Did you know that July 24th is International Self-Care Day?
Well, let’s all take that as our reminder to start reintroducing self-care into our daily routines and taking proactive steps to manage our health in whatever way feels right for us.

Make Yourself a Priority

There are so many ways you can integrate self-care into your day, and with that, there’s no right or wrong way to do it. So, whether you have 2 minutes or 2 hours to spare, prioritizing some self-care habits can help you to regularly check in with yourself, which in turn, will enhance your overall well-being.

Don’t know where to begin?

Here are some of our doctors’ favorite self-care habits that everyone can integrate into their daily routines:

1. Drink a big glass of water the moment you wake up.
2. Take an extra minute in the shower to give yourself a head massage as you apply shampoo.
3. Listen to your favorite song and sing it LOUD before work.
4. Take a moment to write down how you’re feeling at the beginning of the day.
5. Pick up a piece of fruit for lunch.
6. Book an adjustment for later this month.
7. Call a loved one just to see how they’re doing.
8. Go for a walk in a green area and simply listen to the sounds of nature.
9. Take dedicated breaks from your phone and technology (these can be as short as 5 minutes or as long as you need).
10. After a long day of work, say one thing out loud that you’re grateful for.
11. Take a warm bath.
12. Light a scented candle.
13. Give yourself a foot massage.
14. Listen to an audiobook or a fun podcast.
15. Stretch your body.

One of the best ways to practice self-care is by getting adjusted. Chiropractic care can help you be at your best physically and mentally.
