What does self-care mean to you? Does it mean taking a walk outside, meditating, or writing in your journal? Or, does it simply mean taking a sip of water and calling it a day, eating a piece of fruit for the first time in weeks, or writing things in your planner that you already did just so you can cross it out and feel accomplished.
All kidding aside, in this new “age of anxiety,” self-care has become essential. The intentional process of dedicating oneself to protecting and sustaining physical and mental health is not selfish and is in fact, a necessary action backed by science. Building a healthy immune system through self-care comes in different forms, whether that’s quieting the inner toxic critic and practicing self-compassion; sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise habits; spending time with loved ones that support you; finding time for leisure, fun and relaxation; or finding a quiet place away from distractions, screens and duties.
At Glen Rock Spine & Rehab, our goal is to empower our patients to take control of their health, vibrancy and well-being, so that they have the tools to live their best life. It’s not about waiting for red flags and wake-up calls. It’s about healing, strengthening and maintaining maximum health through well-rounded care.
