The Power of Positive Feedback

We seem especially skilled at pointing out the deficiencies in others, but we often forget to give praise when things go well. The old adage, “What gets rewarded is what gets done” is at work here. Giving positive feedback can be a powerful tool to reinforce a desired behavior. It’s a skill anyone can learn:

Do it Now. Positive feedback is most effective when it is delivered as quickly after the desired behavior as possible. Don’t let it slide.

Do it Publicly. While negative feedback is always delivered privately, positive feedback should be given in front of others, multiplying its effects.

Be Specific. Don't give a general, "Good job, Sally." Instead, identify the specific reason or detail that’s prompting your acknowledgment.

Do it Often. Since positive feedback is “emotional fuel,” don’t neglect the small victories. Celebrate them too.

Be Authentic. Don't offer empty praise. People can see right through you. Mean it when you give positive feedback.

Giving positive feedback takes practice. Today, be on the lookout and try to catch someone doing something great. You’ll make their day and yours too.

How do you "catch" a cold?
Simply lower your resistance by avoiding the proper rest and exercise, eating lots of sugar and junk food, putting up with emotional stress and neglecting your nervous system by avoiding your chiropractor. You won't have to catch a cold because it will catch you!
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Clermont 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.
