Coronavirus, our community, and you
here’s what we’d like you to know
Good morning, sunshines!
In response to your questions, we are taking a moment to share with you what we are doing at New Day in response to the spread of the coronavirus.
However, we do this not to gum up you inbox with YET ANOTHER list of do’s and don’ts, because you are most likely getting that information in most everything else you read and see at this time.
We offer our perspective because we take seriously our role in your life as doctors and a team within a community dedicated to health and energy richness. Thank you for opening this!
As part of this role, we have a responsibility to speak up and offer leadership in this situation.
We are critical of the overwhelming amount of content from the media and tone of that content that is fear-based and contributes needlessly to hysteria and havoc in the world and economy, as well as, at times, an experience of increasing atomization and polarization.
Here are a list of major points we consider relevant:
- We know that many of you are being negatively impacted by this in your travel plans, jobs, and events, and we are sorry for the stress this may be causing.
- We caution you to look critically at viewpoints that disproportionately have you AT THE EFFECT of your environment and those around you, rather than CAUSE in the matter of your health and your life. Your choices, habits, routines, words, and the energy you bring all DO make a difference.
- We do not believe that indiscriminate use of toxic chemicals and disposable products at this time (or ever) are part of a sustainable solution for our health and the health of the planet.
- We do not believe that increasing our physical isolation and atomization is part of a sustainable solution for our health and the health of the planet either.
- Dr. Virginia and I wash our hands and clean the adjusting tables periodically throughout the day
- It has not been our policy to sanitize the adjusting tables between every use, because we do not believe it is necessary.
- If you feel concerned for any reason at all, please pause before your adjustment and ask Dr. Virginia or I to wipe down the adjusting table before we work with you. We are ALWAYS happy to do this if you are concerned!
- We are grateful to live in a society and at a time in history where public health and sanitary procedures are prevalent.
- We are grateful that as a community we have been taking such good care of ourselves in this care and in our health and lifestyle generally because we know the results compound over time.
- Dr. Virginia and I will continue shaking hands with and hugging our practice members.
- Receiving chiropractic adjustments on a regular basis strengthens your immune system and is one of the best things you could possibly be doing for yourself and your family at this time
- In addition to practicing proper hygiene and getting care for your spine and nervous system, we hope that you are taking this opportunity to pay attention to doing things that are healthy for your immune system such as vitamin D, probiotics, exercise, good blood circulation and bemer, sunlight and fresh air, getting adequate sleep, and lots of water.
- We will remain a presence of calm and reassurance for you, and hope that you will consider showing up that way for those around you as well.
- Your good health and energy is contagious! And we mean that!
Plato said “The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” As always, please consider this as you make choices as to where to place your focus.
Keeping your spine and nervous system healthy is one way to strengthen your immune system and is one of the best things you can possibly be doing for yourself and your family.
Life is asking us to pay attention to our health and the health of our environment. We hope that you have found our perspective helpful, energizing, and empowering.
We appreciate your coming to us with questions and concerns, that you look to us for leadership, and that you consider us an important part of how you stay healthy. We look forward to seeing you at your adjustments this week <3
