Holiday Stress Relief

Stress can negatively impact your mood, social interactions but more importantly your physical health. With time constraints, packed schedules and too many commitments on top of the already busy holiday planning, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and stressed out.

To stay balanced, relaxed and calm, it’s necessary every so often to regroup, decompress and focus on yourself.

1. Don’t feel guilty. No one person can do it all, so learn your limits and be satisfied with them.
2. Be a little selfish once in a while by scheduling “me time” - it will help keep you grounded and in touch with your thoughts and feelings.
3. Take the time to enjoy the little things. Read a book, start an art project, work in the garden or treat yourself to a massage.

From the Desk of Dr. Steve

Let me start by saying we had a great “Friends and Family Day” on Nov. 14th.

I want to thank everyone who joined us and for bringing your friends and family! We are already seeing some great results with people feeling better. Thank You.

Theresa and I spent a great Thanksgiving with too much food and a bunch of great friends. I also learned you can get a workout in while playing various games on the Wii.

As the busy holiday season approaches, all of us here at Green Lake Chiropractic & Nutritional Healing want to remind you to take care of yourself. You may experience extra stress and be tempted by some really bad food but take the time to be selfish and care for yourself.

If you need help or guidance on food choices, or anything at all, just let us know. We are always here to help.

Yours in Health,
Dr. Steve
