Happy Healthy Holiday Habits

The holidays are a time of great joy as well as great stress. If you don’t manage your stress properly, you could do damage to your emotional and physical self. At Lake Worth Chiropractic and Wellness, we want all our patients and people in the community to know how they can take care of their bodies and minds at this beautiful but difficult time of year.

1. Know your limits. You don’t have to agree to attend every holiday event and holiday party. By agreeing to attend some but not all holiday get togethers, you can conserve your energy and also leave time for yourself.
2. Stay organized. Organization is key to meeting your goals and reducing your stress. Make lists of gifts to buy and keep a calendar that will help you remember the dates by which you need to have purchased those gifts.
3. Establish a budget. Establish how much you can spend up front, and only spend within that range. Sticking to your budget will help you feel less stress about finances.
4. Don’t give up your exercise regimen. It’s still important to take care of your body, even if you’re busy. Continue to exercise, eat right, and get enough sleep. Limit your alcohol intake as well.
5. Take time for yourself. It’s easy to forget to relax when you’re caught up in the moment. Take time to meditate, do yoga, read a book or just have a cup of tea.
6. See your chiropractor. Tight muscles, stress and vigorous activity can lead to subluxations. Pain from subluxations can make your holidays even more difficult. Now is the time of year when it’s important to see your chiropractor on a regular basis.
