Life Lesson: Slow down or Risk Getting Hurt with Cary Jack

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">You don't have to get sick or get hurt for you to slow down.</p> <p>Recently, the universe asked me to slow down.</p> <p>I was ripping down the mountain on my snowboard when, out of nowhere, I ate it big time.</p> <p>It was an ice day, so the snow was extra packed, basically like concrete.</p> <p>I caught an icy heel edge and launched backward down the mountain in the air.</p> <p>I landed on my spine, whiplashing my neck and cracking my helmet.</p> <p>It was a hard hit. I was shaken, but OK.</p> <p>I then made it down the mountain and went to the beer tube to get a pint.</p> <p>I relaxed for a bit and decompressed from the fall.</p> <p>I then went up for another two runs to “get back on the proverbial horse."</p> <p>I knew I was off, so I called it an afternoon earlier than usual.</p> <p>I got home and Steph, my lover, ran me an Epsom salt bath to soak my weary body.</p> <p>My ribs hurt, my neck was stiff, my spine was sore, but nothing out of the ordinary due to an impact such as I had.</p> <p>It was on Tuesday morning when I finally went to my chiropractor and got x-rays taken.</p> <p>The x-rays were from 3 angles of my neck, and although inconclusive, they showed that I may have fractured my C1 and C2 vertebrae in my neck, the top bones in your spine that allow your head to pivot side to side.</p> <p>It looks like it was still in the proper placement and just needs time and rest to heal but my Chiro said we need to get an MRI done to get a proper final diagnosis.</p> <p>The point is: sometimes the universe wants you to slow down.</p> <p>It’s warning you... or else something worse could happen.</p> <p>Slow down with your business or you could potentially burn out.</p> <p>Slow down or you could potentially injure your body.</p> <p>With your neglected relationship, slow down and get present or risk potentially losing your partner.</p> <p>Sometimes you have to slow down in order to speed up.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Connect with Cary!</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href=
