Resilience Is Good For Your Health

One of the reasons why I like New York City so much (almost as much as Paris) is the resilience of its inhabitants.  During the same week, we've had an earthquake and a hurricane.  Yesterday, after the bulk of the storm had passed over the Lower Manhattan area where I reside, my companion and I went for a walk down to the Battery and along the waterfront in Battery Park City.  There wasn't a tree that had fallen, the squirrels were back out digging for some nuts, and both residents and tourists were out and about their business as usual.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Resilience and a good sense of humor is good for your health.  The ability to 'come back' after an operation, broken limb or illness and do it with a good sense of humor and spirit makes the difference between total healing or not.  Acupuncture can help not only with the physical component of healing, but also the mental aspect of the process.  If you've had difficulty dealing with the stress of the past week, why not come in for a relaxing session?  Your blood pressure and blood sugar will stabilize, you'll have peace of spirit and more energy to get on with the day's tasks at hand.  And remember....nobody likes nor wants to help a sourpuss, so put a smile on your face; it's not only good for your facial muscles but people will respond to you with more empathy and lightheartedness.
