Mid summer can be challenging in some areas, with the heat turned up and the willingness turned down, so you need to guard against summer head. If you feel your pace slowing, snap out of it! Your community needs you, and they will respond to your message if you put it out there.

Many parents are beginning to prepare for school next month, so initiate your scoliosis screening and back-to-school check-up programs now, so they are in full swing in August and September. Also, summer is a great time for outdoor events – consider an evening picnic, where your patients bring their friends for some food and entertainment, and a brief talk by you, a delightful way to spend a summer night for all concerned.

Avoid the doldrums by reconnecting with your purpose – you never know when someone is ready to make the leap in consciousness to embrace chiropractic, so be prepared physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
