We all know the holidays are upon us, and along with them come the usual holiday stress. Unrealistic expectations, financial worries, too many commitments… What can you do to decrease your stress this holiday season? Macomb Township Chiropractichas five ways to help you do this. We all know that stress not only contributes to headaches, migraines, muscle aches, and neck and back pain, but it also causes other health issues such as anxiety, depression, lack of sleep, and other illnesses. So what can you do?Get plenty of rest and don’t forget to BREATHE. Our bodies need oxygen. 10 minutes of deep breathing a day calms the nervous system and has a deep cleansing effect on our bodies and minds. Try meditation or just find a quiet spot each day away from the noise and everyone around you.
Maintain HEALTHY EATING HABITS. It’s ok to indulge a bit during the holidays, but make time for healthy eating and snacking. Plan out easy fix meals in advance and store easy to grab snacks in the fridge such as cheese cubes, celery or carrot sticks, or apple slices. Fill Ziploc baggies in the cupboard with nuts, dried fruits or other low fat snacks for on the go eating. Healthy eating helps maintain our immune system to function properly, balances our moods, and gives us the energy we need.
Don’t allow yourself to become overwhelmed. It’s ok to SAY NO sometimes. Planning too much and doing too much can add extra stress and leave you feeling frazzled. Schedule your time wisely and don’t feel you have to do all that you are being asked to do. Saying no occasionally gives you more time to say yes to the events you really want to attend.
EXERCISE. Find time to exercise during the holiday season. This can be a quick trip to the gym or just a 10-20 minute walk each day. Exercise has a positive effect on the body. Not only is it proven to relieve stress, but it releases endorphins, which are the feel-good neurons in our brains.
Get regular CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS. Chiropractic adjustments reduce muscle tension, help relieve neck and back pain, relieve pressure on the nerves in your spine which can be causing numbness, tingling, and sciatic pain in the body, reduce inflammation, and give headache relief caused by tension and stress.
