It may seem daunting when your New Years Resolutions list is as long as there are days in the month. Shaking off the post-holiday slump and thinking about the challenge of keeping your New Years Resolutions only adds to your anxiety. Don’t let these negative feelings get you down. The New Year is meant to be a time to reflect on the past year’s behavior and one where you can make positive lifestyle changes.

If you’ve decided to make weight loss a goal in 2019 and you follow our blog, you already know that chiropractic can help. Here are our tips to help you keep your resolutions throughout the year and achieve your weight loss goals.

Start small 

The best way to keep your resolutions for the long term is to make ones that you can maintain. If you have a goal of exercising more, start with working out three or four days a week instead of every single day. If you want to eat healthier, try replacing your evening bowl of ice cream with a healthier alternative like Halo Top or swap it with fresh fruit and yogurt. Your diet should be something you enjoy, not a form of punishment and you will be more likely to make healthy choices if you can eat foods you like!

Make changes over time, not all at once

Your unhealthy habits didn’t just happen all at once, and you won’t likely be able to undo them all at once. Integrating healthy habits into your life takes time. Don’t get overwhelmed and think you have to make changes to every aspect of your life all in one go. Take the time you need to make positive changes in your life.

Talk about it 

A great way to hold yourself accountable is to share your experiences with friends and family. You can even find support groups to help you reach your goals, like a fun workout class or a group of coworkers who bring healthy lunches every day. Having someone to share both your struggles and your successes will make your weight loss journey more enjoyable and less intimidating.

Don’t be too hard on yourself 

Perfection is impossible. Remember that minor mistakes are completely okay (and normal). Don’t give up completely because you broke your diet and ate a brownie or you skipped the gym for a week because you were on vacation. Everyone has their ups and downs, and that is all part of the process. What’s important is how you recover from your mistakes and get back on track.

Ask for help

Accepting help from those around you will strengthen your ability to manage stress and your resilience in your new life changes. If you feel overwhelmed or that you can’t meet your goals on your own, consider seeking professional help. Our team is dedicated to helping you reach the best health possible, so don’t hesitate to contact us so we can provide you with the support you’re looking for!

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

- Cindy Chaisson

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

–Vermillion Himes

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
