Welcome Spring

Hello Spring! I thought this gorgeous weather would never get here. Well, who am I kidding I live in Arizona, it’s always gorgeous here! It goes without saying though, this is an ideal time to Recharge – Refresh – Refocus! I am not just talking about all things LiteGait (yes I am) I am also talking about YOU! It’s time for a little self-care and today is the perfect time to begin

 

"let's start with recharge;

Okay, this one is too easy you know where I am going with this. Are you charging your LiteGait battery correctly? When was the last time the battery was changed in your LiteGait? How about you, when was the last time you recharged yourself? When your mental and physical battery is dead you need to plug into recharging activities. Take a walk, throw on headphones and listen to your favorite tunes. Have fun! Play a little, and yes even at work, some fun activities can even make you work better. I bet you thought I was going to say unplug, get away from your screens, and take a break from social media. Not on your life, I need your content; you guys make great content, don’t stop creating, and don’t forget to tag me! (#LiteGait)

 

On to refresh

On to Refresh, have you participated in any of our “Refresher” webinars? We do them live every other month and they are Free. The PT team covers the basics of setup and a variety of uses, discussions, and questions are encouraged during the presentation. That is one way to refresh; another is to peek under the covers, just kidding, kinda, actually refresh your LiteGait by conducting a maintenance check. Routinely perform this check and avoid costly unplanned downtime, which only causes stress. This brings me back to you. What do you do to “refresh” yourself? When I need to rev myself up and think more clearly during the day one of my go tos is eating a mint. That’s right, these are not just for fresh breath, they actually wake you up-it's refreshing! Breathe deep and enjoy

"When others see you as someone who makes contributions beyond your immediate scope, more people come to you for help. This is a good thing; many of these requests are opportunities in disguise, being a consistent helper can open new personal and professional doors."

Okay focus, or should I say Refocus

How to Refocus on one of the things you do best, LiteGait therapy! At the risk of being a little self-indulgent, we had a moment ourselves last month to refocus on what we do best. We were called upon to help a four-legged friend, our team quickly went to work to build a unit we no longer sell just to give this pupper a chance. If you have a moment read the full story, Never say never to a paw in need. Now that I have completely distracted you and lost your focus, let’s get back to it. Watch a few Clinical Tips and Tricks webinars, they definitely help refocus and empower the everyday user. Another way is to sign up to be a Super User, this program is designed to help make you the go-to person for all things LiteGait in your department, plus you gain free CEs! When others see you as someone who makes contributions beyond your immediate scope, more people come to you for help. This is a good thing; many of these requests are opportunities in disguise, being a consistent helper can open new personal and professional doors. We are always looking for new LiteGait Trainers to teach our onsite sessions, give it a moment and think about it.
