Wow! What a month I've had. It has been fantastic to have so many kind and encouraging words from my fellow OT's. Thank you all so much. I have also been slightly taken aback by the number of OTs who have contacted me feeling dissolution and fed up about their work and profession. I guess I thought this was the case, and that is why I provide a specific service for OTs, but wouldn't it be great if it wasn't the case.
This week I have had to deal with something at work which I was dreading. I knew that if I did not deal with it I was in danger of jeopardizing my new found enthusiasm. Again I was coached in how to plan and execute this, and to check to motivations behind it. Recognising the importance of my own personal and career values meant that I knew that I had to do it. Meeting over, and what a relief. I can now get on with the job without those niggly feelings in the back of my mind.
What would be one thing that would make a big difference in your life as an OT and what steps can you make towards it this week?

Bye for now
