• Are you currently living your life fully as you would choose? If not, are you actively involved in the process of creating it?
• Does joy in the moment characteristically describe your journey? Or are you feeling like a victim while lamenting your circumstances?
• Is life simply happening to you while the weekdays creep and the weekends fly by?
• Are you beginning to wonder about the life that hinted at such fulfilling possibilities but has often served you difficulty and occasion for anxiety, boredom, and a sense of dashed hopes?

Are you feeling blocked from reaching your dreams and full potential?

What is it that is stopping you?

How is this blockage impacting your health and how is your health contributing to you being or feeling stuck?

I am certain you are beginning to experience time and your life passing more quickly than you had expected. I know that I am.

Maybe it’s just that I’m turning that transitional landmark of 50 next month.

Nevertheless, can you truly remain casual in your actions while realizing that this is your one chance on this Earth to attain, be, create, and express what is inside you? You don’t clearly know the details of what may lie beyond this lifetime, but you do have this moment to reach up for the stars and within to your soul.

I feel a greater sense of urgency to live in joy, freedom, and gratefulness each day and to continue to become and express more of my possibilities. I don’t want anything to stand in the way and for too much of my life that had been the case. I want to encourage you to keep moving forward in your journey.

It’s time to ask “Am I Feeling Blocked?” and then clarify the events or individuals that seem to be blocking you from expressing your full potential. Only when you see these issues more clearly can you take the necessary actions to liberate yourself and achieve living your best life now.

Please go now over to www.DrMatthewNorton.com and click on the Learning Resources page. Then click on the Free Quiz link and take just a few minutes to answer the quiz questions and review the comments in your score range.

Stop now and take the quiz at www.DrMatthewNorton.com on the Learning Resources page. Please be brutally honest with yourself.

I’m assuming you took the quiz and got your results. Welcome back. What did you learn about yourself and your current life? What range did you fall in? Were you able to gain some insight into some of your areas that require attention?

Every day in my wellness center, for nearly a quarter of a century now, I have seen the later stage health results of life obstacles that have become spine, nervous system, and health blockages. I have also routinely witnessed spine and nervous system obstructions from uncorrected injuries and overwhelming stresses that are diminishing the quality of life of countless numbers of people.

This is the focus of my soon to be published book Where Does It Hurt?: Dr. Norton’s Surprising Stories and Transformative Insights For Releasing Pain and Restoring Whole Body Health. It contains dozens of miraculous life-transforming patient stories brought about through a process of precise spinal adjustments that released stuck nervous system patterns.

Since the book isn’t available yet, you may order the CD What’s Blocking You? A Chiropractor’s Insights to How You Can Release Energy and Increase Overall Health by going to the Learning Resources page of www.DrMatthewNorton.com. It tells the powerful real-life stories of five people just like you, who came into my practice in physical and mental/emotional pain, and through the work we did together have been able to emerge with vitality, ease of movement, and a positive outlook on life that they hadn’t enjoyed for years.

Have you had your spine and nervous system evaluated in recent months to check for any disturbed function that could be producing your pain, or even worse, silently creating damage and stealing away your future? I have cared for innumerable people over the years who have desperately wished they could have gone back in time to take better care of their spinal health at an earlier age, prior to the onset of crisis.

Please check out the special opportunity coming up in early November described in the News and Events section below. This may be the time and the chance your body has been seeking for healing. Listen to that small voice and take action.

Healing Hints

1. Determine to live more fully in the moment of NOW!
   
   “When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future.
   When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past”.
          Unknown
   
   
2. Realize that you have the potential to more fully create the life you want to live. Dream the dream. Clarify the vision. Plot the course. Set the goals. Discipline yourself to take committed action each day toward your goals and vision. Thank God for your abundant blessings!
   
   
3. Become aware and acknowledge that you are stuck if you really are. Even if only partially, and in truth who isn’t to some degree? Make sure you take the “Are You Feeling Blocked?” quiz on the Learning Resources page of www.DrMatthewNorton.com and review your results.
   
   
4. Commit to correcting your underlying condition if part of your blockage is pain or some other illness challenge. As much as possible solve the real problem rather than masking the symptoms with medication or some diversion. Ongoing pain involves a nervous system disturbance and an accurate diagnosis often points to a spinal problem that needs to be corrected by a Doctor of Chiropractic. Call 559-490-9550 to schedule an appointment or for more information.
   
   
5. Go further and fill out the questionnaire offered at the end of the quiz for deeper insight. Begin to generate greater power through ordering and then listening multiple times to the CD “What’s Blocking You?” available on the same page of the website.
   
   
6. Celebrate each small victory along the way and be glad and grateful for each day of your life.
