Who are you? How would you describe yourself? Are you kind? Loyal? Well educated? Assertive? Do you see yourself as honest? Would you say you have a sense of humor? Are you purposeful? Would you call yourself focused? Are you a skilled communicator? Are you clean? Coachable? High energy person? Success orientated? What words or images come to mind as you define who you are?
I use words like these to begin to bring an increase the knowing, the recognition, of all the angles of who we are, who we show up as, and who we intend to be. I suggest that they must align with who we are DESIGNED to be if we're going to have an authentic experience in chiropractic. If we aren't in a space that recognizes who and where we are, much less loves and accepts ourselves in this space, how will we connect to another?
For me, the most powerful moments in practice have been the "real" moments, the times when my Spirit, my Innate connects authentically with another's. In those moments, there is growth. In those moments, the knowing of who I am, what I do, and why I do it increases. I believe the same holds true for the person on the other end of the connect. Often (not always now), the intention in a chiropractic office is to increase the expression of life by removing the interference, adjust the subluxation. Would you agree that the expansion of one's knowing more of who they are, who they are created to express, experience and be, is part of our work? It certainly is part of mine. I don't mean the knowing that comes through a lecture, a book, a pamphlet, a letter, a script...we'll get to those...for know, I'm simply referring to the knowing that is IN us. A recognition of that increase in the expression of Life.
A worksheet that starts the description of "you" for the work to be done in your office will be added here in the book.
A stopping place for today, to let the question above mingle with your thoughts...who are you and how do you describe yourself?

"I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, there's something that is within you, there's power within you, that's greater than the world. It will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you. It will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you let it. Now, that is what I know for sure." - unknown
