Every year, millions of people make "New Year's Resolutions." And every year, most of those millions are feeling guilty by January 15th about not sticking with those resolutions. But as Tony Robbins talked about in his New Year's video (https://youtu.be/jL5jKptjIQw), are we REALLY resolved towards these resolutions? To be resolute means to be purposeful and unwavering. Dr Rubin helps you develop that mindset.

How many times have we heard the comment, "I can't possibly achieve that because I'm_____(fill in the blank here)." Examples: Too old, too young, not enough education, overqualified, not enough experience. One of Dr. Rubin's was "I'm just a little guy from a little town." But listening to the great motivators like Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, and amazing chiropractors like Drs. Sid Williams, Jim Sigafoose, Dick Santo totally changed the mindset to, "why not me, why not now?" Dr. Rubin asks the same of you now: Why not you? Why not now?

How many of us see something and then realize there is soooo much more to what we are looking at? Yale University Medical School started several years ago bringing their 1st year Med students to their Art Museum to improve their Visual Diagnostic Abilities (see article here: https://goo.gl/ZcjA6C). Dr Rubin has started that in one of his classes at Life University, based on that article and the book, Visual Thinking Strategies (https://goo.gl/fCntNp). Listen in on the intro to the first class.

A powerful TED talk by Janine Shepard is titled, "A Broken Body is not Broken." What a powerful concept. It goes along with the concept, "It's not how many times you get knocked down but how many times you get up that counts." During the challenging times, remember, as Zig Ziglar used to say, "you were born to win, designed to win, endowed with the seeds of greatness."

Ever wonder why Colgate toothpaste boxes read, "Go see your dentist twice a year," and not "click on this link for the Colgate dentist near you?" Because they are trying to promote ALL of dentistry! Not just the ones who signed up for a certain zip code. This podcast originally aired over 1 year ago, and is the 2nd most listened to in Chirocast. Listen and tell us what you think!

The Power of Now is an amazing book by Eckhart Tolle, one that should be on your must-read list. This podcast is by far the most listened to in our 'collection', and even though it originally aired almost 2 years ago, it is just as relevant today as we embark on the next 365 days. The way to reach your goals is to first set them, then to live in the present moment with intense focus or present time consciousness to achieve them. No better time than right now to listen to this powerful message!

This is YOUR life. You get to create it exactly as you want it. My father, who passed away from Alzheimer's in 2003, asked me everyday when he came home from the job he hated to "promise me that you will find a job that you love." Everyday he asked me to promise that to him. I am so lucky that I followed his advice. I do what I love every day at it makes such a difference! Can you make next year the best year of your life? Here's how!

The brain is for movement? Most of us believe that the brain is for thinking! But neuroscientist Dr Daniel Wolpert proves that the key function of the brain is to make the body move. Life IS motion! Even our cells have motion...even the atoms in our cells are circling around! Listen as Dr. Rubin explains why.

Are you just trying out life? Just putting your big toes in the water to see if it's warm enough? Or do you jump in, do a 'cannonball', and as Dr. Dick Santo was fond of saying, 'go all in?' During this holiday season, it is time to create your goals for next year and get ready to go all in to the new year, full throttle, all systems go!

Neurodiversity is the belief that we should be accepting of all kinds of neurological functioning. ADHD, Autism, LD, SPD; these children are not DIS-abled but Differently-abled! Shouldn't we help grow our children's confidence, no matter what label they happen to be given? Who knows if your child is the next Temple Grandin (who has Autism), Michael Phelps (who had ADHD as a child), or Stephen Speilberg (who has dyslexia). Maybe their differences MADE them who they were?

How do you decide things in your relationship? How about a 3 tier hierarchy for everything you do, in order to 'pass the test?' That's what Drs Drew and Lisa have done for years that they credit as one of the pillars of their 27+ year relationship. Listen in on what they call the "GFC Philosophy."

Sometimes the poets just say it better than the average written word. Dr Rubin features Anyway, by Mother Teresa, and The Cookie Thief, by Valerie Cox, and then offers poignant interpretation to the deeper meaning and lessons he gained from their inspiration.

We look at developmental milestones as a very specific tool to measure the progress of a child's maturation progress. Just the same way a computer turns on in a very specific manner, and the time it takes to turn on is usually within a few seconds each time, the same is true with milestones. Dr Rubin gives an extended talk about the importance of this tool and asks everyone to participate.

In an instant, everything can change. You never know when that instant is, so Dr Rubin suggests living the best life you can, going all out, full throttle, 110%. There is no time like the present. This moment is all we really have. Now its gone. Live each moment on purpose.

Happily married for 26+ years, Dr Rubin and his wife share secrets to a creating a successful marriage. It takes work, daily work, not just during the courtship but every day. The title is based on a book Dr Lisa Rubin is currently writing, entitled The Relationship Scrapbook. This is a new format for this podcast...please let us know your thoughts about this on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rubinfamilychiropractic/ or email us at rubinchiropractic@gmail.com.

One Cause, One Correction? What does that mean? When you boil it all down, there is only 1 problem that causes health issues, and that is dysfunction. An organ, muscle, bone, or other anatomical part is dysfunctioning, and the answer is to get that body part back to optimal function. There may be somewhere between 13,000 - 30,000 named diseases, yet they are all due to a malfunction. What's the one correction? Getting the body to restore homeostasis to that area! What's homeostasis? Balance and equilibrium . Listen to find out more!

Where does healing come from? If you cut your finger, what happens? You bleed, and then you stop bleeding. The cut heals itself! How? It is truly a miracle of the human body...this innate intelligence inside us that allows our bodies to heal and grow stronger IF we remove the interferences! Learn how to remove the interferences to your healing potential.

Big History, a TED talk, helped Dr Rubin think about how important history is in everyone's life. Newton's laws of physics explain how a body in motion tends to stay in motion, yet that also explains how success works. Success tends to breed more success, but lack of success unfortunately leads to more lack of success. How do we break out of that pattern? Look at your Big History and then change the pattern!

Mass shootings seem to be an American phenomenon. According to a recent NY Times article, the US is the leader in world democracy but also has more mass shootings than any other country per capita. Dr. Joe Dispenza explains the old saying, "Nerves that Fire Together, Wire Together." Dr Rubin points out that saying applies in either direction... nerves either fire good OR fire bad! Listen as Dr Rubin explains this and how it relates in the 2nd part of his mass shootings podcasts. Link to the NY Times article: goo.gl/KmcKjT

In the wake of the Texas Church Massacre, Dr Rubin asks the question that BJ Palmer asked in 1949. Whence (or exactly when) does greatness come? For some people, like Oprah or Bill Gates, it comes from doing great things for humanity. For people like Mother Teresa, it comes from doing great service. But for some people, the only way they feel that they can 'reach greatness' is by holding a weapon in their hands. Then they 'feel great'. What can we do about this? Listen as Dr. Rubin brings new clarity to this terrifying issue.
