The Emerson Approach

Categories: Blog Jan 13, 2016

Let’s face it, sometimes doing your Resets can be boring.

C’mon, how many times do you have to do neck nods?

The truth is, you don’t.

It’s entirely up to you to do them or not.

The key to success is focusing on the outcome, not the process.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 19th century American essayist and poet:

“Do the thing, have the power.”

How simple.

How profound.

Writing this almost six years after starting to use the Resets, I can attest to that Truth.

The power of accumulation - of repeatedly doing something (the right thing or things) is how greatness is achieved.

It’s what separates the “have’s” from the “have not’s.”

It’s said that the difference between the greatest business men and the greatest business failures is not some great and magical knowledge. Rather it’s the ability to do repeatedly do the mundane: To keep up with the processes and to develop systems to do what’s needed to be done. Feelings have nothing to do with it. (Except maybe the feeling you get from being successful that drives you from not living in chronic failure.)

We live in a society in culture that is run on and railroaded by their feelings.

“I don’t feel like it” they cry.

I don’t feel like it either. But I do it. Whether I feel like it or not.

And that’s why 6 years later I’m stronger in most ways than I was almost 20 years ago.

And that’s really the key to success with your Resets.

Sure, you may have an amazing first experience with them - “magically” restoring lost ranges of motion, or dare I say it - alleviating some chronic pain. But the key to keeping those new experiences and making them commonplace so your issues remain a thing of the past is to keep on keeping on and just making the Resets like brushing your teeth. Put them on autopilot as part of your body maintenance routine.

Then, one day, you’ll wake up, and you’ll “magically” have the “power.”

Emerson was right - “Do the thing, have the power.”

How much “power” is up to you.
