a swamp. While you’re building one wall, another might be slipping away.

By focusing on these platforms, everything else will fall into place. And you’ll have more confidence and fun transforming your life.

The 4 Necessities👇

💙Awareness - being able to observe yourself, your feelings, reactions, habits, thoughts, and instincts. Necessary to know what to change and when to change it.

💚Responsibility - taking responsibility for your own health without depending on the choices and actions of others. You have no control over others so depending on them to ensure your health is risky, stressful, and takes all the control out of your hands.

💛Determination - wanting to do what is necessary to reach your wellness goals. No one can help you if you aren’t willing or interested in helping yourself. Your need to achieve wellness needs to come from within you and should be strong enough to get you over any roadblocks you meet.

🤍Boundaries - saying yes or no when needed and staying strong within yourself. Sticking to your routines and refusing temptations. And sticking to your guns when others don’t understand or care to support you.

Just knowing these things isn’t enough. You have to embody them and practice them often. This might require help at first.

A great way to start is to find a practitioner that shares your vision and can help you along your road to wellness. If you are interested in an emotional-based chiropractor who is gentle but firm in guidance and has a passion for helping others be their best selves, send me a DM. I think I know a gal😉

At some point, we were taught to focus on our health only when it becomes too inconvenient to ignore.

When it hurts too much to walk at a normal pace.
When you didn’t sleep well for the 4th day in a row.
When your family got tired of listening to you complain without doing anything about it.

It’s probably because we don’t want to appear weak. Somewhere, we got it in our collective mind that asking for help is weak. And also that our natural abilities are better than working for something.

But.
It’s natural to heal after an injury.
It’s natural to gain strength when dealing with resistance.
It’s natural to lean on your community, because humans need connection to thrive.

To achieve wellness, you must make the choice everyday, in everything you do.

You must choose to eat healthy whole foods over processed foods most of the time.
To give your body a challenge in the form of exercise so that it can meet your expectations.
To listen when it tells you it needs something it’s not getting. Or that something was too much.

The people you think of when you think of health, make the choices to be that way.

Sure, you could live a long time on soda and processed foods and not exercising. But is that your goal?

Or is your goal to feel better in your 40s than you did in your 20s?
To wake up with energy every morning and spend less days sick, tired, and achy?
To play on the floor with your grandkids the same way you do with your kids?

Age is only a number. How you feel is up to you.

NET Body Example - a perfect demo to share how cool this technique is and how it makes a difference 💫

Truth or Dare?

I dare you to think about your health in a completely new way, especially if what you are doing now isn’t working for you.

I dare you to think about your symptoms as messages and alarms, not irritations to be covered up by drugs.

I dare you to be curious about your body & be open to the idea that it is connected on a million levels deeper than you are aware of.

If you:
😡wake up at 2:30am every morning —> your liver may be overstressed due to unresolved anger or filtering too many toxins
☕️feel anxious & jittery after one up of coffee —> you may be dehydrated or low on a certain nutrient
💪🏼suddenly have trouble lifting weights —> your joints may be out of alignment and your body is not capable of handling those weights on dysfunctional biomechanics

Here’s the Truth: You know your body better than anyone else does. Maybe you’ve mentioned these symptoms before and you were given suggestions that didn’t work for you. Guess what — those were bad suggestions for YOU. Keep looking. There are plenty of wellness docs out there ready to care for you and solve the problems to all of your issues.

Chiropractors are one type of doc ready & waiting.

Well, maybe not ALL chiros are ready for the task, but this one is ✋🏼

I gotchu. All I ask is you keep an open mind and make the first move by reaching out. I can’t help you if I don’t know when you are ready for help.

When you’re ready to check it out (no time like now to start feeling your best — life is short!) send me a message and let’s chat!

ps. I take insurance now 😉
