Health is so much more...
When most people think of being "healthy", they think of trying to lose weight, or lift weight. They think of a plate full of veggies and an athlete hard at work.
β‘οΈ Although food and movement are extremely powerful medicines that can keep the body free of disease and injury, the "other stuff" should never be understated.
To live a truly "healthy" life, you need to prioritize the pure joys, too. They can be simple β art, reading a book, talking with a loved one, looking through old photos, journaling, music, nature, the list is endless.
Engaging in the things that refuel your mental bandwidth and make you feel grounded WILL impact your health. These things impact the nervous system in a real, palpable way.
π€ In this session of physical therapy, I made extra time to do a birthday week manicure. We had fun picking the color and yapping away while the paint dried.
What do you think would have left my patient feeling better...doing a few extra sets of wheelchair squats? or, showing off her cute mint green nails, and feeling beautiful?
You deserve holistic healthcare. π
