Optimize Your Career For Health

We spend an average of 2100 hours each year at a place called “work,” doing this thing called our “job” in an effort to advance our “career.” Yet, many use up all their “sick” time each year, and whatever other time they may or may not have coming to them, simply because they dislike their jobs. Many view their jobs simply as a means to an end; a way to bring home a paycheck. Sad. And we wonder why so many people are depressed and unhealthy?

We average 2100 at work each year...

There are organizations and individuals, CDs and books, bosses and coaches who can help you optimize your career so you are happier and therefore, healthier.

Try the following suggestions to make your workplace a better “headspace” eight hours each day:

  • Maintain a healthy work/life balance – don’t forget you have a life outside of your job. This will help you stay motivated and productive on the job!

  • Enjoy what you do – You spend too much time at your job to hate what you are doing. If you’re not suited for your current career, change it! Find work that doesn’t seem like work and is suited to your interests and personality.

  • Know your talents and market them. Each of us has a unique set of skills and hunger for a way to put them to use. Know what yours are so you can put them to use.

  • Find the right environment in which to use your talents – if the “culture” of your workplace is toxic, your talents can’t possibly shine. Move on!

  • Trust your intuition, those gut-level hunches that talk to you. Usually they are right, so don’t be afraid to believe in them, and yourself!

Dr. Cheri Asks some important questions of interest to Ottawa residents - Chiropractor Ottawa Dr. Cheri Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Ottawa residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Ottawa office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
