Why should you read this first?
Because “WHY” is the most important question you need to ask yourself in order for any of this to be truly effective.
Without “WHY” people lose interest quickly and are disappointed.
My “WHY” for this section is that I need patients to do everything they can on their own to support my treatment and therefore get the best results.
What is your “WHY”
Maybe it’s “I don’t want to be in pain.
WHY? Here are samples of what I have heard:
“Because it interferes with my job (I can’t afford to lose my job), my family (I need to support my family physically and emotionally and want to enjoy them), my sleep (a good night’s sleep is CRITICAL to your health), my activities/sports/hobbies (I need to be able to….)
See? Now we’re getting there!
My “WHY”
Because I am getting older (I didn’t say old!) I am finding that, as I like to say, I can’t get away with breaking the “rules,” like exercise, stretching, eating healthy, sleeping well, managing stress, and, of course, regular Chiropractic care.
If I break the rules, there are consequences. I will wake up in the middle of the night with back pain, or at least wake up stiff and sore.
Ok, so “WHY” do I want to be healthy?
- I want be able to adjust patients for a very long time.
- I like to run and play sports. Pain prevents me.
- Pain puts me in a grumpy mood!
- I’m trying to avoid medication and doctors, with the exception, of course, of my chiropractor, with whom I have a standing Tuesday night appointment.
