How often do you hear yourself saying that you need your CA to do something different, that you need more New People in your practice, that you need more time or any number of pleas of neediness?
There is a direct relationship between needing and having. I think that the more we need, the less we are capable of having. The greater your need for anything, the less you will have of that which you ‘need’.
Whether it is in a relationship, knowledge, understanding, power, money or any skill you care to name, the more you need, the less you will have.
High need is a state of scarcity, inherent in need is a sense of there not being enough, and that you may miss out.
It is not uncommon for new graduates to have a very high need state around practice. High loan repayments, low clinical experience and high self doubt all combine to indicate to the world that ‘I am in need’. The world, of course, reciprocates by withdrawing its bounty from the chiropractic newbie and life is a struggle.
Unfortunately this situation doesn’t always automatically resolve as time passes. Many practitioners spend their life in scarcity (not a nice city to live in) and stumble from one week, month or year to the next without experiencing abundance.
To turn this phenomenon around, apply a couple of simple steps. Firstly, notice your needy language, notice your needy behaviour and notice where you are doing scarcity in your life. This is followed by choosing to operate in every moment in a state of absolute service. Just try and out-give the universe. Be grateful for the opportunity to attend to every person who has entrusted their body to you and be fascinated in their life, the workings of their brain, spine and nerve system.
When you give unconditionally you will soon realise that you don’t “need” anything and at that time you will start receiving plenty.
