Self-care in Practice

People always ask me how I manage to get everything done on my list. My to-do list is often quite long, and I find myself scratching my head at the things I say yes to.

​However, I’ve learned that I can accomplish almost anything as long as I establish clear boundaries around my self-care. 💥

Self-care in my world requires boundaries. Self-care means dedicating a short period of time each day to taking care of myself instead of focusing on everybody else. 

Each day, I move my body. 
Each day, I challenge my mind. 
Each day, I connect with a loved one. 
Each day, I prioritize rest. 

If I let one of these things go, everything else comes crumbling down, and believe me, I do let them go. There are days, sometimes weeks, when I become disconnected from my need for self-care. 

I can feel it infiltrate my every decision, every movement, every interaction. 
I feel less clear. 
I feel less balanced. 

I would say that among all of the things I do regularly to take care of myself, having a chiropractor whom I trust and see regularly is my top priority. Every time I get adjusted when I see my chiropractor, I feel a sense of renewal. I feel a surge of energy that propels me forward. 

From this point forward, I will do better. ✔️
From this point forward, I will move better. 🏃🏼‍♀️
From this point forward, I will live better. 🙌🏼

That’s what getting adjusted does for me, and I’ve benefited from it for over 30 years. I’m so grateful for the constant reminders (people, places, and things) that keep me moving forward with my self-care plan. 

So, many people scratch their heads in curiosity and ask me where to start. My suggestion is always to begin by finding a chiropractor who you trust. Then, make sure you have a movement plan, and a plan for nurturing and nourishing your body on a daily basis. 

Every meal, every bite, every moment of rest, every stretch, every sweat - each of them matters. Each one moves you forward in your journey.
