It’s a typical day. You wake up and drive to work knowing you have dozens of patients to see, several of which are difficult cases.
How do you cleanse your mind? How do you keep a positive perspective? How do you keep your strength of mind?
Connecting to what inspires you helps you fuel your passion and intention. It provides you with peace, perspective, and clarity. However, maintaining that perspective during your workweek can be difficult.
