MODALITY SHAMING AND JUDGEMENT TAMING.

Albert Einstein – “the more I know, the more I realize how much I don’t know”.
 
This quote stands true to my knowledge on health. The more I learn, the thirstier I get to learn more but also the more I realize how little I actually know.
Don’t get me wrong, I still know my shit (shit is my technical term for health and wellness chiropractic knowledge).
But this knowledge in itself is humbling and important for everyone to know. Health is a complex area that will forever be evolving. 
 
One thing I would like to straighten out is that EVERY health practitioner is trying to HELP. There is no right or wrong when it comes to modality or advice. Every practitioner is trying to help you in the best way they know how.  Often they are trying to help you more than you are helping yourself (mull over that!)
Recently there has been a lot of difference in opinion and vocalisation about what modalities and what advice is a "crock of shit".
 
Yes. There are different views on what health is and how to obtain it, different philosophies, different research. If you look at health concepts and research as a whole, with most aspects you can find as much research supporting something as you opposing it.
I challenge you to regularly challenge your belief systems around what you know. If something comes up that is foreign then investigate, learn, evolve.
 
It is important to remember that most people in the health profession are in it because they want to help, most of the time they will care more about your health than you do.
No one is in competition with each other, everyone is involved to do their best for creating a healthier community.
Uneducated judgement and opinion’s around knowledge shared or modality used is the real "crock of shit".
Every human is SO different; every modality is different, different things work for different humans. It is important to remember to withhold judgement as practitioners and/or patients/clients and/or friends/socially.
 
You are ALWAYS welcome to your own opinion, but ask yourself is your opinion educated? And is voicing your opinion loudly something that is benefiting the community, or is it just benefiting your ego?
Animosity towards professions due to lack of knowledge or prejudice is not healthy for anyone. Let go of the fear around what you don’t know, embrace what you do know and open your mind to learn. Judgement is a waste of your energy.
 
Let’s create a community full of positive supportive humans who lift each other up instead of chopping each other down.
