Commit to These 6 Habits and See What Changes Happen in Your Life

We're past that 2-week hump of those New Year’s Resolutions, those "New year, new me," grand declarations of planning to change everything starting January 1st. Most people abandon their New Year's resolutions within the first 2 weeks of the year.

Instead of making huge changes, try adding small things and building on them over time. Doing small things consistently could drastically shift your ability to move through your day-to-day life.

Pick one to start with and when you feel like you're ready to add more, slowly incorporate them into your routine. Starting off with a commitment to meditate for 15 minutes a day if you have never meditated or are recommitting to it after a long sabbatical, will feel like an uphill battle. Start with 30 seconds to 1 minute and add another 30 seconds to 1 minute every 2 weeks to a month. Whatever keeps you coming back to it consistently!

Self Love & Self Care

February is all about self-love and self-care.

Self-love is an important part of life and can be practiced in many different ways.

One of the best ways to practice self-love is to make sure that you’re taking care of yourself.

Make sure that you’re getting enough rest, spending some time grounding, working on mindset practices, eating whole nutritious foods, and engaging in activities that fill YOUR cup.

It’s important to take time for yourself and do things that you enjoy. For example, you can journal or meditate, read a book, spend time in nature, cook your favorite meal, and even take the time to rest in a bath.

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, one of our favorite ways for self-care is to make sure the nervous system is free of any interference so that you can adapt to life stressors with EASE. Nervous system care is the ultimate form of self-love.

Breath Work and How it Affects the Nervous System

Did you know that utilizing breathwork can tap right into our nervous system?

When we use our full diaphragm to breathe, it activates our Vagus Nerve. Our Vagus Nerve is a powerful cranial nerve that triggers our parasympathetic nervous system allowing our body to relax.

If our body is constantly in a state of sympathetic overdrive (this is called fight or flight), our physical and emotional states are under stress and imbalance.

By breathing deeply with a slow and steady inhalation-to-exhalation ratio-- our breath can signal our parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body down and get out of a state of "stress."

Try taking 5 to 10 minutes out of your day to breathe intentionally and let us know how you feel below!

Benefits of Getting Outside

During these colder months, we find ourselves inside more often. Did you know that enjoying nature and getting sunshine has great impacts on our health? The winter months make it harder to do just that.

The lack of vitamin D can make it harder to sleep and we can begin to notice ourselves and our family getting sick more often. GET OUTSIDE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT! Take advantage when you can and try to wear as little clothing as you can get away with while still staying warm. Even if the sun isn't out, try to take a short walk outside. It can be a game-changer when you're having a rough day.

Check out the graphic above for some health benefits of getting outside. We encourage you to get outside this week and tag us @elevatedlifefc in your favorite ways to get outside during the winter! BONUS if it's with your little ones!

Your POWERFUL body!

In the past twenty-three months, much has been said about Immunity. Our nations have been bombarded ad nauseum with conflicting information regarding this topic. Natural immunity, mRNA vaccines, lockdowns, vaccine passports, human rights, coercion, censorship, Pfizer, Moderna, as well as other companies, have been the staple of conversation across the United States and Canada, and globally.

These have not been easy conversations. Some of them have alienated families, friends, towns, and states, as many government mandates have not made much sense, and seem to have been launched in the face of science. At best, they have been a knee jerk reaction to the threat of sickness. Some have even been politically exploited. I know you’re shocked.

However, in all the hubbub, it appears we have become a little “lost.” Many of you simply don’t know which way to turn. I want you to know you are not alone.

It is abundantly clear, however, most people do not understand Immunity and the role your Immune system plays in your health and wellbeing. And that is why you’re reading my words. Right?

So...What is this Immune thing you are wondering? it is the protective mechanism of your body. It is the system that makes sure you survive at all costs. It wages war with any foreign agent – any bug, germ, virus, or particle that does not belong. Anything that is not part of your body. Is not part of you. Is not you. Is foreign. An outsider. You get the picture. And its task is to annihilate this invader. Remove it. Wipe it out!

Blow it away!

Here's the really cool thing: Your Immune System is under the perfect guidance and direction of your Nervous System. Surprised? Can you see why we are so adamant you get your children and family checked in our office? It is crucial! By now you probably realize your Nervous System controls every part of your being. As I have said umpteen times, your Nervous System controls all of you – even your mental state. This relatively new all-encompassing understanding is referred to as Psychoneuroimmunology. Whew! There’s a huge word for you!

Innate Intelligence

You may be wondering: WHAT? What is that? And why is it so important? I’ve used these words when explaining your recovery to you, so here it is:

It has been coined the ‘Wisdom of the Body” by some, “Nature” by others, and “The Force” by George Lucas, producer of Star Wars. Chiropractors refer to this force as Innate Intelligence. It simply refers to your body’s own organizational ability and its ability to self-heal, self-regulate, self-thrive, and self-adapt. 

Deepak Chopra said it best: “Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies . . . our own intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside.” 

There is a force we have inside us that guides our growth, our development, and our life. Examples of this force are ever present and are in our everyday environment. 

My very favorite is the bumblebee. You may not even be aware of this, but it never ceases to amaze me. According to scientists and computer models, the bumblebee can’t fly. Because of its weight, and ratio of its wings to its weight, the dihedral angle of wind assault, the speed of wing movements and other physical variables, it is mathematically impossible for a bumblebee to fly. However, bumblebees do not know this and fly anyway, defying all laws of science known to man. 

Did you know, for example, that every second of your life billions of cells in your body are breaking down foods, they are dying, and they are being reborn? Nerves are shooting information all over your very being and your lunch is being turned into muscle cells, heart cells, and skin cells. Damaged tissues are repaired and replaced, germs and cancer cells killed every minute, and the production of your cells and all chemical processes – approximately 150,000 - are being monitored every second. And all this amazing and wondrous activity takes place while you are sleeping, reading, or driving your car. Amazing, is it not? That is the wisdom of your body — Innate Intelligence.
