TAKE TIME FOR SELF CARE
The month of May celebrates moms, veterans, and the importance of mental health and self care. Dr. Anderson shares some great self care tips and suggestions we can all benefit from.
1. Schedule a spa day that includes a body massage. Massages trigger a relaxation response in the body, reduces anxiety, and enhances mood. Then treat yourself to a facial to sooth the muscles and meet the demands of skincare.
2. In days filled with emails and text messages, give yourself a break from the digital. Whether that’s reading, painting, puzzling, or taking a stroll outside, spend some time to reset away from a screen.
3. For a little adventure, if you find yourself able to commit to a longer stretch of time, hiking, biking and kayaking are all great seasonal activities. Get some fresh air and enjoy nature. Give yourself some time for rest & relaxation.
4. And of course, Cornerstone Chiropractic is here to help you find the relief your aching body needs. Schedule your appointment and let us help you heal better, feel better. Call us at (214) 383-9170.
