We all need down time, but many of my patients are always on the go!! So many of you have children that are involved in all sorts of activities or aging parents that require attention. Also, many of you have job demands that exceed the 8 hour a day and require weekends. And many of you have the type of job that requires huge outputs of energy, such as nursing, police officers, teachers, supervisory, etc. Regardless of what we do we all need some time off to relax, slow down, and build our energy back up. Sometimes we can't do that, but what I encourage you to do is stop for 5 minutes during the day and just take some deep breaths, blank out the job stuff, and think about the things that you are grateful for. Just this simple exercise will pay big dividends if done daily!!
Speaking of down time, I need some myself. I will be on vacation from April 22nd through May 1st. Please pay attention to your medicine needs now and alert me before April 22 if you need refills as I will not be available by phone or email during that time.
As always take care of yourself and do your utmost to stay groovy!
