What I learned this week….

I’m amazed how every time I watch certain movies I learn or see something that I didn’t in previous viewings.  Life, Chiropractic and Innate are the same way.  So I offer you these two stories….

 

After rearranging my office, part of the plan is to post a flat panel TV on the T-bar.  Innate told me what size and brand to buy the moment I thought the idea.  But my educated brain said “no, go investigate.”  Talk to sales reps and other docs who have done that.  I asked colleagues what brands and sizes and types they all have. 

 

I talked to sales reps whose only idea in their mind is to up sell as large as possible.  Even after I told them the space I have the reps said no, you can go right up to a 50+ inch TV with all the bells and whistles. 

 

I looked online at prices and read articles about LCD and plasma and viewing distances.  I think I know how to wipe my rear end with a television now.  And you know what….

 

Innate said if you won’t trust me, cut a piece of cardboard the size I told you and hang it on the T-bar, so I did…..Guess what…..It was perfect. 

 

So simple.

 

Part 2

Last night I went to a CT Chiropractic Council board meeting.  I was the first to arrive and hated having to be there.  I gave up my monthly black belt class to attend the meeting because we were talking about actions from the ATTY Gen office regarding the Anti-Chiropractic campaign.  I knew the meeting topic was pretty important, but still, I resented being there. 

 

When I arrived, Dr. Luiggi asked me what’s wrong, I said “nothing.”  He replied, “No, seriously, what’s going on?”  I told him the above and he invited me to get adjusted.  I learned right there that he didn’t “check my spine”  he didn’t evaluate me for subluxation, he checked ME; my attitude, my purpose, my heart, my soul.  At that moment I realized the meaning behind “the more you get checked the healthier you are.”

 

Dr. Luiggi adjusted my C2 and Atlas and my mind cleared up.  All the crap I had carried into the meeting was gone.  It didn’t matter that I was missing out on a class or that I had kids at home.  I was there; I had a purpose and a reason for being there at that moment.  I may not have liked it, but I was supposed to be there.  And the meeting was productive.
