Controlling the Controllables

These are unprecedented times. The unknown creates confusion. And, confusion leads to fear and panic. The world and our lives have been placed on hold. It may seem at times that things are out of control.

So, let’s pause for a moment. Close your eyes, relax the brow. Take a breath, expand the stomach. And, focus on the controllables:

1. Nightly sleep cycles

2. Daily nutrition plan – includes hydration and supplementation

3. Consistent exercise routine

4. Regular body care – stretching, rolling, adjustments, massage

5. Frequent mental relaxation – meditation, journaling

We have no control over the outside world. No control over what viruses are out there, new policies by policy makers, or, other people’s panicked behaviors.

But, simply, we do control our minds and our body. Be mindful of what and where you focus your energy. Has it, or is it, focused outward? Or, have you been able to focus inward?

Narrowing focus inward allows one to prioritize. Prioritize what is most important. Focusing clearly may reveal how vital health priority has always been, is, and always will be.

During these highly emotional and confusing times, life may seem cloudy. Let’s focus on controlling the controllables! You, and only you, have the power to control your mindset and your body.

Use this time wisely and move forward empowered towards a healthier life!

Here on Oahu traffic is unfortunately inevitable! Here are tips to consider to prevent or reduce back pain from your driving:

1. Empty back pocket - Mostly for men; remove wallet from back pocket to avoid tilting hips and straining lower back.

2. Posture in - Try to avoid bending from the spine when getting into your vehicle.

3. Adjust seat back angle - Set angle at a comfortable position where the ears, shoulders, and hips are in alignment.
