stress

I started seeing a chiropractor a few weeks ago. For everyone who does not "believe" in chiropractic medicine, stop reading *here*. For everyone else, read on.

My doctor is really great. I'm currently seeing him twice a week, but only for a couple of weeks. He has really helped and I defintely feel better! He has had me doing balance exercises, but other than that, he really hasn't asked me to change my life at all. He told me today that my body needs to learn how to adapt to my environment and life instead of the other way around.

That statement really made me think.

Can my body do that? Should I force it to do that, or should I just change the things I do? It would just be easier for my body to change. I like easy.

He said that I should begin exercising more, but that was his only recommendation, besides this. He recommends the relax into greatness mediatation cd to his patients. I may try it. I figure if it doesn't work, at least I got a few minutes of relaxation under my belt.

He says that I tend to hold stress in my spine. I figure that sounds about right. Most of the closets and storage places in our house are full, so my spine seems like the next best place to keep things. (insert chuckle *here*).

Anyway, he feels that some basic meditation would help me reduce my stress. Oh, and I need to figure out a way to not sit Indian-style on the floor when playing with the kiddos. Suggestions, anyone?
