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!
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Denville folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
