- REMEMBER TO BREATHE PROPERLY. Just because you are breathing, doesn’t mean you are doing it well. Deep breathing allows for the vital exchange of gases like oxygen, as well as relaxation of muscles.
- WATCH YOUR POSTURE. Someone that is stressed or depressed will almost always have poor posture. Simply by changing your posture can change the levels of your stress. Whether sitting, standing or lying, imagine your spine is being gently stretched and lengthened.
- REGULAR EXERCISE. There is plenty of research now that shows people who exercise regularly experience less stress – try to take a 30 minute walk daily.
- HAVE A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. Too often we get caught up in the “stuff” of day-to-day living, instead of focusing of what is really important.
- NURTURE YOUR PHYSICAL BEING. Eat wholesome foods, get plenty of rest and keep your body balanced with regular chiropractic adjustments.
