Summer travel and relaxed schedules can easily distract you from health and wellness routines. But as the season ends, it’s a perfect time to think about updated plans and goals for wellness. The chiropractors at South Main Chiropractic Clinic in High Point, NC, offer the following tips to jump-start wellness.

4 Simple Chiropractor-Recommended Wellness Tips

1. Begin a Meditation Routine

Start a meditation practice this fall as a part of getting back to essential wellness. Meditation has been proven to help manage stress levels, create a feeling of well-being, decrease blood pressure, improve or mitigate insomnia, and reduce anxiety. There are many great resources to help you start meditating at home, including apps for your phone, guided recordings, and informative podcasts.

2. Maintain Physical Activity

Stay committed to regular exercise by joining a walking or running group. Or, search for a gym or yoga studio that offers a variety of classes and times to fit your schedule. At work, consider a standing desk or using a yoga ball instead of a chair to minimize posture and pain issues that come from sitting for long periods of time. Take stairs, walk to work or school, or walk to errands during the lunch hour. Get creative with how to integrate more basic exercise into your day.

3. Upgrade Nutrition

Fall is a perfect time to refocus on better nutrition for the whole family. This doesn’t have to be an all-out overhaul, but instead commit to making one or two significant changes. Choose one day of the week to eat vegetarian, for example, or one day that is sugar-free. Making small changes over time is an easier way to create lasting shifts. Talk to your doctor or chiropractor about nutritional needs and concerns. Many chiropractors are also well-trained in nutrition and vitamin and supplement support. 

4. Engage in Meaningful Activities

Schedules are busy between work and school, but it’s important to have at least one activity that brings meaning to your life. This may be volunteering at a local animal shelter or soup kitchen, singing in your church choir, or reading life-affirming books. Begin to cultivate a community of friends who enjoy sharing these meaningful activities with you to foster off-line relationships and real-time communication.

Keeping well, both physically and emotionally, is an ongoing practice. By following the simple tips above, you can jump-start your wellness routines.
