If you have followed the previous posts and emails, we have spoken about the plethora of courses and content out there. We have spoken about how finding the right course becomes so confusing and difficult. Yet you take the plunge. You select a course and move forward. You learn a lot on the course. In your state of inspiration and excitement gained from the course, you return to work. You are full of hope and enthusiasm that you will apply some of those learnings. You are excited that you want to implement the super new tips you learnt on the course on Saturday.

As you enter the practice, you are reminded to complete your compliance CPD. It is overdue and expired. You agree to get this done as a side thing. Your main focus is on applying those good things you learnt at the course. 

You start the day, and as you go through your day list, you immerse into your usual habitual routines. You struggle to find the space and the right patient to implement those techniques you learnt. You have some targets to achieve, or other demands to address. You get focused on these targets and demands. These suck up your time and attention. Before you know it the day passes, and the week passes. Your will and enthusiasm to implement those new tips that you really wanted to, slowly fades away. Your focus wanes. You get sucked into the day to day routine again.

Yet you have not completely forgotten it. You have not entirely given up on it. Some days later, finally you find an appropriate case. Your patient agrees to proceed. Then you recognise that you don’t have all the kit - some materials or equipment are not there. You kindly ask to order it, but you are told that there is no budget for it. You feel exasperated.

This constant frustration makes you feel stuck. Maybe you just need another place, another practice or another way, that values your growth and appreciates your intention. 

Where do you start when you feel stuck and disillusioned?

How do you find the way to implement the learnings? How do you unstick yourself? How do you find light in that disillusionment? Finding the right way can help you overcome the 10 challenges and unlock your potential to Thrive.

If you want to understand this better and really grow and thrive, join us at TubulesLive on the 07th May 2025 as we unravel further. It also has a list of the 15 common challenges – how many of these do you face?
