Take Care of Yourself

After an accident, the temptation to curl up and zone out for a while is understandable, but don’t let that first reaction become a habit. Try this instead:

  • Get some exercise.  If your physical condition allows it, sticking to your previous exercise routine is a good idea, but check with your physician first. It may be that getting outside for a walk and some fresh air is a good first step toward healing. Getting outside will help your emotional state as well.
  • Fuel your body.  It’s important not to neglect your body’s need for nutrition. Take care of yourself by enjoying regular, healthy meals and snacks.
  • Stick to your regular routine.  The routines of exercise and regular meals will help your body deal both physically and emotionally with the trauma of the accident, putting you on the path to healing.

Get Good Rest

Sleep is a gift. Our body uses it to heal both physically and emotionally. If you’re having trouble sleeping after an accident, a regularly scheduled bedtime along with a before-bed routine may help. Choose a designated time for bed. Prepare for it with a warm bath followed by comfortable pajamas and a healthy snack. Making your bed each morning means you’ll enjoy getting into it each night, so don’t neglect this simple, but powerful, gift to yourself.
