As the new year begins and you start to plan and set goals, it’s important to remember to pursue personal growth in whatever area you feel is necessary. Whether you want to improve your organizational skills, gain more industry knowledge, or improve your mindset, breaking through old thoughts and habits can be challenging to achieve your goals. Therefore, our dental practice consultants at Bryant Consultants share on the blog today three tips that can help you achieve your personal growth goals in 2023.
You may be wondering what your personal life and growth have to do with work or running your practice. A lot, actually! When you are organized and reach goals in your personal life, it provides a sense of stability in your work life. And consistency is contagious! Therefore, achieving your personal growth this year will likely impact your career growth as well.
Creative Experiences
Creative life experiences can open new perspectives, generate ideas, and stretch your creativity. For example, taking knitting, cake decorating, or woodworking classes can help you release stress and anxiety. Additionally, our dental office coaches explain that it can help you open up to learning and trying more. However, keep in mind the activity type you choose because it’s tempting to get carried away or feel overburdened with more to-dos to fit into your already tight schedule. So, start by taking things slowly and think about why you chose your specific activity. Remember, if you find an experience that isn’t what you thought it would be, you can always select another until you find the perfect one that aligns with your heart’s desire, interests, and time constraints.
Decluttering
Decluttering in the spring is a timeless trend to streamline life. With access to multiple tips and tricks thanks to resources available online, in print, and in person, decluttering can be a “freeing” activity that helps clear the space or your mind. Whether you’re getting rid of clothes, unused toys, or nick knacks around the house, removing clutter can be exciting. Also, decluttering your mind by writing things down or making notes can help release thoughts and allow new ones to occur. However, whether you are cleaning your home or your mind, you should have a goal you want to reach. Once you reach the goal, there’s no need to continue purging. Our dental practice coaches explain that the best way to stop is to plan out the activities, such as a basement or garage overhaul, and take a moment to think through the process before mindlessly tossing out everything. For mental decluttering, choose a specific topic and focus on writing down all the thoughts associated with the subject. The biggest tip is that the key to successful decluttering activities is recognizing that the space doesn’t need to fill again. Therefore, you can take the declutter approach at home, for your personal gain, as well as in your practice, to help streamline your job.
Delegation
No individual can take on every responsibility, especially as a dental practice owner. Therefore, delegating tasks to others can help get required activities done by multiple people and balance the workload for a low-stress environment. Our dental office consultants explain that delegation can work at the practice and home. For example, delegate home care activities to each family member or hire someone to clean your house. First, ensure everyone understands their task and the overall expectations, and then get to work. In most cases, everything will get done, and no one should feel overwhelmed. However, some people may rebel against correctly helping or not completing the task. Criticizing someone too harshly can increase your stress and anxiety and increase your blood pressure. Also, your team or family member may become irritated, resulting in an uncomfortable working environment. Remember that some things aren’t major emergencies and should receive careful handling. Relaxation and increased output are excellent delegation benefits when you entrust your staff with the freedom to choose their effective path for completing the work.
