ATOM Center

Hooray for pumpkins and spice! The holiday season is fast approaching, and we here at the ATOM Center love to share our appreciation of this time with our community. Decorations and jovial spirits can make such a positive impact on our own selves as well as those around us. After all;

A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
Proverbs 17:22

Let us enter the upcoming seasons with merry hearts and lift one another up! We appreciate you all and thank you for continuing to trust us with your healthcare needs. God bless!

Happy Saturday!

Saturdays are a great time to take a moment for one's self care. We hear this phrase a lot.. but how many of us actually practice it? Between busy work and family schedules, it can seem impossible to take a half hour let alone a full hour to unwind and take care of yourself.

We all need breaks, for mental and physical health. Take a moment today to read that book you've been meaning to pick back up. Spend a little time delving into a hobby you've set aside, do a bit of skincare or simply watch the rain fall while sipping a hot drink and be peaceful. Disconnect from social media and take a deep breath, indulge yourself in a little something just for you.

Saturdays we want to focus on taking that time, ensure sure you have a block of time set aside even if it's right before bed. A great form of self care is promoting quality sleep. Deep breathing exercises can be a great way to get peaceful before bed, enhancing your ability to fall asleep more quickly and soundly. Many of us suffer from racing thoughts before bed, this may help shut those down! Linked is a video on breathing exercises with some excellent tools, try them out any time during the day but they may be especially effective just before bed.
