The past couple weeks I’ve been going through books on finding purpose. I think this has been challenging as I’ve found marginal fulfillment out of my current role at work. I’m not sure if this is the result of not continually working on improvement of the services that I’m offering. If I’m not in anContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 15”

There tends to be a benefit of being busier. You often increase productivity by having limited time. This helps with procrastination. That being said it’s nice being able to relax.

Belief is fundamental. When I think of my patients who are pursuing weight loss or those who are just starting to lift, if they tell meContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #8”

This week is going to be shorter as I just need to complete the task. This week I got through a couple of books on raising puppies as we picked one up yesterday. As we are crate training, I’m exhausted and didn’t get much sleep. On top of this we’re going through a move rightContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #7”
