The breathing effect - the economy and you

I was just visiting with a good patient and she was telling me how things were slow in her business, (the oil business is way down now), and how she was sort of enjoying it.

It just seems to me that we have been going crazy the last few years, nobody taking much time to enjoy things, we just are working ourselves crazy. Often we are too busy to be productive, I think.

A good analogy might be breathing- you can't just keep breathing in all the time, you know? A normal person breathes in, and then breathes out and both things are necessary. 

I think that we have all been holding our breath for too long, and we need to take advantage of a lull, if we have it, to really think about what our business model actually is, and how it might be better. Can't really do that when things are booming, can we?

Dentists have such blessings from an economic standpoint, truly. But it doesn't save us from the consequences of not thinking or applying what we know.

Have a great day.
