CELEBRATING DEBBIE MYERS

Grand Strand’s Patient of the Month

While we typically try to find three words to describe what we appreciate about Grand Strand’s patient of the month, for Debbie Myers we could not settle on just three. Debbie has been visiting our office once a month for about a year after discovering our offices through one of our Facebook ads. She originally came in for help with pain in her knees but has since received laser and PEMF therapy for her shoulders as well. We’re glad she started coming in because now we look forward to seeing her warm shining smile every month. While Debbie’s presence at the office is enough to bring us joy for the day, she also loves bringing us gifts. She’s brought in trinkets on several occasions that the Native American children she sponsors made by hand. Along with being incredibly generous and thoughtful, she also has an infectious go-lucky outlook on life and is very health conscious. Whenever she has a question about her overall health, she doesn’t hesitate to get in touch with us. When Debbie isn’t in our office, you can probably find her out caring for her friends, family, and neighbors. She absolutely loves to bake, and to say she has a knack for it would be an understatement. She is a grandmother to some very lucky grandchildren — she spoils them with baked treats whenever she gets the opportunity. The Benefits of Minimalism A PERFECT LIFESTYLE FOR SENIORS As we get older, we tend to hang on to mementos that brought some type of meaning to our lives, even after time has diminished their value. Though we may be emotionally attached, this clutter can eventually overwhelm us, especially as seniors. If you find yourself drowning in items you no longer need or want, consider a minimalist lifestyle to free up your space — and your mind. MINIMALISM Before taking on a minimalist lifestyle, it’s important to understand what it entails. When someone hears the word “minimalism,” they might think it means getting rid of their possessions one by one, but that’s not entirely true. Instead, minimalist living focuses on having less clutter in our lives but still keeping the things we truly value and enjoy. The idea is to get rid of things we no longer use or need. MINIMALIST LIVING To embark on a minimalist lifestyle, focus more on the present and consider the value your personal belongings have in your life now . Sorting through hundreds of items with thousands of memories is a daunting task, so it is best to start by removing things that might not require emotional or physical strain, like old magazines, broken items, or clutter in the junk drawer. Once you’ve taken this first step, move on to something bigger. Soon,

Debbie doesn’t hesitate to share the ways Grand Strand Health and Wellness has changed her life with those around her. There’s a good chance that anyone who knows Debbie or has ever come in contact with her knows about her commitment to her holistic health. We’re incredibly thankful to have her as a part of the Grand Strand Health and Wellness family.

you’ll find yourself making steady and rewarding progress throughout the rest of your home.

In the process, pay attention to what you want to keep. Carefully select which objects mean the most to you and which ones are still useful. These are the belongings you should surround yourself with. THE BENEFIT OF MINIMALISM Minimalism will help you feel more comfortable in your home and open up other possibilities. You will have more room to invite guests and family over, and you’ll have a sense of space and freedom. Additionally, this lifestyle can also help with your finances. You’ll be less tempted to buy what you don’t need, and you may even rearrange spending priorities or downsize your living space (less rent!). If you surround yourself with meaningful and useful items, you will feel more at peace. Ultimately, minimalism encourages us to free ourselves from the many things that own us as much as we own them. Don’t allow accumulated objects to clutter up your home and life. Take the leap and start living a carefree, minimalist lifestyle.
