It's Your Life 🌞

The Chiropractic Lifestyle is the key to a long and healthy life. Living your life in this way addresses mobility, strength, and healthy food intake. The only other thing you should manage would be your stress levels.

Stress can be physical, mental, or chemical. We are bombarded by stress from every direction on a daily basis. Stress is like gravity, there is no escaping it. Therefore, stress must be managed. Managing stress is specific to the type of stress. 

Physical stress is something you can minimize by maintaining good posture and ergonomics at work. How you lift things, sit, stand, and many other factors like hobbies, can be accumulative and slowly wear and tear on your body. A strategical minimization of stress is a valid approach when done in conjunction with increasing your stress capacity by making yourself stronger. The stronger your body, then the more physical stress you can endure before you reach critical levels.

Mental stress needs to be managed by controlling your reactions to events, responsibilities, and social interactions. The key is to THINK before you REACT. When you feel yourself starting to react to something, pause, breathe, and wait for the feeling to subside. You are in total control of your emotions and you choose how you feel on a daily basis. Meditation is also another way you can calm your mind and let go of anxiety, guilt, sorrow, and stress.

If you let mental stress sabotage your life, it can have the same effects as physical stress and even be detrimental to your cardiovascular health and hormone regulation. With high mental stress, you can experience abnormal muscle tension, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, emotional fluctuations, increased blood pressure, and high cortisol levels.

Reducing chemical stress is a no-brainer. It’s hard to avoid all chemicals in the environment because they are everywhere. However, you don’t have to purposely ingest chemicals on a regular basis. This can be accomplished by eating organic food, eliminating alcohol, stopping smoking, and don’t do drugs.

Stress can encompass many aspects of your life. Take action now and apply some of these strategies to help reduce the burden of stress in your life.

Carpe diem!
