If only clients would stop complaining about prices…
If only clients would bring their animals in before it is a crisis…
If only clients wouldn’t ask me medical questions on social media…
If only clients wouldn’t leave mean and untrue reviews on social media…
If only co workers would stop being cliquish…
If only co workers would stop calling in sick…
If only management would staff us appropriately…
If all these things were to become true, I would be happy and successful as a veterinarian.
FALSE!
The truth is, as much as all of those above things should happen, they are not going to make me happy.
That is often our belief. That I need other people to do things and then I will be happy.
Happiness comes from within.
Even if all of those things were to happen I would still be miserable. How many times have you gotten exactly what you asked for and yet you were still unhappy?
That is why my outlook on how to create a fulfilling and sustainable veterinary career, focuses on my beliefs about the world and myself. I am only able to change myself. That’s why I focus on choosing happiness, and find techniques and skills that change my view of our world … so that I am happier. Storytelling, affirmations, intentions, visualizing, awareness of my thoughts and attached emotions are all the things that I practice. And I teach these techniques to help others create the fulfilling life that is available to all of us!
Now, while I absolutely believe that all the above listed stressors should be corrected, I strongly feel they are NOT responsible for my mental and emotional health. We are all able to use the power within us to create the life we want, one step at a time. You CAN shape how you think about events so that they don’t create turmoil in your life. You CAN write the narrative of your story that reflects the powerful person that you are. We all have that ability!
You can live in a world where all the statements mentioned are true, AND you can be fulfilled and successful. I have strong faith that all of us can navigate the stressors that come with this profession, or that we can make leaving the profession a positive choice, not one of defeat.
Because I believe in this practice so strongly, I am happy to offer you a FREE one-on-one phone call with me so we can get to know each other, and together we can outline the strengths that you already have on your side. If it feels good to continue, you can sign up for a package of (8) weekly, 60-minute calls that will guide you to create the life that you want.
You will learn to see the events in your life as stepping stones not barriers.
You will see yourself as the strong, powerful, successful person that you are.
