At Care More Chiropractic in Roswell, GA, we see how quickly busy school schedules can affect the way families feel and function. Eat the Frog It was sitting on my to-do list. For months. Not weeks. Months. Every time I looked at it, I felt that little twinge of dread, that "ugh, I'll do it tomorrow" feeling. It lived rent-free in my brain, whispering that I was behind, behind, behind. And last week? I finally did it. It took less than five minutes. Less. Than. Five. Minutes. I literally sat there after I finished thinking: How many months did I carry that weight for a five-minute task? How much mental energy had I spent avoiding it instead of just doing it?

  As the dawn of a new year arrives, many of us embark on a quest for personal growth, setting resolutions and intentions that promise a brighter and more fulfilling future. In the tapestry of my aspirations for 2024, one word emerged as the guiding star of my journey: "Habits." In this blog post, I unravel the reasons behind choosing habits as my overarching theme for the year and explore the profound impact it can have on my life. The Power of Consistency: Habits, by their very nature, are a testament to the power of consistency. I've come to realize that the small, seemingly inconsequential actions we repeat daily are the building blocks of the life we lead. Whether it's the discipline of a morning routine, the commitment to regular exercise, or the dedication to lifelong learning, habits are the architects of lasting change. Self-Reflection and Intentionality: Picking habits as my theme for 2024 signifies a commitment to self-reflection and intentionality. It'...

Bone broth is a food that I love to recommend and its a topic that has become more mainstream in recent years.   Today I’m going to share with you why I love making, eating, and recommending bone broth.   My name is Dr Kristen Welsh.   I am a Chiropractor, I am a mom to 2 young children, and I've spent a considerable amount of time healing my gut.   About a decade ago, while I was struggling with gut issues, I discovered (thanks too many great resources, blogs, and colleagues) Bone Broth.   So what exactly is Bone Broth?   It is simply the liquid produced by boiling bones in water.   Virtually any type of bones can be used—I’ve used everything from left over bones from a whole chicken or turkey to beef bones purchased expressly for making broth.   Personally—if we eat food with bones (whole chickens, turkey, bone in steaks & roasts) I will freeze the bones until I’m ready to use them.   Bone broth is different from stock or broth in that ...

Face Masks are becoming a new normal.  More and more people are choosing (or have to) wear them and many stores are requiring customers wear them.   I am also seeing people touch their face masks, trying to pull it down out of their eyes.   If you keep touching your face mask, then anything on your fingertips will be transferred to the mask.   Here is a quick tip to keep your mask out of your eyes so you don't need to touch it!  In health,  Dr. Kristen 

We have set our goals, now what?   What can we do to make sure we are successful?   It’s been my experience that there is one thing that can make or break our goals:   Mindset.   When I think of mindset and goals, the first thing that comes to mind is the quote, “wether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re probably right.”  Mindset, belief, faith—call it what you will but it is, what I like to call, the missing magic in goal setting,   There are also little things that we can do and say that have a huge impact on mindset.  First is the power of our words.  As Yoda says, “Do or do not, there is no try.”  Think about it, when you make a commitment to someone which is the one you’re actually going to do, the one when you say, “I will try and be there”. Or “I will be there.”  The second of course!  When we say try, we are building in an excuse for failure, for not making it happen.  This parlays beautiful...
