Teaching and Passing It On

Ugh! Probably the hardest one for me to write yet! I love helpful information. I recently stumbled across another great blog that has me hooked for this reason. As a physical therapist and heavily influenced by IPA, I love information about staying healthy and avoiding foods that feed inflammation. This is what I am saying to each of my patients most of the time....what you are eating could be feeding your pain process. Omega 3's versus omega 6's. Drinking things like concentrated cherry juice or aloe vera can also help reduce these processes. The average american diet is destroying the body slowly and giving pain, cancer and chronic fatigue a place to breed and spread like wildfire. Pain is a complex animal but the first mode of attack starts by watching what YOU allow in your body. Check this blog out it is great!!  cucumbersandcocoa.blogspot.com

That's just one of the many topics that FIRE ME UP! (In a good way!) I can single handedly dump information on someone if they are only willing to listen and be taught. And for me likewise.....I love to keep on learning. Through the CFMT process, God made me realize just how much of a passion I have for sharing all this information. Whether it is teaching about God and the bible, physical therapy, IPA, or how to move better, these are my passions. With women's health, He gave me a few opportunities to give small presentations that I quickly fell in love with distributing information in an organized and semi-entertaining way.

The area that hits closest is home. Teaching the kids those little day-to-day tasks, manners, & how to's are fun and challenging. That's where the significance of all of this struck me the most with the importance of teaching. We are all teachers in a sense. I am one patient at a time. My husband is for his classes  at school. Moms' are every minute of every day. No matter what you do whether you like it or not, you are a teacher of something. My realization of how much I love sharing information and trying to be as helpful as possible came during isolation time. We can't expect the next generation to understand or know something if we haven't taken the time to share with them. I had special people invest countless hours into me growing up and they still do.  It does not happen by accident.  It takes planning, time, applying what we know to the people around us. As Malcom Gladwell would say, people gifted in sharing information are called mavens. So here's to being the best maven and teacher I can be. Only with His help of course!
