Two clinicians discuss why private practice providers get stuck: doing only required CEUs, falling into routine, and avoiding deliberate learning. Boredom, they argue, actually creates space for growth and benefits both you and your business.
I think if you want to be great at whatever you're doing, you have to always be learning and growing and improving on what you're doing. I don't know if that's the direction you were going with that question, but.
No, I like it. I think that's great advice because many times as private providers, let's say private practice a solo provider so you can feel like an island, right? And sometimes you might not be learning and growing as much as maybe you did in the past because of you're either doing well, maybe you're a little complacent, maybe you're focusing on other things, or you. You just get into that habit of life. And yeah, you might do your CEUs, you know, as mandated, but beyond that, you're not doing too much else. So I think it's great advice to say, hey, the more that you can learn, and not only will you benefit personally, but your business will. Will benefit from that as a direct reflection of how much you're willing to grow, stretch, and learn.
Yeah, I think you just stay more engaged in life in general, too, as a person, when you're, like, giving yourself the space to learn new things and not be too, like, deep into the chaos of the everyday. And sometimes, BO boredom is required in order for you to reach into, like, finding the space to grow into something new.
