Are you stressed out?
The answer is most of us are, in one way or another. The combination of physical, chemical and emotional stress is what impacts our health and moves us in a direction of sickness and illness rather than wellness.
I would like to simplify what each of these physical, chemical and emotional stressors are, so you can recognize what you need to improve or remove. Then I will give you the natural holistic alternative approaches you can use to counteract these stresses. Here's the list.
I. Physical Stressors
· Poor posture (standing, sitting, laying down)
· Overweight
· Lack of exercise / incorrect exercise
· Poor / not enough sleep
· Traumas, falls, accidents
II. Chemical Stressors
· Poor diet / processed foods / additives / preservatives
· Sugar
· Soda
· Caffeine
· Alcohol
· Tobacco
· Prescription drugs / over the counter medications
· Environmental / EMR
III. Emotional Stressors
· Relationships
· Finances
· Time
· Work / School
· Anger, worry, fear
Now, from these 3 main categories choose the areas you need to work on and either improve, delete or minimize in your life. This is a process. Choose 1 or 2 at a time.
Here are 7 action steps you can do on your own:
· Improve your diet
· Start an exercise program
· Be conscious of your posture
· Have a more loving attitude
· Drink more water
· Get more sleep
· Meditate
Here are some alternative practitioners that you can visit for help and support.
· Chiropractor
· Acupuncturist
· Massage therapist
· Nutritionist
· Yoga Instructor
· Pilates Instructor
· Feldenkrais Instructor
· Alexander instructor
· Reiki Instructor
I believe we need to have a combination of making changes on our own along with working with a qualified health care professional that was previously mentioned. Of course, always consult your physician for any medical issues you deem necessary. In closing, keep it simple, understand what your weaknesses are and DO something about it. Maintain a great attitude, work diligently toward improving your life and your health, get some support and be persistent. If you tap into your awesome resources your patience and confidence will be rewarded.
OUR PRODUCT OF THE WEEK IS ...
The 'Power Vibe' whole body vibration (WBV) exercise machine. I have just brought WBV into my office for those of you who may be having a hard time motivating yourself to exercise.
The controversy over this form of exercise is that it is hard to believe that all you have to do is stand or sit on it in different positions, turn it on so the plate vibrates and 5 minutes of this is equivalent to 20-30 minutes of exercise.
My offer to you is for you to try it, with no obligation. For $40.00 a month unlimited use, if you are not satisfied you will receive a full 100% money back guarantee.
The upside is there are many studies showing the benefit of this machine along with many patients that have had some phenomenal changes from WBV. Be an educated health care consumer and try it for yourself.
