LET THE CALENDAR HELP

A message from Terry: There’s a certain magic to all things new. That ‘new car’ smell. The unblemished sheen of a new pair of shoes. The promise, each September, of a backpack of new school supplies. And, for all of us, whatever our age or phase of life, the arrival of a crisp New Year, every January 1st.
You may well have taken action on your own New Year’s resolutions. But have you considered using that same new-year morale boost as a way to inspire your patients to improve their lives by improving their dental health?
During the past week, the internet and morning talk shows have abounded with advice on how to make sure that our resolutions are more than a one-week wonder. Here is the heart of that advice, boiled down into three simple steps that you and your patients can put into action:
- Be concrete.
- Think small.
- Hold yourself accountable.
That’s it! Just three little steps – but, properly respected and observed, they can work a magic all their own. For those who give those three steps a chance, a whole new adventure of accomplishment awaits!
