Summer is coming up and if you are like most people, who are trying to get in shape, but have zero in on the physical aspects that accompany that resolution, then tunning up is goig to be more than just going to the gym, or running to gain physical strength, it will require mental attention and focus, as well as determination. Our mental image is very important to us, and also our responses to certain situations, so hence it's not just about getting in shape physically but mentally as well. That's how our bodies can perform at optimum function, which is achieved by chiropractic care.
Besides the dieting and the working out, accomplishing good health requires that we get our mental status and primarily our emotions, in shape as well. With less than 12 weeks until summer is here, the time to begin preparing is now. So, what are some ways in which we can do just that?
1. Make a plan for yourself
2. Make realistic goals for yourself
3. Have a friend or a workout partner to keep you accountable
4. Be prepared for hiccups, and have another plan on how to handle/overcome them.
Everyone knows the right things to do is to eat right, sleep right, and exercises, but the mind
Mental Benefits
Last month we reviewed how chiropractic can help you physically in more ways than just pain relief. Chiropractic can also keep you mentally focused by relieving the aches and pains of daily life that would normally distract you. When you feel better, you look better. When you look better, you have more confidence and your output improves. It’s just that simple. What situation exists in which improved focus wouldn’t help? Social, work and family situations benefit from being mentally sharp. Tuning up mentally for summer -- or for any time, really -- starts with getting your priorities straight. Nothing is more important than your health.
The stresses of life can cause joint restrictions, otherwise known as “joint dysfunctions” or “subluxations,” many times without you even knowing it. When spinal joints become restricted in movement, the rest of the body can be affected in ways you never thought possible. Normal nerve communication is inhibited. Your immune system can suffer. Your health can suffer. Your ability to be mentally alert and focused can suffer. Your goals suffer and eventually, your lifestyle can suffer.
