Choose the right one

ADA # 20- Choose The Right One

If you feel the treatment is not working well for you do not stay on with the same therapist. Review your progress regularly. Do not be afraid to point out areas that you feel need improving.  Discuss with your therapist how you could work together for better results.

Do your research properly on how to choose a therapist. Rapport and trust is very important in everything or anyone you choose. Also make sure that your therapist comes from a qualified training center. Always check for credentials.

Switch Off The “Idiot Box”

ADA #19 - Switch Off The “Idiot Box”

Turning off the TV for an hour each evening gives you 7 hours of extra time a week to accomplish any outstanding projects.  The excuse of “not enough time” does not hold anymore.

Differrent Time Zones

ADA # 18 - Different Time Zones

Teenagers have a different body clock to people of other ages. They are “pre-programmed” to stay up later and can sleep- in well into the afternoon! ( Parents, do not fret, your teen is normal!)   So aim for eight or nine hours of sleep a night if you want to be in top form at school or college.

Clear out the toxins

ADA # 17-  Clear Out The Toxins

Do not neglect exercise. Stretching exercises like yoga and pilates helps the body’s circulation moving.  Sweating through walking or cycling helps remove toxins from the body and alleviate the blues.

Have Gaps Between Appointments

ADA # 16- Have Gaps Between Appointments

When planning your day, leave time gaps between appointments in case of those “inevitable” moments. You won’t be thrown off course when emergencies or interruptions happen.

I remember once there was a day when I had to meet so many people at once. It started off with me having to meet this lady for a breakfast meeting. Everything went well but we ended up chatting a little too long. I was supposed to rush of for a session with a client at 11am. Lo and behold, there was an accidents along the route to my center. I was late by 15 minutes and luckily the client did not complain. That made me become late by 30 minutes for a lunch date wieth a friend. But nothing cannot be solved by me buying her lunch. But the lunch session was bad as I split gravy on my blouse. I didn't have time to change or buy a new top as I was due with another client in 10 minutes! Argh!! the embarrassment!

I was supposed to do the banking after the client. But the session ended late as well, leaving me with just 15 minutes to drive to the bank, park and get my number. That's impossible and so, it has to wait till another day.

Lesson to be learnt! Plan your appointmnets with at least a 30 minute breakk in between and be very generous in planning the time for travel. Anything can happen!
