The 4 Principles of Self Care

1. Your body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism. 

• This means your body was designed to heal, regulate and adapt on an ongoing basis. For instance, over the period of one month the majority of your liver cells die and are replaced by new ones. Two factors play a big role in this process and whether you are headed toward better health or on a crash course for declining health. The first factor is the nutrition or toxins that you expose yourself to, since these serve as the building blocks for your cells to be remade. The second is the state of your nervous system, since this determines how much and how well this process of rebuilding goes from day to day

2. Your nervous system is the body’s master computer.

• Your nervous system orchestrates point-to-point communication in the body and is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and the spinal and peripheral nerves. This communication allows your body to be self-healing and self-regulating, with your brain serving as the control center for literally every function in your body. The state of your nervous system and its ability to communicate to every organ, tissue, and cell of the body are important aspects in maintaining your health and should be considered some of the most important areas to manage.
  

3. Interference in the nervous system creates health issues.

• Your brain and body are in constant communication to maintain optimal functionality. Your brain is dependent on the input it gets from your body and in turn, the muscles, glands, organs, and cells of your body are fully dependent on messages from your brain. As long as you have balance and no signal interference between your brain and your body exists, you will have optimal opportunity to function at your best. The biggest interference with the normal state of your nervous system is stress. When this happens, your body is not able to heal, regulate, and adapt. Instead, it can get stuck in patterns that eventually lead to decline and disease. When chronic stress or extreme amounts of stress are present, the body can lose its ability to balance itself.
