What's in a name?
I’ve been asked quite a bit recently about how I came up with the name Sunrise Chiropractic and Wellness, and the simple answer is, it came to me while I was on a long run at Kennesaw Mountain…..but of course there’s more to it than that.
When you think of a sunrise, what comes to mind? Is it the colors in the sky? Does it remind you of vacations where you take a moment to appreciate life a little bit more? Or is it the excitement of a new day and new possibilities?
As a wife, a mom, and a business owner – I wear many hats. Some hats are bigger and more flamboyant than others, sometimes I wear all the hats at the same time, but all of these hats are special to me. I love getting my boys (8 and 5 years old) up and ready for school in the morning. Call me crazy, but it’s these little moments that I know I won’t have forever – these little snippets of time in their lives when I get to see them everyday and watch them grow into themselves that I cherish. Before we head out the door, we go through our checklist: bookbag, lunch, water bottle, folder, homework, shoes, socks….. 😊 And as we walk to the bus stop, we talk about all the good things to come that day. Do they have music or PE? Is it fun Friday? Do they get to go the library? Now yes, this is all simple and basic, but I like to think that we are also implementing some fundamental life skills as well. How do you talk to yourself in the morning? Is it excited and expectant of good things to come?
Now for a brief period of time when it’s still light out when we walk to the bus stop, there is typically a glorious scene awaiting us…..a beautiful sunrise. It literally lasts long enough for us to walk to the bus, and then as quickly as we noticed it, it’s gone. However, its impression lasts. I like to think too that these walks to the bus stop are also lasting with my boys. And I too have a morning ritual, which of course doesn’t start until I have some coffee! I sit and read my devotionals (I have multiple), and I write in my gratitude journal. When in doubt, gratitude it out 😊
To me, Sunrise Chiropractic and Wellness means that each day is a new opportunity to start living your healthiest life yet. It means that as certain as the sunrise, the dawn of each new day is a fresh start towards living your best life. It’s the hope and promise of a new day with yes, some potential obstacles, but the ability to make adjustments and grow into your best self. It means setting the tone for your day and for your life with a bit of positivity! My goal is to provide the best chiropractic care I can to my patients and to support them, their children, and their family in their wellness journey.
When you come in this month for your adjustment, be sure to share how you set your intentions for the day.
