UKNOWN IMPACT

Thank you to Jessica, my amazing office manager for sharing this today.

The truth is you NEVER know how much of an impact you make on someone’s life.

Another truth: usually the little things make a much BIGGER impact than you think they will.

Don’t for a second, make the grave mistake of thinking that the little things you can do for others will not add up to a larger impact.

Your smile, your kind words, your compassion MATTER WAAAAAAAY more than you will ever measure.

Have fun making a positive impact today!

Happy Wednesday!

YOUR Race

This guy is probably very fast.

Odds are, I can’t match his speed on the ice.

This girl is probably very fast.

Odds are, I can’t match her speed on the mountain bike trail.

And odds are, the top guy probably can’t ice skate on a mountain bike trail as fast as she can ride, and she probably can’t ride as fast on the ice as this guy can skate.

The point is this:

THEY ARE GREAT AT THEIR RACES, BUT PROBABLY NOT AMAZING AT EACH OTHER’S.

You are the only person that is uniquely suited to running your race/your life.

And yet, you probably compare yourself to others all the time.

Today, focus on running YOUR race to the best of  YOUR ability, and forget about what anyone else is doing.

And when you do find yourself comparing, just picture a guy in roller-skates trying to take 1st place in the 200 meter backstroke in the pool… and realize that’s what you’re doing 😉

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

QUAREN-TOOLS

Hello everyone!

These are strange days indeed.

The Covid-19 epidemic is a scary one.

BUT WE CAN’T LET FEAR DRIVE OUR BUS.

Be cautious. Stay at home. Wash your hands. Eat well. Drink well. Think well. Maintain your health.

MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY!

It is ok to read up on the spread of the virus. Just don’t get caught up in it.

Make the most of the time you have at home with your families.

In some respects, you are gaining time to do things that you’ve always wanted to do, but have never had time for.

Jon Gordon (a tremendous motivational speaker/author) wrote The Energy Bus when during a personal crisis his world “slowed down” and he was able to write the book in 3.5 weeks. Since then the book has sold an unimaginable amount of copies, and launched a world-wide speaking and writing career for him.

By all means, social distance, but that opens to door to form better, stronger connections with our loved ones  we are close to.

Write letters to people that have influenced and inspired you in your lifetime.

Thank your parents.

Video call the grandparents.

Send thank you cards to veterans that have helped solidify our freedoms.

Write a book.

Write some poetry.

Sing songs. Even if it’s just in the shower.

Download audiomixing software and become your own DJ.

TikTok?

Dust off those old board games and play as a family.

Meditate.

Exercise.

Figure out what you do so well that others will want to see/read/hear how you do it and spread that around. Teach others via social media/email/video.

Re-organize your living space. Feng some serious Shui in your domicile!

Paint, color, draw…

Don’t let this time stifle your growth, instead allow it to be a vector to it’s spread!

And for goodness sakes, stop hoarding all the T.P!. 🙂

I love you all.

This too shall pass.

You build your own walls

IMG_2561.JPG

Many times, we are responsible for the limits we have in life, because in fact… we put them there.

Our self-doubt, our desire to stay within our comfort zone (not expand our horizons), our routines, our beliefs… all of these are bricks in the walls we build to stay right where we are.

Take some time to notice the bricks you build, and then get to work knocking them down!

Happy Monday!

-Dr. Lindeman

Thank you for sharing this at our morning meeting, Jessica!

Think of your ideal self, what would they think/say/do?

I actually wrote about this in my book (coincidence :)?

When we are faced with a decision (especially a tough one), it is great practice to try to think like our ideal selves.

Stand in that place, of who you truly want to be and make decisions from that perspective.

It is powerful!

Have a terrific Tuesday my friends!

“Results… Line please?”

screenwriting.jpg“Results speak for themselves.” 

How many times have you heard that?

It is uttered a lot, because it is very true.

However, it is only part of the story.

While it is true that the after picture is powerful when compared to the before.

The book is amazing when it is finished.

The recommendations due to the results people have achieved help drive others into our Chiropractic practice.

BUT….

The “whys” and the “hows” behind those results matter more.

The drive to improve, the will to win, the process to do both, those are the writers, the providers that give voice to the results.

When you want to lose weight, the why is what feeds the results.

When you want to write a book, the why is what puts pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).

When you want to travel the world, the why is what purchases the first plane ticket.

The purpose that leads to the results are the screenwriters. The results just recite the lines.

 

Happy screen-writing my friends!

-Dr. Lindeman

Actions speak louder… and results SCREAM

Vision is necessary for a brighter future.

Action is PARAMOUNT!

When you combine the two, the results are magnificent!
