Maximising Creativity When You Feel “Blah”
Feeling stuck in a creative rut? We’ve all been there! Here are some simple tips to reignite your creative spark:
Change Your Environment: Sometimes, a new perspective is all you need. Go for a walk, visit a park, or even rearrange your workspace.
Try Something New: Break the monotony by exploring a new hobby or skill. Painting, cooking, or even trying a new workout can inspire fresh ideas.
Stay Active: Exercise boosts your mood and energy levels, which are essential for creativity. A short walk or a quick workout can do wonders!
Mindfulness and Relaxation: Take a few minutes to meditate or practice deep breathing. Clearing your mind can make room for new ideas.
And remember, a healthy nervous system is crucial for maintaining your creativity. Visit SpineLab to ensure your nervous system is free-flowing and ready to support your creative endeavors!
Shoes to Avoid if You Have Back Pain
Struggling with back pain? Your shoes might be to blame! High heels, while stylish, can throw off your posture and put extra strain on your lower back. Opt for lower heels or flats with good arch support to keep your spine aligned and reduce discomfort.
Flip-flops, though casual favourites, offer little to no support, causing your feet to work harder and potentially leading to back pain. Instead, choose sandals with arch support and cushioning to keep your feet and back happy.
Worn-out shoes are another culprit. Shoes that have lost their shape and support can contribute to improper alignment and back pain. Regularly check your footwear for signs of wear and replace them as needed to maintain proper support.
Wearing the right shoes is a simple step towards a pain-free back. For more personalised advice and to keep your spine in top shape, visit us at SpineLab.
3 Relaxation Techniques Before Your Chiropractic Visit
Getting ready for your chiropractic visit at SpineLab? Here are three simple relaxation techniques to help you feel calm and centreed before your session:
Deep Breathing: Take a few minutes to focus on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this a few times to release tension.
Stretching: Gentle stretches can help ease muscle tension and improve circulation. Try a few basic stretches like reaching for your toes, rolling your shoulders, or doing some gentle neck rotations.
Visualisation: Close your eyes and imagine a peaceful place. Whether it’s a serene beach, a quiet forest, or a cozy room, visualize yourself there, feeling calm and relaxed.
