“Chance favors the prepared mind.”
The office opens at 8:00. I walked in this morning at 6:45. That’s pretty normal for me.
One thing being a Division I athlete taught me was to be early and be prepared. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. You can ask my wife—I’m early for EVERYTHING. 😂 If we’re going to the airport, we’re probably going to be way too early.
But I’ve learned over the years that I’m just a better version of myself when I have margin in my day. I’m a better husband, a better dad, a better chiropractor, and ultimately better for the people who trust me with their care. When you’re constantly rushing, running late, and trying to catch up, it’s hard to ever really settle in and be fully present.
I love these quiet mornings at the office. It gives me time to make sure everything is ready, take care of anything that needs to be cleaned up or handled, review cases, fill out MRI requests, get clerical work done, spend some time in my Bible, pray, and get my mind right.
Then when that first patient walks through the door, I’ve already settled in. I’m not thinking about everything else I need to do. My mind is where I want it to be—on healing and taking care of the person in front of me.
Prepared. Present. Ready to serve.
And speaking of today, we actually have a few openings this Friday, which is pretty rare for us! Give Rise Chiropractic a call at 918-727-7171, or check the scheduling link in the comments. There may still be a spot available.
