Yes, it’s my lucky day. I get to talk about the most amazing concept ever on Christmas Eve. We’ll be picking right up from last week, as I want to really drive this home.
Here’s the thing, as I said before, the gift of deserve is not just for your patients. It is for you! As Kevin and I talk about all the time, you are special and you deserve to be treated special; especially by YOURSELF.
That’s right. You just gotta get in the habit of being more positive, loving, caring, generous and attentive to yourself. It really is impossible to take care of others – at least in the way they deserve – if you aren’t taking care of yourself first.
I have to tell you the secret to all of this. It’s to give yourself permission…
To be happy
To be healthy
To pursue your goals
To forgive
To be proud
To want
And especially and most of all to NOT feel guilty about any and all of the above.
You do so much for so many IN and OUT of your office. So, trust me, you deserve more too.
This is a gift, I promise. It’s a conscious decision and a feeling that you initiate from within. As you know, your outside world reflects your inside world more so than your inside worlds reflects your outside world.
Meaning that, as a powerful person, you feel, think, do and then things happen – NOT the other way around (where things happen and then you decide what to do, think and feel). You want to be the cause not the effect.
And that begins with you giving yourself the gift to know, believe and feel deserving; and then acting accordingly.
I can tell you this: you will encourage, motivate and inspire a lot more patients to say yes, get healthy and have the smile of their dreams – if you are a shining example of deserve and you radiate confidence, joy and fulfillment FIRST.
Today begins the same as everyday – with you. Make it count, make it meaningful, make it memorable and make it the day you take care of yourself by giving yourself permission to deserve more.
For your Holidays and Christmastime, go ahead and make that list that might feel or even be a little selfish. Then, in about one week’s time, you can make next year the year you start at the top and work right down it like any other to-do list checking off the things you really want.
If that doesn’t sound like fun, I don’t know what would. Because, after all, you deserve it.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Cherish the moments, make the memories and love each other AND yourself.
