As part of our Morning Huddle e-newsletter, DPR partnered with notable practice management consultants to provide quick video tips to get your team talking.

Here are 12 ways to beat the everyday stress in your dental practice:

 

There are simple steps you can take that lead to successful stress control.

  • Vision. Establish your vision and revisit it often to make sure you’re moving in the right direction.

  •  

  • Write & prioritize your goals. By prioritizing goals, you will be able to see what is most important to you and your team.

  •  

  • Practice good time management. If you organize and plan your goals, your days and your life, you will have time to do the things you want to do most.

  •  

  • Exercise on a regular basis. Exercising regularly can help increase your well being, both physically and emotionally.

  •  

  • Practice proven relaxation techniques. By mentally relaxing your body, you can relieve tension, calm nerves and bring yourself back to a pleasant and calm state, relieving stress.

  •  

  • Feed your body properly. When your body feels well, your mind is strong.

  •  

  • Feed your mind positively. If you live your life expecting the best and nothing less, nothing can stand in your way!

  •  

  • Stimulate your creative centers with hobbies and outside activities. Tapping into your creative outlet will reduce stress and fatigue, while refreshing the creative part of your mind.

  •  

  • Communicate effectively. Your personal and professional relationships will be healthy and stress-controlled if you effectively communicate not only with team members and patients, but with your loved ones.

  •  

  • Organize! Organize every aspect; every system within your practice. Then, think consistency. There’s the key.

  •  

  • Eliminate. Get rid of the things in your life that are not working and focus on / give attention to the things in your life that are working.

  •  

  • Strive for achieving a balance in your life. A balance between love, work, worship and play will lead to happiness, less stress and a fulfilling life.
