How long do you use a crutch?

Let’s say you break your foot today, to help yourself move around and continue with your “normal” life you get a set of crutches.

How long do you want to use those crutches? Forever? A day? A year? Most people want to get off crutches ASAP. The crutch is great for helping you around in the ACUTE situation of breaking your foot, but does  not serve you LONG TERM.

If crutches are great long term then anyone that has ever used them should still be on them. People that are on them find at some point they have stoped using them because it is hindering their movement. They have to “put their foot down” and start using it. As uncomfortable, sore, weak and painful as it is; just start using it so it can get stronger and actually heal.

If you never put your foot down and just start using it; it will grow weaker, the bone will not heal, the muscle atrophy, ligaments shrivel and the pain increases…to the point that you’ll drive yourself FEARFUL of ever putting your foot down. Now instead of relying on your foot for support, you are completely dependant on the crutch…this is the worst situation ever because you now rely on an outside source that will never “heal” you and you lose the confidence and trust in the only thing that can heal you…you!

No where is this more damaging than the world of antidepressant drugs…the research is clear. A person will have a “stressor” in life that puts them in a funk. Then turn to the crutch to help in the moment (Prozac) and say, “hey, thanks for the help little pill, I feel better.” Once inside your body the crutch chemically changes the way you think; to the point it becomes a talking crutch saying, “don’t stop taking me, you’ll feel bad-you have a chemical imbalance that can’t be fixed without me.” If the pill isn’t saying that, at least the 400 TV commercials are! 

The research is suggesting that after the acute 6 week duration that an antidepressant is used it becomes damaging to the body pushing into a chemical state causing bipolar depression!! What are they finding is better than Prozac? Exercise is what they are touting…but how about just living the 5 Essentials!

Are you using any crutches in your life?

Medications…. you know you don’t need if you just cleaned up your lifestyle.

An excuse… like time, money, life, environment, a past experience that keeps you from...

Telling yourself lies like you are TOO busy…

Complacency crutch…everything is just good
