With These Toddler-Inspired Tips Keep Your Team and Patients Motivated
A few weeks ago, Marah and
2022 SEPT
I took Bennett to the Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh. It’s one of his all-
time favorite places because there is so much to do! He spent the day toddling back and forth as fast as he could, stopping in at the tool section filled with tiny hammers and screwdrivers, the miniature “bank” with a real teller window, and the “farm” stocked with animals. His eyes really lit up at one of the high-tech exhibits where he colored in a picture of a car, wrote his name on it, and scanned it into a machine. As soon as the machine swallowed the paper, the car appeared on two massive, 15-foot- tall screens! You should have seen the way Bennett’s jaw dropped when he saw “his” car driving around in front of him. It was fascinating for me to watch Bennett play and see the way his brain processes things. He’s a smart little guy. On the “farm,” he found scoops that looked exactly like the dog food scoops we have at home. Right away, he made the connection. He started using the scoop to feed the cows, pigs, and horses! I was amazed how quickly he picked that up. I was also struck by just how resilient kids are. So many people fall in life and never get back up, but tiny humans like Bennett are constantly falling, and 99% of the time they bounce back with just as much enthusiasm as they had before. Watching dozens of toddlers scramble around the museum like tiny pinballs, I kept asking myself, “How can adults tap into that kind of motivation?”
I picked up a couple of tips from the toddlers that I’ve been using to encourage my staff, and you can try them, too! If it feels hard to keep your team excited about their work or your patients invested in their recoveries, give these ideas a go. 1. TAKE MOVEMENT BREAKS. Ask your team to take breaks and move their bodies every 30–45 minutes during the work day. They can do a couple of jumping jacks, stretch, or go for a walk — whatever feels good. Moving helps our brains refocus and boosts our mood. 2. KICK MULTITASKING TO THE CURB. Studies have proven that multitasking doesn’t really work. When you try to do two things at once, you end up doing them both poorly and getting stressed out in the process! With this in mind, ask your patients and team to give whatever they’re working on 100% of their focus. They’ll do a better job, get better results, and gain the confidence to keep going. 3. CELEBRATE SMALL WINS. You know how excited a toddler gets when you high-five them after they complete a task? Bring that same energy into your office. Every employee success and patient milestone deserves to be celebrated. The more you cheer someone on today, the more excited they’ll be to put in the effort tomorrow. 4. TAKE TIME TO LISTEN. We all want to be heard, and if you take time to listen, you’ll learn a lot about your team and patients. Maybe there’s something holding them back that you’d never have noticed. Once you spot those barriers, you can remove them and move forward. 5. INJECT FUN INTO WORK. This can be as simple as sharing a daily pun or coming up with a silly office mascot. At Chiro1Source, we do a little activity during our morning meeting. Every day, someone picks a famous quote and we all have to guess who said it! We inevitably end up laughing, and the mental exercise gets our brains going.
If you try one of these kid-inspired strategies, let me know how it goes. They definitely work in our office!
Though we may not always think about it, balance is essential to just about everything we do in our daily routines. From simply getting out of bed, leaning over to tie our shoes, or even walking to the mailbox, we need good balance to keep ourselves steady while performing normal tasks. KNOW WHY BALANCE IS IMPORTANT. Balance is the ability to control your body’s position, whether stationary or moving. It is a key component of fitness that many people neglect while developing their fitness regimen. Balance training is a great way to help your body recognize where it is and control movements in a given space. When the body knows where its limbs are in space — known as proprioception — it is able to produce smooth, controlled movements with fewer risks of injuries.

“I sent one of my chiropractor friends to your website, and they loved your products!” –An Awesome Chiro1Source Customer
That’s one of the best sentences our team can hear. If you’ve sent a

Reaction time and agility are also improved with balance training. The body learns how to quickly correct itself but not overcompensate and has the ability to quickly change direction effectively and efficiently. Though balance training is important for everyone, it is especially important for those who have problems due to illness, weakness, or dizziness. It allows them to overcome stiffness or unsteadiness and to develop an awareness of body segments and how to align them.

A social media presence is essential to connecting with your company’s customers and prospects. But do you need every media platform to engage with others? Each outlet meets different needs and interests, so it’s crucial that you analyze which one will net the most engagement for your business. In fact, the demographic of your targeted audience will help you decide. Let’s look at the three main outlets customers use to discuss their needs and wants. FACEBOOK is primarily used for family-friendly content. Recently, there is an added focus on business ads for networking purposes, which can help you attract more leads. The demographic on Facebook mainly focuses on individuals who are 45 years old and older. This platform is great for businesses targeting seniors, like those in the home improvement and estate planning industries. INSTAGRAM was popularized by teenagers, but now over half of its users are between the ages of 25–34. Small businesses use this outlet to share upcoming events, sales, and products because of the new business feature on the app. Relationship-building is the sole focus SO MANY SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS Which One Should You Use?
for companies on Instagram because you can engage with customers through stories, live videos, and interactive polls.
TWITTER is the best place to have personal conversations, brainstorm, and share news. Over 59% of Twitter users are between the ages of 25–49, and 56% have completed some college courses or have a degree. Some businesses use Twitter to see what others are saying about their services and resolve any issues that occur. This is a great way to build trust with your customers and ensure that they know you care about their experience with you and your company.
