The start of a new year can trigger changes to make ourselves better, and Paragon Orthopedic Center supports all changes toward good health, both mental and physical. The Wall Street Journal had a great article that asked the introspective question: What matters most to you? Here are the five strategies offered to give clarity to values and goals for 2023:
- Try a thought experiment, asking yourself questions about your current priorities in life to bring what is important to the fore. What do you value?
- Observe your behavior. How do your respond to the ups and downs of life and are they productive to the life you want to live?
- Ask yourself questions to get in touch with passions that might have been buried by work.
- Learn from other people. Pay attention to the reactions of others to inform us of our effect on the world. Sometimes the person we want to be is not how we are being perceived.
- Explore new possibilities. You don’t have to be a kid to try something new. What do you do for fun? Be careful of following the shiny objects in life for fulfillment and do something that is of value to you.
Paragon Orthopedic Center encourages you to make a difference. Humans need to feel valued and when you do something to impact another person’s life, even in a small way, it provides an internal satisfaction that shiny objects cannot provide. Make a difference in 2023!
