Getting your targetWritten by Dr. Jamie Fettig
What is health? Everyone wants this thing called health, and yet most people have never thought about what their “target of health” actually looks like. If you and your family were healthy, what would it be like? It is like this: Imagine you are shooting a bow and arrow at a definite target and you have no idea what target is. What do you think chances are that you will hit target? Not very good. Knowing what target is dramatically increases chances of you hitting target. Everyone usually has some definition of health but that is kind of like saying target is round. A definition doesn’t help much. What would you feel like, what would your kids do, and what would life look like? Get a clear target of what you being healthy would actually be like. Instead of just shooting for some ambiguous non-defined target, figure out your target. How much energy will you have, what will happen to your symptoms and disease, and how else will you be free? Simply knowing your target dramatically increases odds of you hitting it. So what is "true" health? Let me begin to show you by pointing out what is not health. When you wake up in morning, do you spring out of bed, full of energy and vitality? Or do you hit snooze bar two, three, or even nine times before you get out of bed? This, my friend, is a symptom. It is something that you think is part of life, part of working hard, part of whatever, and you accept it as way it is, when it is nothing more than a lack of health. Because if you were healthy, you would wake up in morning and get out of bed easily, with abundant energy. Are you in a good mood all time? Happy and fulfilled? Your moods are in direct relationship to your health, and when you are not as healthy as you could be, you are not as happy or happy as often as you could be, because of your lack of health. Happiness is just a certain chemical state in your body. Emotions are literally just different chemical reactions in body. Different chemicals present in different amounts, and this is what produces different moods and emotions. That is why medical profession gives drugs to try to change peoples’ chemistry when they are depressed. If you can change chemistry correctly, moods and emotions of that person will change. If you are not abundantly happy and happy most of time, that is a symptom.

What I am also going to point out is not-so-obvious cost of not being healthy. But, as you know, nothing in life is free. If there is a benefit, there is a cost. What most people do not see is cost, price you have to pay for benefits you are getting.There are also tons and tons of hidden costs that most people never see. I will list some of biggest ones. This is price you have to pay for not being healthy: 1.Vitality 2.An abundance of energy to do everything you want to do 3.Happiness 4.Love and closeness with others 5.Satisfaction and fulfillment in life 6.Healing symptoms and disease 7.Symptoms and disease going away 8.Relief from suffering that goes with symptoms and disease 9.Inner peace and harmony 10.Being symptom- and disease-free 11.Mental focus, memory, and clarity (no brain fog) 12.Being awake and fully alive every day (not just dragging through stuff and surviving) 13.Being present and having ability to be with people 14.No worry or fear 15.Being confident in yourself 16.Being complete and happy 17.The ability to deal with issues that arise simply and with ease 18.Having better health now, with security for yourself and your family later 19.More time to do what you want to do 20.Simpler choices 21.Looking great, feeling good, reducing fat, and having tons of energy 22. Being satisfied and Not being hungry all time The list goes on and on, but these are some of big ones. These are all things you do NOT get if you avoid being healthy. It is price you have to pay to not be healthy. If you are being healthy, these same things are your rewards. These are things you get when you are well. These things show up in your life as you are being healthy and well. So much so, that I want you to think of your own reasons why, things vital to your happiness, freedom and life that you know you would get you out of bed in morning wanting to be healthy. There are hidden benefits that many people get for not being healthy. Benefits that, if you are honest with yourself, you like getting as well. You probably are very familiar with benefits you get from NOT being healthy. You get to eat food that tastes good, you get to be lazy and sit on couch and veg out and watch TV. You get to not do all hard work of exercise. There are many other benefits that people get from not being healthy, and many others that I probably did not list. I am not going to list them all, because you know most of them. I will list benefits you do get that most people do not want to admit, often, even to themselves.
