Headsets For Comfort – Part 2 – Increase Comfort, Energy, Time, Productivity and Bottom Line

Using a headset brings back the natural curvature of the neck and increased comfort will most often be immediate. There are some additional things to pay attention to.

Be Aware
Continue to be aware of how you feel and take care of yourself appropriately to increase your comfort even more. If you are tired, then rest. If something hurts, stop immediately and investigate the pain source.

Get Some Bodywork Done
A bodyworker may help relax the muscles of the neck that have been sore. There are many modalities: massage, chiropractic, and physical therapy.

Seek out specialized practitioners to ease chronic pain. Some natural approaches are Hellerwork and Rolfing which have been known to help many people release the tension from their body and increase range of motion.

Visit with your doctor or holistic practitioner and make decisions based upon their advice and what feels right for you and your beliefs about healing.

Eat, Drink and Be Healthy
The tissues and cells of your neck and the rest of your body require hydration and proper nutrition to heal and maintain proper balance and function. Even the microscopic particles of food you eat travel to your neck, so make sure you eat wholesome foods and drink plenty of water for your weight!

Eat balanced meals always and organic foods when possible as well as raw fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and happy fats (raw nuts and seeds, avocados and olive oil). Avoid animal fats and trans fats (the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils).

Take digestive enzymes when you eat cooked food to increase the digestion of the nutrients in your food. Take acidophilus to increase the good bacteria in your gut…especially if you have been taking antibiotics. This helps with digestion also. Antibiotics kill the good bacteria as well as the bad.

Drink water throughout the day to give it time to be absorbed and flush your body of toxins. An easy way to accomplish this is to fill your glass every hour!

If you are exercising (especially outside in the heat) you will probably want to drink extra water before you begin or take some with you depending on how long you will out.

Go Out To Lunch
How often do you eat your lunch at your desk especially when you have skipped breakfast? You are not saving time and are creating stress instead.

When you are eating while working, digestion slows. Taking bites between typing is like “eating your stress”.

When you are relaxed during meals breathing is fuller, digestion is easier and you have more energy. Spending time with friends adds more joy to your day and you are probably breathing deeper because you are having fun. That is even better!
