Chronic stress wreaking havoc on your body and mind? Discover how the Magnasphere treatment, combined with chiropractic care and lifestyle adjustments, can help you reclaim your peace. We’ll explore practical stress management techniques and offer personalized solutions to help you thrive.
This month we are talking about stress and nerves. Experiencing chronic stress without any relief can disrupt the body’s internal balance, negatively impacting both physical and mental health. Physical effects can include headaches, digestive issues, skin problems (e.g., eczema or acne), high blood pressure, chest pain, menstrual problems, and trouble sleeping. Mental effects can include depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. When you have severe and persistent stress, the autonomic nervous system becomes overactive, resulting in a constant, unhealthy fight-or-flight response.
Managing Stress with Magnasphere treatments
People that come to us for stress relief are usually pleasantly surprised to learn about the Magnasphere and how we integrate nutrition and chiropractic to alleviate the pain from stress.
Stephanie Horner says, “I feel amazing since I had the Magnesphere treatment today. My body feels light. I can’t really describe how I feel but my brain is clear and bright. And for lack of a better way to describe it my arms and legs feel light. About halfway through the session I started feeling vibrations in my abdominal area. Amazing!!”
Stress Management Check List
Focus on what can be controlled today, this week, this month, this quarter.
Prioritize a to-do list. Making a to-do list helps the mind let go of stressful thoughts regarding required tasks. Scratching an item off the to-do list can create a feeling of accomplishment. Do you enjoy making lists and crossing items off! And has anyone added something they already completed, just so they could cross it off? Anyone? ???? ☑️
When your mind feels like it’s spinning or stuck on a thought, try jotting down what you are thinking about. The act of journaling can help organize it in your thoughts and decrease your stress about it.
Taking control of stressful, routine tasks helps to build confidence. For example, leaving earlier for work or taking a new route can ease the stress of traffic. Preparing lunch can ease the stress of waiting in a line during lunchtime. Avoid bothersome people. Say “no.”
What helps you de-stress?
