How To Recharge Your Whole Health in 1 Month Part 2

How To Recharge Your Whole Health in 1 Month

Part 2

Earlier this month we started a three-part series on how to refresh all aspects of your health (mental, social, spiritual, environmental, emotional and physical). In our last post, we talked about simple ideas to improve your mental and social health because it’s important (and often forgotten) to pay attention to every part of your health (not just your weight).

Take care of YOU so you feel your best. You deserve it!

So, if you’re just joining us, try to do something on the list each day! Then, enjoy the refreshed and positive feeling you get from taking care of yourself. Now, let’s take a look at two more parts of your health, spiritual and environmental.

Let’s Think About Your Spiritual Health

Spiritual health is your values, beliefs and what you find meaningful in life. It’s what gives you direction and joy!
So, what does your spiritual life look like? Do you know what you believe and why? Think about the things or people that influence your beliefs, if you’re happy with where you are or you need to make a change? There’s lots of obstacles in life that may get in your way, distracting you from having the kind of spiritual life you desire, and now’s the time to think about it.
You’re in control, so you can have the healthiest spiritual health you want, you just have to put some energy into it! So, let’s get started.
Practice forgiveness. Holding onto a grudge? It’s time to put it in the past and let yourself heal so you can move forward.
Reevaluate your values. What do you find important? And, what areas of your life would you like to make changes in. Jot them down somewhere so you can stay accountable.
Find peace. Spend some time to pray, meditate or simply just count your blessings. You are blessed, and it’s good to remember that.
Think about what your purpose in life is. You’re here for a reason, so live each day with a purpose!
Judge less, love more. Remember, everyone is fighting a battle you may not know about. And, the world needs more love. So try to be more understanding and caring each day.
Focus on the good. Whatever is good, whatever is lovely, whatever is right focus on these things. The rest… isn’t worth your time.

Surround yourself with good hearted, funny people.

Environmental Health, What’s That?

All that surrounds you, the colors, sounds, people, decor and mess… all affects your environmental health, and therefore your overall wellness. It’s often overlooked; many of us forget how “good” it feels to have a clean home or a good friend nearby. It’s because whether we realize it or not, that makes up our environment.
So, let’s focus on creating the happiest, healthiest environment for yourself and your loved ones:
Go deep. Spend a few hours a weekend working on deep cleaning and organizing your home. Or, start small with the messy closet or cupboard. You’ll feel so much better. Just take it one junk drawer at a time!
De-clutter your house to de-clutter your mind. If it’s not beautiful, joyful or memorable, rid your home of the clutter that’s just collecting dust (donate it to a local charity or someone in need).
Fill your kitchen with healthy, beautiful fruits and veggies! Not only are fruits and veggies beautiful, you’ll eat more when they’re in plain sight.
Surround yourself with good hearted, funny people. Laughing is contagious, so spend time with those that bring you joy.
Enjoy some silence. Declare a night “technology” free to just enjoy the presence of family and pets. Enjoy a peaceful and serene home without any rings, beeps or adverts in the background. Sigh, and take it all in.

Light your candles and enjoy a peaceful, serene evening at home.

Use the good stuff. Light your candles, put out the good china and wear your favorite sweaters. Stop saving your “special” things for a specific occasion, today is special enough.
Get regularly adjusted. The quality of our nervous system determines how well we can adapt to our environment and handle stress-even our ability to avoid the “bugs” that go around.
Wondering why your chiropractor is encouraging you to de-clutter your home or re-evaluate your values?
While we cherish the value of how chiropractic care enhances your health, we also believe that wellness goes beyond your physical health. We believe that it’s important to focus on all the areas of your health that come together for your truest wellness. So, let us know how your challenge is going and we’ll encourage you along the way.
Ready to get in on the fun? It’s not too late. Get started on your most productive, refreshing month, ever!

How To Recharge Your Whole Health in One Month Part 1

How To Recharge Your Whole Health in One Month

In a recent newsletter article we talked about some simple ways to recharge your health this month. We’re here to remind you that health goes beyond just your physical condition! Remember there are six aspects of your health that need attention:

Mental | Social | Spiritual | Environmental | Emotional | Physical

So, in a special three-part blog series we’re going to share some suggestions to revitalize your health, two “parts” at a time for the entire month of March. While life is hectic, we know you can do this. Why? Because it’s important, refreshing and fun!
Try to do something on the list each day. Do your best and you’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world (oh, and don’t forget to get a friend involved, too). Shall we get started?

Lets Start with Your Mental Health

Make the best out of every moment in life!

Our mental health affects the way we think, act and how we handle and get through life. It has to deal with issues such as anxiety, decision making, and simply put, our sanity. It’s often overlooked, unmentioned and sometimes forgotten about (sadly). But, it’s just as important as your physical health, because after all, all the pieces of our health come together for your overall wellness. So, this month, focus on the forgotten:

Set an exciting goal. Look for that new job you’ve been wanting, sign up for a 5k or challenge to keep your mind focused on something new and positive.

Take a break. Take a nap, watch that romantic comedy you’ve been wanting to, or plan that weekend getaway you so badly need. You deserve it, and you need it.

Keep it positive. Life is always going to be hard, so you might as well make the best of it! Plus, your positivity influences those around you, so make someone smile today with a brighter, refreshing outlook on life!

Rid your life of a stressor you’ve been avoiding. Do your laundry, deal with the stack of bills that’s been staring at you or initiate that tough conversation you’ve been meaning to. You’ll feel so much better after the weight has been lifted.

Make time for the things you love most. Take a walk in the park, enjoy a picnic, read a book, get a manicure/pedicure, watch the sunset or take a walk with a loved one. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it!

Get regularly adjusted. Your mental health is directly related to your nervous system. Make sure it’s in tip-top condition.

Next up, Your Social Health!

Your social health is how well you maintain healthy, positive relationships with those around you. By nature, we’re social creatures. So, it’s important that you have a sense of belonging and that your social needs are met and fine-tuned. So, here’s a few ideas to help your social life flourish this month:

Call a long-time friend and setup a coffee date to catch up.

Plan it! You know that ladies night out, weekend getaway or social event you’ve been craving? Now’s the time to send out the email or texts and get it on the calendar.

Pick up the phone. Call that long-time friend you haven’t talked to in months (or years)! It will feel so good to catch up.

Join forces. Call a friend to get groceries with you or ask a friend to do this health challenge too, it’ll be even more fun to share the experience with someone!

Find a sense of community. Whether joining a non-profit or volunteering somewhere for an afternoon, remember that your health is just as important as the health of your community, so give back.

Avoid unhealthy relationships. We all have them, but life’s too short to let other people get you down! Make an effort to spend time with people who are positive, happy and who will encourage and support you!

Itching to plan a picnic or call your old friend? Great! We’re here to help you achieve true wellness. And, while we believe chiropractic is part of your wellness, there’s so much more to your health. Let us know if you’re going to give this a try, we’d love to support and encourage you along the way.

Tell your friends and get started! You’ll have a better chance to stay on track when you have accountability. Plus, doesn’t planning movie night sound fun? Stay tuned for more ideas in part 2 and 3 coming later this month.

Good luck and enjoy your most productive, refreshing month, ever!
