…Love wins…

“Because at the end of the day, love wins.” (Taken from Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb).

If you’ve had any bad days lately (pretty sure most of us have), the key to not carrying it over to the next day is to realize that one day doesn’t create a month or year or etc.

The key is to resize that after the 24 hours, that day is done.

Over-with.

Kaput.

The sun comes up again in the morning ($100 you are hearing Annie’s voice in your head now, bet your bottom dollar) and you get another chance at another day.

One way to push toward a better mañana is to end the day with love.

Stop and breathe. Be grateful that you had a day (even if it was “a day”), and find something to love about the day. Even if it is something incredibly small.

Then, take some time to tell someone you love them.

Finally, take some time to tell yourself that you are loved.

End the day with love, because the truth is LOVE AWAYS WINS.

Happy Tuesday!

Time and Patience

“Speed is about time, but it’s also closely related to endurance and effort. The faster the speed, the thinking goes, the less endurance or effort required. Patience, on the other hand, requires endurance and effort.”- Taken from Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, by Lori Gottlieb

Later, in the same book (about a page later), she quotes the psychoanalyst Erich Fromm: “Modern man thinks he loses something-time- when he does not do things quickly; yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains except kill it.”

Our world is filled with a lot of hurry, hurry, now, now.

We want results/things/growth/success/our haircut/our food/our dose of dopamine (social media, I’m looking at you)/our purchases/our everything as soon as we give even the thoughts our energy.

Patience is not modern human’s virtue.

The conundrum is that the time spent waiting, the time spent in patience, the time spent just BE-ing bears more fruit for the soul than the actual “getting.”

Spend some time in a cam state today. Revel in the patience, it will bring much better dividends than the pressure-filled moments do.

Happy Thursday!

So Grateful!

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”-Giblert C Chesterton.

I am so thankful for my life and for all those that make it possible. Below is a copy of what I posted in my other blog this morning, but it bears repeating. I am grateful!

Last week I was out of the office as I took my family and my mom and dad on a trip to Scotland!

10 years ago, when I was trying to open my office, I couldn’t secure a business Lon even though I had 5 years experience at a different chiropractic office and had some money in the bank.

My parents had confidence in me and they loaned me the money.

I will be forever grateful.

They had never been to a Chiropractor before. They grew up very medically oriented so chiropractic at that time was not on their radar.

I also had put them through a fair share of teenage tribulations when I was younger…

Nevertheless, they trusted me.

In those 10 years, I have been beyond blessed to be a part of so many lives.

Lindeman Chiropractic is thriving, and I am so grateful.

I paid off the loan last year and with that final payment, I told my parents I wanted to take them to Scotland to golf, to explore and to enjoy each other’s company.

It was a wonderful trip, we connected, we oohed and ahhed at castles, lochs and waterfalls. It was amazing and I am so grateful!

Thank you to all of the wonderful patients I have had the honor of helping these past 10 years. You have helped me do what I love to do. You give me so much joy everyday. I get to hold and adjust your babies, children, spouses and parents. I get to witness miracles. Every. Single. Day. My family is able to experience amazing places and we are stable financially.

I am so grateful!

Thank you!
