It's Time To Feel Better
Start HereDid you know that 60-90% of all visits to the doctor are directly related to STRESS? Stress has a debilitating affect on our bodies that many of us are not aware of.
So what can we do to minimize it in our daily lives? Lets Disconnect or “unplug” from the cacophony and chaos of life:
The key to unplugging is tuning into YOU. What does an unplugged life look and feel like to you? It might be going off the grid, pursuing your creative passions more, spending more time laughing with friends, releasing a few of those extra-curricular activities you felt you HAD to do, a weekend retreat, or an extended holiday once or twice a year where you don’t have to budget or plan too much.
Unplugging is an act of separating ourselves from what doesn’t align with our values and our heart-centred desires. Saying no to the fears and the things that don’t serve us, and saying yes to our dreams, and to the life connection we crave.
There’s going to come a time, not long after you arise when
the world starts pulling at you – whether it’s a hungry child,
a spouse that needs help, your scheduled train departure, or
an email from your boss or client asking where the completed
project is.
When that first pull begins I can guarantee your day will
become a domino effect of endless pulls. Before you know it,
it’s 9 pm and you’re collapsing in bed with eyes already
closed.
Where’s the time for you?
It’s essential to slot time in for yourself the minute you
wake up. If that means you wake a little earlier, than wake.
You’ll soon discover the benefits of starting your day with
you.
Even, if you can only manage five minutes, then do it.
I gift almost an hour to myself of a morning. If for some
reason, the chaos takes control back and I miss it, I notice
the discontent and grumblings within.
If you can’t do this, ask yourself why? What are you fearing?
Why would you avoid giving yourself some quiet serenity and
time just to listen to the birds and the beating of your
heart?
I promise you, you deserve it.
If you persist in not doing it, then I beg you to do one
thing:
NEVER make social media the first thing you bring into your
world of a morning.
You may think it’s super cool to show your Snapchat followers
your just-woke-up tousled hair and sleepy eyes, but in doing
so, you are giving away the chance to start the day with
peace, clarity, and your own visions and dreams.
You open social media you get pulled into other people’s
dramas and demands, and you lose control.
Nobody else is more important than you. Give yourself space to
breathe and connect with YOU. What’s important to your day
today?
Five minutes to breathe, contemplate, and feel grateful for
breathing is the perfect start.
The world’s a chaotic mess. It’s a given. Turn off the news and you’ll have an entirely different perspective. Turn off the news for at least a week. Then watch it again and pay careful attention to how it makes you feel. I never watch it or read it or listen to it. If it infiltrates my space, I feel sick, a little dead inside, and unplugged from what’s so pure and lovable about life.
Unplugging from the chaos also includes reconnecting to a healthier inside! It can be a chaotic exercise in itself to transform your diet. So start slow. Introduce one new super food into your diet (a week if you can).
Understand the power of our subconscious mind. It creates your reality. Feed your mind with the world you want to create.
Embrace the spirit of it by venturing into a new area close to home. It may even be something as simple as trying a new exotic restaurant, learning to salsa dance, or taking up language classes.
It’s better out than in. That’s why we journal. The chaos of
life causes us to stuff down many of the pressures, anxieties,
disgruntlement, frustrations and dissatisfactions of the day.
Soon you’re overstuffed, and there is only one way for them to
come out – in a dysfunctional way.
Take 10 minutes of every evening to write about what you’re
stuffing. Let it come out. Nobody is going to read it. Once
you clear the junk, clarity has space to speak its wisdom to
you.
Finish your journaling with three things you’re grateful for
each day.
Whether it’s a TV show, or watching the birds outside, spend a little time watching that you enjoy or that uplifts you.
Setting boundaries may be something you find difficult to
do.
By boundaries, I mean definite “No. Stop encroaching on my
time and stealing my energy.”
Start small. Once you do and you notice the freedom and
control you’ll feel, the more you’ll extend those
boundaries.
You cannot be everything to everyone. Be strict with your time
and spend it on what is important to you.
You can train people how to treat you.
Focus less on what you want to do and achieve and more on how you want to feel. Pursue those things that make you feel that way. Any opportunity or demand that enters your life that does not make you feel that way, you have permission to say no.
Say no more the jammed up plugged in lifestyle, and yes more to deeper connections to yourself, to mother nature, and to those you love.

I had some chronic back problems when I decided to give Balance Chiropractic Clinic a visit. Dr. Troy Norris performed an evaluation and determined I had two pinched nerves. I have been going to see him for the past couple months and feel 10 times better.

Holistic approach and gentle treatment for chronic back issues. Professional and welcoming. Excellent explanations of technical aspects of health problems. I am very hopeful to regain pain-free movement and grateful the office works with my out-of-network insurance. Definitely worth it!
