The Silent Subluxation in Your Life and Business

The Trap of Misplaced Focus

You’ve probably met people who can rattle off sports stats, celebrity gossip, or the latest product launch in detail… yet when it comes to their personal growth, health, or financial future, they’re at a loss.

It’s not that they lack intelligence, it’s that their focus is misplaced.
They’re giving their attention to meaningless distractions instead of meaningful priorities.

In practice, we see the same thing happen.
Many chiropractors are “busy” all day but that busyness isn’t always tied to strategy or purpose. Without that connection, busyness becomes distraction.

Distraction: The Silent Dream-Killer

Let’s talk numbers.
The average American watches 4 hours of TV per day. That’s not background noise—that’s active viewing. Over a lifetime, that adds up to 13 years spent in front of a screen… and that doesn’t even account for scrolling through social media, binge-watching on streaming platforms, or going down internet rabbit holes.

Now think about what 13 years could mean if invested differently:

• Building deeper relationships

• Growing your practice

• Investing in your health

• Creating financial freedom

That’s not just time lost, it’s potential lost. In terms of earning potential and investments, the cost could be millions of dollars over a lifetime.

It’s Not About TV, It’s About Where Your Focus Goes

Maybe TV isn’t your thing.
Maybe it’s Facebook.
Maybe it’s email.
Maybe it’s “just checking something real quick” and then realizing an hour has vanished.

Whatever it is, distraction pulls you away from what matters most and from the present moment itself.

When you’re constantly “checking in” on other people’s agendas, you’re checking out of your own life’s mission.

The Chiropractic Connection

In chiropractic and in life, success is about alignment.
When your actions, focus, and purpose are in alignment, momentum happens. When they’re not, even your hard work produces minimal results.

We see this with practice owners who spend hours on tasks that feel urgent but don’t actually grow their business or impact more lives.
And just like spinal misalignments block the body’s innate ability to heal, mental misalignments caused by distraction block your ability to grow, serve, and thrive.

Your Action Step: Reclaim Your Attention

Here’s your challenge:
Today, choose to guard your focus like it’s the most valuable asset you own because it is.

Ask yourself:

• “What matters most in my practice, my relationships, my health, my life?”

• “Is what I’m doing right now moving me toward that or away from it?”

It’s not about becoming a productivity machine.
It’s about living fully present, with intention, so your time, energy, and talents are invested in what truly matters.

When you direct your focus with purpose, you don’t just get more done, you experience more joy, more connection, and more fulfillment.

That’s how you create a thriving practice.
That’s how you create a thriving life.
