Shots Don’t Have to Suck Anymore

Not gonna lie, I used to freak out about getting shots. Like, sweaty palms and all. But I’ve picked up a few tricks that actually make it way less stressful. 🔸 Ask your doc about numbing creams ahead of time. They take a bit of planning, but they really help take the sting out. 🔸 Bring something to distract yourself—your phone, a book, or even a stress ball. Keeping your mind busy is half the battle. 🔸 Try to keep your arm relaxed and focus on slow, deep breaths. Tensing up just makes it worse. 🔸 And honestly, just look away when the needle comes out. It’s over before you even realize. I’ve used these with my kids too, and a little distraction (plus a treat after) makes a huge difference. Shots aren’t fun, but they don’t have to be a nightmare! #HealthTips #NeedleHacks #KeepItSimple #Health #Fitness
