Change is in the Air
For many of us, New Year's Day, January 1st, is often seen as a chance for a fresh start. But September 1st can also be an opportunity to renew or even change the direction of goals we might have set for this year.
A new school term has begun. That means new classes, books, new clothes, new backpacks and the return to a routine of rise and shine and schedules. Fall sports have kicked off and yes, the light of day has been changing too. And though I have always been a big fan of those lovely 8:30 pm sunsets, our hemisphere is already transitioning from high humidity into crisp air mornings.
Everything around us must and does change. And we are so fortunate that our bodies are designed to adapt to it all. Your nerve system is already set to assist you with the adjusted rhythms of sleep, changes of daylight and temperatures. Feel a sudden chill? You shiver! Perfectly, the body generates a bit more heat. Even the lining in your lungs is clearing now to lay down a fresh layer of mucosal protection needed for the coming winter months.
As Autumn draws near, consider taking stock in what changes in your schedule or health goals might serve you best. These early September days are a great time to re-assess how you envision the rest of the year to go, based on your original goals for the year.
Do a self-care check, both inside and out. What habits and routines worked for you this summer that you want to continue? How are you doing with getting enough rest, hydration, exercise, quiet time? Have you made your home surrounding to be a place of serenity to aid in releaseing stress? Do you have quality time friends and loved ones?
What would benefit you to include and renew you this fall? If you've been out of synch with your chiropractic adjustments, now is a great time to schedule you and your family! Back to School and Back to Better Health! We are already seeing many of you in for care after vacation time, and have shared fond farewells too to our chiro kids off to college campus.
How can you help others embrace the change of season? As you'll read below, the month of September and especially 9/18 is a very special time to celebrate our profession!
Challenge: Can you think of three people whose lives would be changed for the better with experiencing chiropractic for themselves? In honor of Chiropractic's birthday, we will have 10 special new patient certificates at the front desk. To make it fun, simply write 'adjust4life' on a piece of paper and hand it to Donna. She'll give you a coupon to gift to a friend or loved one to assist them in their first appointment. Help someone you know make a wonderful change and 'fall back into better health'. so they can experience how adjustments can change their life like yours did!
Happy September!
I’ll see you on the tables.
