Stress Management

Keep it Positive!

Although we don’t yet fully understand the mind/body connection, we do know that positive attitude can:

  • help improve mood, self-esteem and sense of well-being
  • decrease depression, anxiety and hostility
  • lessen pain and other bodily symptoms
  • speed recovery
  • enhance immune function
  • extend longevity

We also know that to a great extent, our attitude is determined by how we decide to think about events, This “self-talk,” whether positive or negative, is so powerful that it determines not just our emotions, but the condition of our physical and mental well-being as well.

Three simple action steps to help optimize your emotional health:
  1. REALIZE YOU HAVE CONTROL. The great thing about your attitude is that it’s yours. You cannot control what others say or do, but you can control how you react to it. Simply put, no one can put you in a bad mood unless you give them permission!

  2. BE THANKFUL. Put things in perspective. You are alive, something that billions of those before us cannot say. You have food, shelter and safety. Something that millions alive today do not enjoy. Appreciate your countless blessings!

  3. DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. Remember what’s important, and ignore the little things. Focus on the larger picture and you’ll find less frustration in your daily interaction with others. The things that matter most are your health and happiness and your family’s health and happiness.

Dr. Todd Asks some important questions of interest to Hutto residents - Chiropractor Hutto Dr. Todd Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Hutto folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Hutto chiropractic practice.
