Hey doc, let's talk about what YOU want. Yeah, you! When was the last time you actually thought about what you want in life?
In this episode, I'm challenging you to reconnect with your deepest desires and dreams. I know, I know - you're thinking, "Dr. Toya, I barely have time to pee, let alone dream!" But hear me out.
We dive into:
• Why knowing what you want is crucial (even if it seems impossible right now)
• How feeling directionless can leave you stuck and unfulfilled
• The power of having a "dream life" vision (trust me, it's game-changing)
• Getting past that "I don't have time" excuse (because we both know that's what it is)
• The unexpected joy that comes from letting yourself dream BIG
I share a story about a client who listened to my "Your Dream Life or Mine" episode (go check it out if you haven't!). Just thinking about her dream life - even though it felt impossible - made her happier than she'd been all week. You deserve that feeling too!
So here's your challenge: Take baby steps to create some thinking time. Maybe it's a 10-minute solo walk, locking yourself in the bathroom (we've all been there), or even folding laundry in peace. Find what works for you.
I want you to dream EXPANSIVELY. Don't worry about the "how" right now. Ask yourself:
• What do I want my life to look like in 5 or 10 years?
• Am I happy with my current practice?
• Have I ever thought about leadership roles? Or maybe leaving medicine altogether?
• What childhood passions have I put on the back burner?
Remember, this is just step one. We'll dive deeper into making these dreams a reality in future episodes. For now, give yourself permission to think and feel the excitement of possibility.
