Recommitting to your health goals



I had one of those mornings this morning. Feeling flat,tired and generally out of sorts.

I put it down to my 'cheat' day yesterday. Being a Sunday I ate what I wanted and had a day off exercise. I paid for it. While the cheat days are a vital part of tricking your body and changing up your metabolism,it can certainly affect your moods in more ways than you can imagine.


So when it came time to hit the gym today,a part of me wanted to opt out,and I tried all sorts of excuses to just go and put my feet up!


But as I say to my patients who are seeking health and exercise advice.."The hardest part about exercising is actually getting your shoes on and getting out the door!!"

But it does go to show just how easy it is to "get off the wagon" and lose sight of our Health and Wellness goals...and the longer we stay off track and off focus,the harder it is to claw it back.

It wasn’t that long ago that many of us resolved to make changes in our lives.

What happened?

Consider some of the traits of those who keep new, healthier habits:

They believe in their ability to change. They know that keeping old habits and forming new ones are choices that are within their control.

They don’t blame themselves or make excuses. Instead of giving up after “falling off the wagon,” they dust themselves off and recommit to their goal.

They learn from their mistakes, and resolve not to repeat them. They concentrate on measurable results. They track their progress.

They make change a long-term lifestyle decision. Abandoning unhealthy habits requires thinking long term.

If you’ve fallen out of the habit of exercise,clean eating and regular, preventative chiropractic care, it’s not too late! Get back on track today.

Your future is determined by your present actions. All the groundwork that you do now,will reap you the rewards tomorrow.Be disciplined in how you treat your body,and in turn your body will serve you well. It is never too late to change your lifestyle,but remember that making changes to your diet,exercise routine and mental state of mind should become a habit and not a fad. Surround yourself with like minded people and live the life that you deserve. Chiropractic healthcare is just a small part of the big picture,but it is an essential part.

The Power of Chiropractic

Image
Chiropractic is far more than just "clicking bones" and "aligning the spine." Chiropractic is about achieving the optimal potential of the body,and ensuring that there is no nerve interference. When the body can work as it is designed to,then many 'symptoms' take care of themselves. This is why I refer to my favourite phrase of "finding the cause rather than treat a symptom." Bed wetting is a great example of that. I have had many young children over the years who have been brought in to me to 'treat' bed wetting. I don't claim to heal patients of any condition,including bed wetting. But what I do claim is this. I'll 'adjust' the spine and relieve the spine of any mechanical dysfunction and any spastic musculature,that could possibly be impinging on the nervous system. I'll deliver specific adjustments to a specific bone and move it in a specific direction. Once the nervous system dysfunction has been addressed

Create the fear then retract it

“Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said.”  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html?fbclid=IwAR2r5WPKxZUVIyVWb1Pqt2Z8pkI3w7iEL05baC_mJ51UhyD4eYQjJbRh_4Q "From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It' s very rare." Very convenient to create the fear then try and retract it now.
