    As Veterinarians we sometimes struggle with Compassion Fatigue. Compassion fatigue is not the same as general burnout, though the two often go hand in hand.  Burnout stems from overwork, long hours, and chronic stress.  Compassion Fatigue, on the other hand, is more emotional and relational.  On this podcast let's talk about compassion fatigue and what we can do to begin to work our way out of it and prevent it from damaging our love for our veterinary career.

    Happy 300th episode!  Most veterinarians have perfectionist tendencies and our profession encourages it because we need to adhere to high standards.  Perfectionism is sometimes healthy because it can lead to motivation and drive, but taken to extremes will lead to many unhealthy results.   Perfectionism can be a symptom of anxiety, and anxiety can lead to more perfectionism.  This drive towards perfection can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation.  Internal pressures such as the desire to avoid failure, criticism, or judgement will turn toxic if we don't work to change those internal pressures.  Perfectionism may lead to depression and even suicide if we do not learn to understand why we feel the need to be perfect.  Allowing for imperfection, even in small ways, will open up possibilties and make life more fulfilling.

Self-worth comes from thinking that you are worthy of all good things, no matter what has happened in the past and what challenges you face presently.

    Can you dream your way to success?  I think you can. Dreaming sounds like fantasy, but every big accomplishment in your life started as an impossible dream.  As life becomes hard, it tends to beat the dreams out of us and we forget how to use dreams to create new goals.  When we feel stuck in life, we have thoughts that there is no other way, but in reality we are never truly stuck. We always have choices.  Impossible can be overcome by dreaming and then taking time and action to work towards a dream. You can accomplish anything with small steps and coaching yourself to do better and get better.   Please share with me your dreams, and one step that you will take to begin working towards that dream. theveterinarylifecoach.com, jacappeldvm@gmail.com
