Dear hand therapy clients,
These are some challenging times we are living in, for sure. Thank you so much for your patience in greeting us at the door, washing hands, answering our COVID screening , and having your temperature taken. These steps are meant to keep all of us safe, including you. These are essential self care moments, and the little things that can make a very big difference down the road. On the topic of self care, as you know, I am a great promoter of balancing our lifestyles so there's a good amount of self care, productivity, and leisure in all our lives. In times of stress and/or illness, we often lose our engagement in leisure, and sometimes our self care suffers as well. At this time, many of us are also facing loss of work, loss of routine, additional household chores, and a generally heightened sense of anxiety. This makes it all the more important that you balance your life to include extra self care time, and make sure you get to do something fun every day. That doesn't have to be complicated - it could be a walk, playing a game of cards with a family member, drawing a picture, or watching your favorite show at the end of the day. Whatever you decide to do, take a special moment to acknowledge it. Say to yourself, "...aaahhhhhh, this I do for me", or thank your family members for joining you in a board game, or whatever it is you choose for your leisure time. At the end of the day, we are all just striving to stay in balance. I hope this is a helpful reminder. Next time we'll talk about some apps that can help you with deep breathing and relaxation. Stay well!! Your hand therapist, Tracey~
