Work Euphoria: How to Love What You Do




Whether you own a business or simply work within a team, you need to read The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni. This is a phenomenal book!  Lencioni is a great storyteller and talks about the 3 major things people do to become successful in their job as well as how to become better coworkers. Even if you do not own a company; or have any opportunity for growth; or even plan to move on in the near future, you spend so much of your waking hours working that you may as well get the most value and enjoyment from it as possible to help make the lives of your coworkers and customers better! 

The 3 Pillars of Being a Great Teammate: 

1.      Humility- How coach-able are you? Are you willing to take on feedback to grow and train? How much time will you practice getting better at whatever it is you do?


2.      Hunger- How much drive do you have? Are you accountable for everything you do and create? By being accountable you can no longer be a victim. This means you are in control of how much value you bring to a company. People who have the hunger and desire to succeed are never the ones that get let go.

3.      Smarts or EQ (emotional quotient)- Research is showing this is far more important than IQ in how successful someone can be in life and in their job. Where IQ measures "book smarts," EQ measures our emotional ability to connect with our fellow human beings and our ability to handle our own moods and reactions to events that trigger us. 

**We will do some more blogs and posts about EQ because it is so vitally important for all of us if we want to live a happy and successful life!


If you have not read the book, do yourself a favor. If you have, please leave a comment below about what you loved the most!

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...

The combination of heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux together are one of the most common health issues in the world. This means they’re also one of the most commonly medicated groups of health issues.
