Are you stressed out about self care?

Everyone is saying take more time for yourself. Thinking about letting your to-do list go and jumping in a bubble bath creates more anxiety than refreshment because you have so much on your mind!  We get it!  

We have learned that self care is about a lot more than bubbles and baths.

Practical Self Care that won’t leave you more stressed and behind: 

  • Take 10 minutes to clean the kitchen before you head to bed 
  • Each day after, take 5 minutes to look at your schedule for the day and mentally prioritize where you need to spend your energy and focus. 
  • Take 2 hours on the weekend to prep and plan meals and snacks for the week. 
  • Buy back some precious time and use instant cart or grocery pickup.
  • Spend time with friends walking or meal prepping.  We are creating and building quality relationships and also setting ourselves up for success for the week.
  • Start your day with a healthy breakfast. You would not believe the momentum this will build for you throughout the day. 
  • Make time to move your body. Either getting the gym, going for a walk or meeting friends for a Zumba class. This is the self care that keeps on giving! 

These things may be adding tasks to your day but the goal is to add to give back.  They will give your the joy, peace of mind and fulfillment that will keep you energized and crushing the week no matter how busy it is! 

 

Remember to recharge yourself as much as you do your phone! 

Self care is all the rage these days!  We really do need to recharge so that we can keep the high paced, scheduled to the max lives that we all live. But how do you do that?  

 

If someone tells me to take another bubble bath I am going to scream!

 

Self care does not have to be bubble baths and pedicures.  If you are feeling stressed to the max and not sure how to restore or recharge without feeling more behind.  Check out our Practical Self Care Tips! 

Range of Motion. What is it & Why does it matter?

Range of motion (ROM) refers to how far you can move or stretch a part of your body, such as a joint or a muscle.

Range of motion is important because if it is limited it can cause pain and limitations in the things you do everyday. Think putting on a seat belt or putting some time on a tall shelf or overhead. It can also cause compensation patterns that may lead to more dysfunction in your exercise routine.

We have a 9 point assessment that we can evaluate your range of motion if you feel like you might be limited, let us know and we can test it out. We can do this remotely too. We do not have to be in person so if you’re out of state or county no problem We can still help.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CaqSHK9FW5L/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We don’t control WHAT happens. We control HOW WE RESPOND to what happens.

Stress should energize us, motivate us, and push us. When the stress becomes too much is when it drags us down. If we find that we are fatigued, exhausted, or feeling depleted, likely our stress load is too much.

Our perception of our stress has a great deal to do with how much it affects our health. If we can respond how we react to what happens in life no matter how stressful or a nerving the less effective stress will have on her overall health.

Focus on what you can control and that is your response not the whole situation.

Do you want to know how many days I’m motivated to eat well and exercise? ⁣
⁣
1 out of 10 probably!! ⁣
⁣
I do it because I’ve created the routine, the habits and the lifestyle to support my goals. Not because I feel motivated!⁣
⁣
Motivation wains quickly. ⁣
⁣
We push routines & habits. ⁣
⁣
When you eat well and move because it’s simply what you do there is much less motivation needed. ⁣
⁣
What do you do daily… out of routine not out of motivation?
