The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is one of the most interesting and transformative books that I have read on personal growth and creativity.  Veterinarians are creative people, but somewhere along the way we lose the joy of creativity to the structure of medicine. In this book Julia challenges us to explore our creative selves by participating in certain activities; Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and noticing the inner critic. These activities unlock our creative potential and bring more joy to our lives and our work.  On this podcast I go through some of the basic principles of the book and challenge all of us to increase our creativity and restore some childlike magic back into our veterinary lives.  Learn more about Julie at theveterinarylifecoach.com Contact Julie at jacappeldvm@gmail.com

Today we are going to unpack what "being nice" really means in the context of client service - and how to do it in a way that doesn't burn you out or compromise your ethics, values, and morals.  Hospital reviews show that our clients want to feel cared for, safe, respected and heard.  When we are stressed, sometimes we lose the ability to be kind and patient and that is exactly what gets us into trouble with miscommunication and client dissatisfaction.  Let's see if we can turn the negativity around simply by sharing a little kindness.

Commitment is essential for our work, our purpose, and for taking care of ourselves.  Commitments are intentional choices that we make to keep showing up, even when it gets difficult, or when our feelings start to change.  We have a commitment to animal welfare, lifelong learning, and to ourselves.  This commitment must be honored in order to build our best life.  We may not always feel good about our day, but our commitment to our profession and our mental health is what makes it all worthwhile.   Contact Julie at theveterinarylifecoach.com Buy Julie's book on Amazon - Love Your Veterinary Life - The Veterinary Life Coach Guide to Harnessing Your Mind and Building and Incredible Life
