Growth Reflection

by Dr. Tonya Caylor
Jun 03, 2025

Here's an exercise that I hope you find useful.

Think of either past examples that you would define as your best self. Or think of the self you'd like to aspire to be.

Now, which of your strengths are you exhibiting? What happens internally for you? How does it impact your relationships? What's one small thing you can begin to practice to uplevel your day to day self?

(Caution - Please only do this from a place of abundance. Ie. No negative self-talk allowed. This is not to be weaponized to beat yourself up - just to continue to find areas and ways to grow.)

He’s a mid-career family physician struggling with a career dilemma I hear often: β€œI’ve never stayed in one job more than x number of years. I feel like I need to leave my current one, and I think that must mean something is wrong with me.” Rather than...
