We are a family based centre that has been serving an extraordinary chiropractic experience since 1999.
Whether you are looking for a natural solution to headaches or low back pain or if you are interested in improving your family's health and wellness, you're in the right place.
Last summer I asked our eldest son Max, two weeks before he turned 7 years old, "what would you still like to accomplish as a 6 year old?" He put some thought into it, and responded..."I'd like to learn to ride a bike." We were very excited for him with this goal, as we'd been encouraging him to learn to ride for many months, and had stopped and left it up to him because he hadn't seem interested.
That day, he asked us to take the training wheels off his bike. The next day, he asked us to help him ride around the park. Every day, for three days he asked us to help him ride. On the first day, he could ride to the corner on his own. On the second day, he could ride half way around the park. And on the third day, he rode around the block, with me trailing behind, running to try to keep up with him.
This is a good example of goal setting. Max chose a clear goal. He set a time line. He had us hold him accountable. He used discipline and determination. And he set a reward for himself - the ability to ride a bike!
Goal setting and follow through can be very difficult sometimes. Especially when we don't feel motivated, or we feel like every time we attempt it, it turns into failure. And then earlier failures can have the effect of us feeling stress when we set goals. However, goals are very important in our lives, and just as we saw with Max, there is great empowerment that comes from setting and achiveing goals.
Healthy goal setting requires a number of steps, including the following:
1. Choosing clear goals
2. Setting a timeline
3. Choose an accountability partner
4. Set a reward or leverage
5. Follow through
