Ep.14: First Aid for Burnout
You may feel overwhelmed and powerless right now in vet med. But hold on! You can do so much to overcome the burnout. You are NOT powerless and you can totally enjoy this profession and live a great life.
How do I know? I did it! And I know many more who did.
In this episode I give you my 5 tips for First Aid in burnout. You can work on them all at once, or just decide on ONE thing, and implement for a month.
Imagine if you implemented one thing a month for a year, how different you life will look like?!?!
Also - have patience. If you’ve built up burnout over months or years, it’s not going to disappear overnight. But if you keep at it, you’ll be surprised at how much better you’ll feel, and it won’t feel like such a long time after all.
If you want more help with this don’t forget I’m still taking on 1-1 clients for 4 months coaching. I’m just a call away and love talking to you whether you sign up for my coaching or not:
