It’s Always Nice to Get Away

This past weekend being a three day holiday here in the US, not to mention also my birthday, we took advantage and took a little road trip down to Lexington, Ky. With everything that life throws at us on a day by day basis, it was very nice to get away and do something different for a few days. Instead of focusing on work, and other things we “have” to do each day, it was quite a refreshing break to simply spend a few days exploring, taking photos, and just enjoying each other’s company.

I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy today every once in awhile. It really helps to put life in perspective, and allows you to come back to the every day stuff with a renewed energy and healthy attitude!

On the one hand, though, the parallels are interesting, but on the other, the perceptions are totally different. It shouldn’t be that way. First, the similarities: Physical therapy takes time. You don’t go in and get “fixed”. In…

  • Thoughts on Self-Care

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Spend some time reading or researching information on mental health online. Eventually, you will come across articles about practicing self-care or even self-love, though I’m not a big fan of the latter because, let’s face it, we’re all 12-year-olds sometimes. Nevertheless, self-care is usually, not always, paired with something about mindfulness, meditation, or pampering yourself…
