Time to Love Yourself!
De-Stress at the Spa
by Kimberly-Dawn Citro
During today's uncertain times, you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others either at home or work.
You need to slow down, STOP, pay attention and make a decision if you feel any of these symptoms:
Difficulty Sleeping - Poor Appetite - Migraines/Headaches - Constant Fatigue - Social Withdrawal - Blurred Vision - Dizziness - Forgetfulness - General Loss of Interest - Increased Heart Rate - Body Aches & Pains - Anxiety & Irritability - Bad Temper 
What's Causing Your Stress? Studies show that physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than sedentary people. Driving, computer work, etc., contribute to your stress, along with any of these factors:
• Financial and economic uncertainty (in other words living in America) • Emotional demands of friends and/or family • Working alone, long and/or irregular hours • Unfulfilling personal and/or professional relationships • Technology or information overload from emails, phones, texting, etc. • Lack of job satisfaction, job insecurity, organizational change
Caring For Yourself Part of taking care of yourself is getting the exercise needed to help your body get rid of stress toxins. Tough to do these days, but you can try some of the following to care for yourself:
1. Shut out the world by listening to soothing music, possibly while in a warm bubble-bath and aromatherapy candle. (all available at the Bellewood Spa)
2. Slow down your mind & body by reading, meditating/praying, or doing yoga.
3. Take breaks at work, sit back and deep breathe to relax, do the stretches we recommend or take a brisk walk during a break.
4. Make time to see and talk to family and friends and share happy experiences together.
5. Get regular body massage that stimulates your lymphatic and circulatory systems.
6. Detoxify and avoid junk food, chemicals, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine.
7. Begin a Wellness program - we can recommend a few great yoga studios, personal trainers and even dvd's!.
