Managing Fight or Flight Naturally

Finding Balance: Managing 'Fight or Flight' Naturally 🌿

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of 'fight or flight' mode. This can be extra true when it comes to the holiday season...

Here are our favorite ways to find balance with the stress of the holidays:

-Chiropractic care allows the nervous system to function optimally and in a state of ease. While we can't remove external stressors (even though we wish we could), the body is functioning correctly, allowing for better adaptation to any stressors. This removes us from a fight or flight pattern and into a state of ease.

-Deep and intentional breath patterns can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, helping you find calm amidst the chaos.

-Don't forget the power of the great outdoors. Step outside, soak up the fresh air and feel your stress melt away. Even though it may be cold outside, breathing in fresh air and moving your body is another natural "tool" to feel more balanced!

-Time management can go a long way. Prioritize tasks, set achievable goals, and create space for relaxation.
