Your Investigation ‘Hat’

By Tips & Guides, Your Practice

Investigation is a natural state for chiropractors. Our work tests our curiosity and inquisitiveness about the world and invokes an intense wonder about the functioning of natural processes. Chiropractors are willing to think outside the box –  to go against conventional thought and group think. Chiropractic is a disruptive movement that questions everything. It’s not a vocation, it’s a lifestyle that sees the world in unique ways. Not willing to suffer the status quo, chiropractors have a preference for the…

The Chiropractic Dance of Discovery

By Inspiration, Your Practice

The journey of life is the journey of discovery. Take a minute to observe a child being a child in their natural state. Their absorbent mind is filled with curiosity for its environment and everything in it from a scratch on his skin to a fly on the wall to the movement of a pea on her dinner plate. There is a constant source of wonder, fascination and discovery. They notice, they explore, they test and then move on when…

Do You Believe Everything You Tell Yourself?

By Inspiration, Tips & Guides

What you believe affects your perception, your biology, your results and even matter itself. Belief creates your personal reality. This is a unique worldview where often what is true is only true for you and yet often you can fall into the trap of assuming that it is true for others also. I think of beliefs as bar codes – just like those parallel lines on a supermarket package which identify the product within. If you change one of the…

Behind Roles Lie Responsibilities

By Inspiration, Quest

In accordance with your philosophy and your critical reasoning process you will reach a point in your journey when you are confronted with the question of “how do I apply my philosophy to this situation”? This brings up the question around what are your roles and responsibilities? Whilst a role is a process for doing something, for example, adjusting, it has little impact or effectiveness on your results unless it is firmly tied to and congruent with your philosophy. A…

Beyond Reason

By Inspiration

Within the Quadrant 2 part of your brain you will experience much pullback on your fantastic ideas, possibilities, opportunities and developments. The drive of the Quadrant 2 part is to keep you safe. To stop you from getting into danger. To stop you from jumping in over your depth. Often fear and protection, however is disguised as reason and critical thinking and this is where you can sabotage yourself and your practice in a big way. You have a huge…

Philosophy Has Wings

By Inspiration

Every person on this planet has a philosophy. The philosophy that one has relates to and includes everything in their comprehension. A philosophy is a way of thinking about something. Regardless of how strongly one denies the illusion that they are not philosophically driven they do have a philosophy (and in fact, that is their philosophy). A philosophy is not some hallucination or dream. It is a logical process driven by the interaction between the Quadrant 1 & 2 parts…

Purpose

By Inspiration, Your Practice

The success of a year, like the success of any relationship, journey, business, practice or any other endeavour is best identified by the question; “For what purpose?”. When you are on a journey it is made meaningful, impact and successful to the degree that it sits with and honours your purpose. Purpose is a product of your Quadrant 1 activity as defined in thein8model® and this month we want to support and challenge you to explore the reason why you…

TOMORROW

By Inspiration, Tips & Guides

As a chiropractor, I am sure that you are feeling two urges with every person you adjust. I bet that you will have a deep desire to really help the person. This ‘help’ may be to relieve pain, sickness, suffering, dysfunction, a current challenge or make the most of an opportunity. You also may have a yearning for the person to understand the chiropractic viewpoint and get a bigger vision of life and health just as you do. I also…

KISS – Keep Improving Simple Systems

By Chiropractic Journey, Inspiration

True to the KISS principle it is pretty clear  – Your practice and everything in it is either growing or it is dying – there is no standing still. You can’t hold it where it was last week, last month or last year let alone 10 years ago. In fact, if you are not growing you are going backwards. If you are not continually working on your practice, revising systems, training your team, improving delivery, mastering communication, educating your people…

Why Change?

By Inspiration, Support

When we consider the dictionary definition of transformation we find words like – change in form, appearance, nature or character. The operative word here is change. Transformation is the process of change across form – or from one form to another. What you experienced yesterday is gone because the world changes every day. People change. Weather changes. Relationships change. Prices change. Emotions change. Circumstances change. Practices change. Everything changes. Everything is changing, is in motion and transforms every second. And…

Would you believe it?

By Inspiration, Support

Isn’t it interesting how some people respond to your care readily and yet others with seemingly similar ‘problems’ and severity are resistant to improvement? It seems like the architecture and mechanics of the human body is pretty consistent across most of humankind. Science has consensus (for the most part) around anatomy, osteology, physiology, neurology and so on. Obviously, there are subtle variations in all of these from individual to individual and as a result, we find that every person in…

Let Go and Let Your Practice Transform

By Inspiration, Tips & Guides

Right now the future of our world is being created by students in schools, colleges and universities as they grow their brains, their perspective and their possibilites. Ponder for a minute, how would our future be, if this year they will be studying from the same texts, reading the same books, discussing the same issues and sitting the same exams as they did last year. Would their lives be enhanced, by doing another year of the same stuff? Would their…
