“Winter Wellness” begins with deciding what you really Want to do and holding off of the things that you “want” to do. The holidays, especially this year, are a particularly difficult time when it comes to these activity decisions.
In order to avoid chronic overuse activities, some helpful questions to consider this holiday season may include:
•Do I want to risk creating pain and exhaustion or do I Want to put my relationships with
family first and preserve my energy by asking for help?
•Do I need to climb that ladder to put up decorations despite the obvious risk?
•Do I have to bake 12 dozen cookies or do I Want to avoid overdoing it and dial it back a bit
and ask for help?
•Leading by example in a year of quarantine, do I Want to be a better example to my kids and
grandkids by purchasing or even making one special gift.
All these questions center around individual values, desires, and goals. It is my hope, especially during this 2020 holiday season, and the cold winter months to come, that we can all focus on our real Wants and be less driven by passing desires/wants, “have to”, “need to”, and a “should” mentality.
Warm wishes for a save, happy and healthy holiday season. Dr. William DeMayo

A Message from Dr. DeMayo: In general, access for individuals with disabilities is very difficult here in the UAE. Even so, I saw this and I thought very determined Polio Survivors might enjoy it. |
