Here we are in 2009. While civilization continues to make huge advancements in many areas of our lives, the world somehow keeps getting crazier, busier - seemingly spinning more out of our control than ever before.
Foreclosures. Recession. Depression - Oh my!
Where and when is it going to end?
Well, because we truly can't control the majority of these above mentioned happenings, we really shouldn't spend time worrying about them.
At the beginning of this year in our office, we came up with a mantra that seems to still be holding its own now half-way through the year.
"Take this time to regain control of your health, and that of your family and friends'. You can't control the stock market, layoffs, wars, world hunger, etc., but what you can control is...YOUR HEALTH!"
What we've seen since adopting this new attitude is an overwhelmingly positive response from patients. While the majority have been showing up tense, locked-up, and in pain - they are leaving rejuvenated, more focused and de-stressed.
Now is the time to focus on your health more than ever. Combining a full-night's sleep with proper nutrition and hydration, some form of daily exercise, and regular body maintenance is exactly the recipe your body needs.
Respect yourself, your family, and your friends for the rest of 2009 and focus on the simple things in life you can control.
