Back to School

It's September and that means, for many people, a change in schedule and routine. As people get back into the swing of things, I have noticed this transition is a welcomed one as the family unit gets back on a schedule. For others, it can be a stressful time because life's pendulum swings in another direction.

When the body is not functioning at it's best, added stress and change can be difficult to integrate. We experience life through our nerve system and if there are disconnections or blocks to nerve flow due to spinal subluxations that decrease the function and movement of the spine, then the body struggles to maintain and achieve homeostasis. Signs and symptoms of this occurring in children and adults can range from emotional to physical expressions. Some such manifestations might be irritability, trouble sleeping, depression, lack of concentration, mental fogginess to pain in the body, digestive challenges or hormonal imbalances. Many people may not express any signs or symptoms and yet their body may be working hard.

We teach in our studio that it's essential to care for ourselves when we are feeling good and when we are feeling bad. This is wellness. What kind of deposits are you making into yours and your family's health on a daily basis?

The 5 components to a healthy lifestyle are:

1. A positive mental attitude. Practice with affirmations.
2. A healthy diet. Want to feel more alive, eat more live foods!
3. Rest and relaxation. Meditate 15 minutes every day.
4. Exercise. You gotta move that body 20-30 minutes every day!
5. A healthy nerve system. Get your spine checked by a chiropractor!

My rule of them in life is...more goods are better than less bads!
